The key mistake here, and this happens a lot across all parts of our culture, is the idea that unless your action is the sole deciding factor in the outcome, the action is useless.
Even people who get that we’re all just pebbles need to believe they could be *the one* that starts the avalanche.

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join.
Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard”
It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life. Engage in disability justice.
