I've had many conversations this week in which it's been important to gently deflect well wishers from
"I hope you and yours have a restful weekend to recover"
to
"Recovery isn't a goal in my family. We're wishing for stability and agency"

A shoutout to @NataliaHodgins who's work I just learnt existed, and quote tweeted starting this thread.
Starting a conversation on main about disability; sailing that bow across the waves; all I can say is I would not have had the safety to say my piece on main without seeing it

Also, if the themes of this thread resonate with you;
Especially the sailing metaphors and carving across the grain of an inhospitable world in aid of yourself and others,
You will enjoy & find resonance in Victoria Goddard's "The Hands of the Emperor"

I reactivated my Netflix briefly so I could stream Nanette by Hannah Gadsby while reading her book “ten steps to nanette” (strong recommend, tho take care in reading)
So this thread was super useful to not get autoplayed garbage while I’m on my way to the dwindling queer content

The thing that really bakes my noodle along these lines is,
As an asthmatic person, I live my life today at sort of Alert Level 3 and a halfish - I've designed my 2022 so I can stay home.
This was being prudent, and "stay home, save lives" all the way up to December 2021.

We went from "alone together" to "If it makes you feel more comfortable, you can ask them to wear a face mask" as official guidance in a span of months.
And apparently having feelings about that is being excessively anxious?
I'd scream but I need the lung capacity.

Love having to send a message to my parents on "You know how I told you @radionz was a trusted source on transgender issues? Especially rnz.co.nz/programmes/let-s-b…. Yeah, don't listen to the interview they put on air this morning"
What. the. fuck. RNZ.

The only silver lining I can see, and the repair work I have done on, no, we can't trust that interview is it gave more opportunity to share "yeah, transgender exclusion masquerades as feminism" with my parents.
