“We die because we don‘t matter in the non-disabled world.”

Note: This book is not easy.

If anyone doesn‘t believe this quote after everything we witnessed since the beginning of COVID, their heads are so deep in the sand they‘ve hit bedrock. I really feel this now that Trump‘s man RFK Jr is destroying the few things that were protecting my daughter and the governor of California is actively cutting services to disabled people.

AnnCrystal What!! Our Governor Newsom?? What?? No...

🙏🏼💝.

IriDas @AnnCrystal Newsom is a rich man‘s liberal, just like Brown. The needs of the common person are not his main interest. That has been obvious by, among many things, his cuts to education, his horrible “solution” to the teacher crisis, and, most recently, his fawning over the likes of Charlie Kirk. 2d
AnnCrystal @IriDas what!!!! Oh man, I stay as up to date with my politicians as much as I do my favorite celebrities...I have to do better. Especially in this day and age! Thanks, I will do more research. 🙏🐻💝. 2d

Back to work this week. The digital book is both audio and ebook, depending on my activity or mood. The physical is to read at work since we are not supposed to be using our phones in the office/classroom due to the nature of our work.

“I believe in the disabled future.”

This will be a hard read. Especially for folks with no experience with the hardships disabled people face, let alone those who are disabled AND (queer, BIPOC, etc.). Everything written in the intro about white disabled “spaces” is true, even for white people who might not have access to care through insurance or their own money. In Chapter 1, COVID response is spelled out perfectly by pointing out that ⬇️

IriDas The government, including the CDC, was perfectly OK with disabled, elderly, etc, deaths because they don‘t want disabled people here anyway. Even during the Biden administration the CDC proudly proclaimed that the only people really dying were the disabled and elderly and those who were gonna die anyway. (Sound familiar?) Hard read, but worth it. 7d

I was out running errands and popped into Dollar Tree because I remembered that I needed super glue. I checked the book aisle, saw they restocked, grabbed as *much* as I could carry, ran into a former student and awkwardly chatted while my face was partially obscured by a towering book stack that kept getting heavier, aaand then proceeded to leave the store without super glue. 🤦🏼‍♀️ But look at this awesome stack for $20!!

Got further in this than I have in awhile, but I still cannot engage with trad pub single POV. I'll keep testing it periodically! Sorry, perfectly nice book!
