co-opting the language of feminism to exclude and discriminate against trans women isn’t feminism btw! it’s just thinly-disguised hatred & bigotry that has absolutely zero place in any feminism or everyday life in general

I’ve viewed the digital world as an escape from my body—symptoms dulled into submission or to be distracted from. but i am realising that I can’t leave my body behind—my digital practice, my writing, is informed by sickness. & sickness can change the way we think, organise and act—a knowledge tool.

although I think the requirement of biocertification to be deemed worthy of care is fucked, that western medicine’s need for diagnosis for bodies that are inherently fluid & unstable is often unnavigable—I’m glad to have an appt with the ME clinic soon so that what is happening has at least a name

I’ve been struggling to articulate why I like to use the term ‘sick’ and I think this does a great job at explaining it:

rachel reeves isn’t stupid. she *knows* a huge number of people are either too physically or mentally ill to meet the demands of work. she *knows* disability benefit fraud is a minuscule sum, effectively 0%. she’s just a scapegoat-seeking sadist happy to kill off disabled people

for a while, my writing about pain meant writing only about the emptiness & destruction of it: an outlet to give the unknowable a language. what’s coming up for me now is a desire to move into a space that captures a greater depth, not a terrible after, just a life that takes on different meaning.
