Election Results

I'm kinda grumpy from sleeping so much so don't take this to heart too much. Why are we all recognizing the rights of basically every minority group being stripped away but not the biggest minority group, which is disabled people? I'm not saying we shouldn't talk about other minority groups but don't forget us. Disabled people are already poor because a large amount can't work and it's hella expensive to be disabled. Some countries treat my disease like it's a mental illness so I can't go there because I will not get treatment I need. Disabled people cannot save up to leave and honestly there's no real safe place for us. And now things are going to get worse for us here. I'm not being mellow dramatic when I say society wants disabled and chronically ill people dead and out of the way. It's reality and it's about to get even worse here in the United States. I could lose my basic rights, my disability benefits, my medical care, my mobility aids, my life. We already don't have marriage equality as disabled people. And what makes things even worse is many of us are too ill to fight. A lot of you are saying that we should get firearm or self-defense training. How am I supposed to hit a Target if my coordination and eyesight is so bad? How am I supposed to remember how to use it when my memory is shot? How am I supposed to use any other kind of self-defense when I can barely roll over in bed? I'm at a point where I can't even adjust my own blankets because they're too heavy and it makes me sicker. I would have to hope I have the energy to at least like whack the person with my cane and speed off in my chair. I cannot fight. And neither can so many other disabled people. Signing petitions is even exhausting. Please protect your disabled friends along with your women, bipoc, lgbtqia+, etc friends. Don't forget us. We will need you.
