no one ever teaches you how to properly manage your disabilities, but lots of people will try to teach you to be abled

Chronic illness is relentless. It’s literally built into the name.

“Chronic” means we can’t just take a restful weekend and feel “all better”.

It’s day after day of feeling sick, tired and in pain - often while people gaslight you and endlessly ask “are you better yet?”

We aren’t getting better. “Sick” is our new normal. We have good days and bad days - but we aren’t going to magically wake up one day & not be chronically ill.

Accepting this is incredibly hard. Don’t make it harder for us by making us hide our sick for your benefit. Help us lean into acceptance.

And now I'm going to have a strong cup of coffee which won't do anything to make me feel more alert at all

They should make a getting out of bed that isn't hard and cold

Luigi Mangione and Brian Thompson were two men who did the same thing: they decided who got to live or die.

Except Luigi Mangione took out a man who helped decide that thousands upon thousands get to die for profit. Brian Thompson condemned thousands and thousands to death for a fat paycheck.

This was a person who made the active decision to reject as many claims as possible for medical assistance, claims that would have saved the lives of children, teachers, mothers, he went into work each day and actively worked to cause as many people a long, painful death as he could to add an extra 0 to his bonus. There is no redeeming that. You need to understand that he was an enemy of the working class, not some great, stand up guy, he knew he was killing people, he knew.

A health insurance CEO was never going to suddenly have a Scrooge moment and decide to undo all the pain and suffering he'd caused, and he was going to continue collecting paychecks written in the blood of cancer patients and miscarriage victims and everyone who died of a preventable disease. His job was to cause people to suffer and die to save his company money, it wasn't an undeserved end for scum of his type
