Broadwaybabyto<p>This is the longest I’ve ever gone without publishing an article, and the stress of not having anything ready is weighing heavy on my heart </p><p>It’s ironic considering how often I write about the importance of resting and listening to your body when it needs a break. </p><p>I’m so grateful for the Disabled Ginger community, but my body and brain clearly need a break. </p><p>I sit down to write everyday, and so far all I have is 30+ drafts with titles, a few images and (at best) two lines of actual content. </p><p>This is the harsh reality of chronic illness. It doesn’t matter how much you WANT to do something… if your body says “No”… Its a No. </p><p>You can’t try harder your way out of it. You can’t play through the pain. </p><p>The more you try to fight your body, the harder and longer the crash. </p><p>If you’re struggling to rest right now, take this as a sign to unplug. Relax. Recharge. Give your body what it’s crying out for and do it without the guilt. </p><p>We will all be here for you when you’re ready. </p><p>Sharing my article on radical rest from the archives, because I need the reminder & maybe so does someone else:</p><p><a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/its-time-to-throw-away-the-coulda" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">disabledginger.com/p/its-time-</span><span class="invisible">to-throw-away-the-coulda</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/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/selfcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfcare</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/rest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rest</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/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableism</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/mecfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mecfs</span></a></p>

Broadwaybabyto<p>If MAHA truly wanted to tackle the chronic illness epidemic, they would provide the following:</p><p>Free respirators, Covid/flu tests and vaccines </p><p>Clean air in public spaces </p><p>Paid time off/sick leave </p><p>paid childcare </p><p>Mandatory masking in healthcare</p><p>Universal healthcare</p><p>Universal basic income </p><p>They don’t want to end the chronic illness epidemic, they want the chronically ill to disappear. There’s a big difference. </p><p>It’s eugenics on full display, and people are buying it because of their own internalized ableism. </p><p>They need to believe chronic illness can’t happen to them. That if they do the “right things” they will be fine. </p><p>Everyone is only temporarily abled. Help us fight for better social supports, healthcare and inclusion.

Broadwaybabyto<p>The man in charge of HHS used the R slur in an FDA meeting where he derided children with disabilities as well as people with autism.</p><p>This is the man in charge of health and human services for the entire United States. </p><p>RFK Jr is a snake oil salesman and a eugenicist. He speaks of disabled people as though they don’t deserve to live, and I truly believe that’s what he thinks of us. </p><p>He’s not going to cure autism (it’s not something that needs to be cured).

Broadwaybabyto<p>I understand wanting to go 'back to normal'. Pandemics are traumatizing and scary. Of course people want to forget them.</p><p>But they don't end when we decide we've had enough. The threat doesn't go away because we have 'Covid fatigue' or because we’re sick of masking.</p><p>We must stop denying the reality that Covid is still with us, still killing and still disabling people. </p><p>We must work on our collective trauma and push for common sense measures like masks in healthcare, free respirators and tests and clean air in public spaces.</p><p>“Back to normal” isn’t working. It’s a mirage. The comfortable lie. </p><p>But we can move towards a new normal together. One where everyone is safer and healthier.

Cassian [main]<p>I'm heading to another town by train because I'm picking up reading glasses that I ordered in July (9 months ago), because it has taken this long for the following:</p><p>- PA availability (only 2 days per week)<br>- optician fitting appointment availability (with private side room (due to autism))<br>- trains not being out of action (I can't do cars or buses due to autistic sensory stuff)<br>- me having enough time and energy around other more urgent things (one million medical appointments mostly)<br>- not getting a spontaneous migraine or a bad pain day or insomnia that prevents me going on the day</p><p>So like for most people they'd be able to pick up their glasses two weeks after ordering, which is how long you have to wait for them to be ready to collect. With my various disabilities and chronic conditions it has taken 9 months.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a></p>
