As long as I am able I know that it’s not for long. Life and listening taught me that. I feel closer to life and living, the more aware of its fragility.
I think more of us should love the sick, the disabled, and the frail. It’s good, actually.

The problem to be solved is the system. How do we make the system want to be as generous as our hearts are? How do we make the system stop denying that there is enough to go around? How do we make them stop lying? No, not the people asking for accommodation — the liars are the systems _denying_ it.

Seems like a lot of people are stepping up to set this right, but I just have to note that this makes my blood boil, for very personal reasons involving very sick people I love, fuck you very much
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

A lot of folks have spent time dunking on this and being angry in response; both are understandable because this view is wrong. But I also understand how people *arrive* at this mindset, because it's the cultural default that we're taught if we don't know any better. One of scarcity and vengeance...

I keep seeing frustration (this is just the latest) over media only covering the horrors, not what to do about them—but they seem to miss stories about what people *are* doing.
I report on that expressly because I want people to know there are people fighting back, and learn how they could, too.
