separate points

The CDC director says fuck disabled and chronically ill lives. I’m also going to point out that you’re significantly more likely to be disabled if you are Native American or Black so this is also racist. The CDC out here officially cheering our deaths is just the perfect way to start 2022.

So while it IS good news that Omicron is apparently less deadly than previous mutations, it is NOT in any way acceptable for the CDC or the press to throw literal millions of people under the COVID bus and just shrug it off like, "Welp, they were sick anyway."

me saying i’m disabled isn’t negative self talk. it’s just a true statement. and it’s neutral.

like i once had someone say “i wouldn’t say you’re disabled” like dude i can’t stand in the shower without nearly fainting. i can’t even get out of bed most days. i have to sit down when i brush my teeth. i had to drop out of high school because i couldn’t physically endure it. i am disabled. that is not your truth to decide. it’s my reality.

We're just inconvenient to have around. Let us die like lame horses. We were already sick anyways, right?

I sit with my grief. I mother it. I hold its small, hot hand. I don’t say, shhh. I don’t say, it's okay. I wait until it is done having feelings. Then we stand and we go wash the dishes.

Because those kind people who shared theirs made me confident. Not all of us are accepted in our lives. Some of us aren't even treated like a being who deserves respect. Sometimes people ignore us altogether. Sometimes they say nasty things.

It hurt a lot because I felt broken, I felt wrong. I questioned my worth. I thought that I meant nothing.

Then I started reading what other disabled people posted. They were confident, loud, proud. "Get your accommodations, fight for your rights, shout your existence!" I felt accepted, I felt strong, I felt home. I became proud of myself, I never bowed down and looked at the pavement again.

Relatives try to give me random advice, some think that I exaggerate, some think that I'm a faker, some worry too much, some pity me in a "oh the little soul whose life is ruined" way.

But the disabled community compliments my cane, shares cool tips, laughs with me, mourns with me, stands with me, supports me, just gets me. I am allowed to rant, joke, cry, laugh, ramble, speak...

I am allowed to exist.

1) convincing American society that prisoners are all “rapists and murderers” despite the fact that: a) most prisoners are drug offenders, b) even most violent offenders are just victims of class society and could very easily be turned into non-violent people, and c) our country seems to be run by people who are either rapists or murderers and no one seems to care.

2) using that bad reputation to not only make people apathetic to any kind of brutality or atrocity committed against prisoners who don’t deserve any of it (see a and b) but using it as an excuse to increase the power the carceral state has over EVERYONE, all while smearing those who disagree as supporting rapists and murderers.
