Stop saying things like "No matter what happens tomorrow, it'll be fine, we're gonna be okay" because it's privileged and and ableist as fuck.
I don't say it or show it often but I'm fucking terrified.
I don't say it or show it often but I'm fucking terrified.
If shit goes left (don't act like you're unaware of what I mean by this) disabled people like me and my family will be the first targets regardless of the result because this is the tone that's been set in this country and by this administration.
Violence and death are real possibilities and while I will definitely go down swinging if anything comes to my doorstep, there's only so much I can physically do
No one in my house owns a gun let alone is able to shoot one if we had access so don't even suggest it and none of you motherfuckers who talk big and bad are are coming to help.
No one in my neighborhood is gonna stand between us and them should the worst happen, no one is gonna make it their problem.
I used to be made of sterner stuff but a lifetime of chronic illness, progressive disability coupled with the last four years definitely has me rattled in way that's a bit hard to comprehend at times because this period of time has been so unforgiving and relentless
I'm about as hopeful and optimistic as I can be at this point but I'm grounded and beaten down by the stark realization that ain't nobody gonna come put their body on the line between me and mine to protect us.
If today is the last time you hear from me, Be good to yourself and each other, Never stop fighting injustice and systems of oppression, fuck the frail shit and unify, I send light, love and strength to you all.
