Broadwaybabyto<p>When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” ask yourself this… healthy for whom? When was America healthy? </p><p>It’s not about health. It’s about thinning the herd.

Broadwaybabyto<p>“I don’t know how you do it! I could never be chronically ill!”</p><p>We didn’t get a choice. No one asked our permission. Disability just happens. It can happen to you too.</p><p>We cope because we have no choice. We can’t trade our bodies in for new ones. We can’t “try harder” our way out of it.</p><p>“Unfortunately most people can’t process the lack of choice in the matter. They genuinely believe that we either want to be this sick, or could get better if we really ‘tried’. They believe they wouldn’t be able to handle what we go through, because they’re convinced they will never NEED to handle it. They’re the exception. Chronic illness won’t happen to them”</p><p><a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/why-are-chronically-ill-people-forced" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">disabledginger.com/p/why-are-c</span><span class="invisible">hronically-ill-people-forced</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicillness</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/spoonie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spoonie</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableism</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/mecfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mecfs</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disabilityrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityrights</span></a></p>

Broadwaybabyto<p>When I started The Disabled Ginger I sent it to my friends and family … as most of us do. </p><p>I was proud that I was finally standing up for disability rights. That I was taking my pain and putting it on the page in an effort to help others. That I had found something that lit a spark inside me. </p><p>Unfortunately, many of my friends didn’t feel the same way. </p><p>My disabilities are invisible, and I had become very good at hiding them. Apparently that’s what people expected of me, as they didn’t like this “new” version of Kelly. </p><p>Almost none of my friends subscribed. What’s worse, many stopped talking to me. Or would only reply in brief texts. </p><p>It’s almost been a year since I launched, and my circle is noticeably smaller. Many people I thought I was close with haven’t reached out for nearly 6 months. </p><p>When you find your purpose and your passion, it’s an incredible feeling. Hopefully people support you. </p><p>Not everyone will. And that’s ok. </p><p>It’s painful seeing so many relationships fade away. It hurts knowing they don’t see the value in me now that I’m “officially” disabled. </p><p>As painful as it is, it’s also a perfect example of why I became an advocate. Ableism is a huge problem. Being disabled can be incredibly lonely. I wanted to give a voice to those who haven’t yet found theirs. </p><p>In the process I’ve met incredible people from all over the world who inspire me to keep going. Who give me a reason to write every day. Who remind me of the compassion, love and goodness that’s still out there. </p><p>Thank you to each and every one of you. I couldn’t do this alone. </p><p>My latest looks at the reasons we hide, and what would happen if we all decided to stop hiding and show the world the realities of chronic illness: </p><p><a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/why-are-chronically-ill-people-forced" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">disabledginger.com/p/why-are-c</span><span class="invisible">hronically-ill-people-forced</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicillness</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/mecfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mecfs</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableism</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disabilityrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityrights</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a></p>

Robot Diver<p>So this is my rage with Canada. The basic cost of living in BC is $2200/month which is a very low ball number based on experience. Rent on a shitty studio apartment will run you over $1000/month, same for a room in a house.<br>BC is one of the most expensive provinces in Canada to live in. We have waitlists for affordable housing of at least 7 years in most places and those are mainly family living for people with children and don't address single disabled people. Our homeless population counts thousands of disabled people amongst it.</p><p>As a disabled person with a partner, I am disqualified from even accessing PWD because she has an income and so I am just seen as her dependent. I can access a small tax rebate when I can work and that is all the support we get. It took me four years and three denials to access this. </p><p>I am of the mindset that BC is consistently participating in passive eugenics when it comes to the disability community at large, not just when it comes to masking, but on all levels. </p><p>(For my Brit friends, this is just over £9000 a year.)</p><p><a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/disabilityRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityRights</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/howIsThisLegal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>howIsThisLegal</span></a></p>

Pixel is the smallest dragon<p>Sharing from a friend who saw this in one of their discords<br>&gt; I'm Lloyd May, an accessibility researcher from Stanford University working with Prof. Emily Wang at Oberlin College. </p><p>&gt; We are currently running a research study on centralizing video game accessibility settings. If you play video games and identify as disabled, Deaf, and/or neurodiverse, we'd love to learn more about your experiences over a 1-hour online interview. You would also receive a $35 gift card as a thank-you for your involvement in the study after the interview. </p><p>&gt; If you, or anyone else you know, are interested, please fill out this short interest form: <a href="https://forms.gle/ijawa9SpiUvr5zvs5" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">forms.gle/ijawa9SpiUvr5zvs5</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p>&gt; Note: This a purely academic research study.
