#covidconscious Friends! I wanna use this space to share people's work so we can all support each other in some way. If you're an author, an artist, a musician, have anything you make, sell, share, do as a way to support yourself, please feel free to comment & tell us about it!

I’ve lost so much since becoming a disability advocate.
People “tolerated” my chronic illnesses when I could hide them.
When I played through the pain for their comfort.
When I stopped hiding, they abandoned me.
They wanted the other version of me. The one who was faking it.
Between burnout from the pandemic, school, herniated disc, thyroid cancer & treatment, a year of this weird thing going on with my eyes (aura migraines apparently) & more. But I’ve been reading, mostly fiction, some nonfiction too.

Some good in the midst of everything.
Lately, I’ve been able to actually read more. It’s been hard to read anything longer than a few pages for a few years.

For anyone who believes that it’s simple to fake getting on disability benefits, I’d love to see you try. If you truly understood the way the system works, you’d never think it’s easy to fake it. Between the paperwork and evidence and denials, most who need it aren’t getting it.
Finally got a copy of @sabinanordqvist’s book yesterday! You all should go support my disabled (& covid aware) frand & get a copy:
