Finally, some new art! Really had fun with the colors on this one, feels the complete opposite of the rainy spring I’m experiencing right now 🌧️

cooking with trauma

generally disabled people are aware that the primary or only support system many people get is their family. that without someone to advocate for you, you face homelessness, medical neglect, legal abuse, and often slip through the cracks. and when you're disabled and your support system is also disabled there's a lot of compounding interest. family disability tends to go hand in hand with poverty, multiple generations of medical neglect or medical trauma, people being unable to fully manage their own health nevermind yours, and disabled people having to push themselves to support other disabled people. sometimes you know that working is killing your health but out of the whole family, all of which are disabled, you happen to be the most able to work. sometimes you can see just how easy things would be if there was just the right support, but not only do you lack that support and struggle for it, everyone around you lacks the support and struggles for it. the disabled family unit is just so complicated and there's so many thoughts i have on it

im here for you
