https://bigthink.com/neuropsych/law-reversed-effort/ I have been feeling some kind of way the last few days, ever since I read a thing about what's called handicapitalism, which said that mental illness and disabilities haven't been destigmatized, just monetized. That we get sold a lot of products and things to "fix us", but still run into stigma and taboos talking about even basic access needs for things like psychosis, type 2 diabetes, or borderline personality disorder. And like, in my life I have bought (and bought into) so many different products and ways of thinking, chasing a cure for the ills of society that the neurodivergent, disabled, and mentally ill are made to bear. It's fucked up. I am fucked up about it. So I might take a while to just be for a while after Ghost and I get more stuff worked on. BC I've got some thinking to do.

Wuwei has been a godsend for us. Thanks for that link. 🙏

I get how fucked up things can be — capitalist exploitation of feelings of guilt on our [Disabled people's] part that we ought to be "productive citizens" to justify our existence. I felt the same way for decades till we encountered the Disability Justice movement and had it affirmed again and again that we are enough just as we are.

Welcome welcome! I didn’t know anyone in the Disability Justice movement until I followed Bat’s tumblr, so only slightly before becoming chronically ill myself. Thank fuck for them though, that was a rough enough transition as it was, and it could have been a whole lot worse.
