One of the worst parts of living with chronic illness is that it’s nearly impossible to know when something acute is happening

When you live your life high on the pain scale, when you normalize constant exhaustion & suffering, you learn to dismiss things that ableds never would or could 🧵

Being chronically ill means existing in a body that doesn’t function, living a life others can’t understand, suffering nearly 24/7 while being constantly told you’re not good enough.

No matter what you do, it’ll never be enough because disabled people are seen as less than. 🧵

You're no doubt seeing lots of sign up for this / GIVE TO THIS / help us stop messages.

Reminder: don't give money unless you know where it is going. There are people who are just trying to cash in on your rage / grief / despair / desire to help. (1/10)

I wrote about the compulsion to speak about things we can't change, the confusion between posting and doing, the emptiness of meaning that pushes us to silence, and children facing death in Israel and Gaza: https://theswordandthesandwich.substack.com/p/speech-and-speechlessness
