Well maybe I don’t WANT to work double as hard as abled people!! Maybe I deserve a BREAK!! Maybe I’ve been working MORE THAN double as hard for MY WHOLE LIFE and it’s led me to immense burnout & caused me to develop several MORE disabilities!! Maybe I should be ACCOMMODATED so I don’t have to KILL MY BODY AND BRAIN over trying to do what abled people can do!! Maybe I DON’T have to work double as hard!! Maybe if there’s the option to let me NOT work double as hard, I should have it, because I’m already working double as hard JUST TO SURVIVE!!

When I was in psychological rehab, we had two Nordic walking groups, one fast and a longer distance, the other shorter and slower. Knowing myself, I chose the slower group.

20min into the walk, I'm gasping for air, everything aches and I can't keep up, as well as a few others. Because the group got nearly separated, the fastest people stopped for a while and waited for us. When we had just caught up, seeing the others resting, they decided it's time to move on. We protested, but the physiotherapist who led the group just shrugged and said something along the lines of 'it would be boring for the fast walkers to wait even more'

I'm sorry that my need for a break bores you. I'm sorry that your inability to adjust your walking speed even the slightest bit while I'm desperately trying to keep up, adjusting my walking speed to yours all the way, leads to me being completely exhausted and needing a break. A break that you just had, and that you deny me now.

I got no new comics yet so Im'ma post this short animatic I made a couple of weeks ago... It's a trilogy so buckle up for part 2 and 3 😁🙌
