Help a disabled person 🚨

Hi, I’m Hannah. My birthday is in a few weeks, but I will be spending it with appointments all this month. I have two procedures (colonoscopy and endoscopy), a barium swallow test, another GI appointment, a neurology appointment, and an MRI. My copay for the MRI alone is $150. Both the endo and colonoscopy are also $150 each. All I want for my birthday is to be able to pay for it all. If possible, please share this. Thank you.

Also linking proof of my testing scheduled!

As a chronically ill person, I’m not resting because I want to. I’m resting to avoid getting worse and because my body has given me no choice.

“You’re still sick?!”

CHRONIC: adjective · continuing for a long time; constantly recurring; difficult to eradicate

Glad we cleared that up

Solidarity includes disabled people. If you can’t even wear a mask to protect others, I can’t possibly take you seriously when you’re talking about attempting to make any kind of revolutionary change.

One way to know if you’re ableist:

You base someone’s worth on their productivity and what they can offer to capitalism.

Fatigue feels like you have sandbags tied to your feet while trying to walk. It feels like you haven’t slept in weeks. It feels like gravity is pulling you down. It feels like cotton balls are in your head, clouding everything.

Fatigue is NOT the equivalent to being tired.

When a disabled person says that they can’t do something, we don’t mean that we just don’t want to. We also don’t mean maybe. We mean that we physically cannot do it or that we could, but it could really harm us. We have to pay consequences. You don’t.
