I haven't exactly meant to disappear from social media for a month (🫢) but I've been working on getting my meds adjusted and am, after about 18 months of titrating, FINALLY off my SSRI and on the lowest dose before I'm done done. (Once it's at this level it no longer contains SSRI meds.)

Eczema under my eye gave me a whole peeling lizard dry skin situation to the point where it is literally a bruise and I look like I got punched in the face.
If you see me, I promise I am fine, and am going to tell everyone this happened fighting Nazis.

I never stop hearing about the careful line we have to walk and the local politics and the blah blah blah where I live, and it’s always from people who can’t grasp that they’re literally coming for all of us. Some slower, some faster.
But “disability leaders” love to throw us away.

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

I have been fighting with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama for a full week on a semaglutide prescription. They have not provided me with my benefits booklet, the medical criteria required, the correct formulary list, and refuse to do a peer-to-peer with my clinician.

It's going to be so interesting seeing a lot of white disabled folks find out after fucking around for many years.
I've worked with so many people who imagine that when they come after us, they'll come for *those* disabled people (i.e., anyone darker than a paper bag) and not *us.*

“Like yeah we don’t want Black people to compete with us for jobs and we are too stupid to handle changing our language but we’re not RACIST racist, hey wait come back”
A lot of elite media types bought into anti-DEi/anti-trans talking points because they were promised they could do so without appearing as blatantly bigoted as Trump/Musk and they're terrified their cover is being blown
This is actually in the same Bari Weiss newsletter blast this morning.
There is something deeply, darkly funny about the Free Press spending months fomenting exactly this before being concerned about going too far.
