“You’re not fun anymore”
This was one of the last things a friend said to me before ghosting me over my disabilities & covid caution.
My wearing a mask? Not fun
My being bedbound? Not fun
My inability to travel? Not fun
She then said “I don’t know how you can live this way”
Almost everyone with chronic illness experiences this at some point.
Many ableds want us to hide our disabilities.
They want us to be the same as we were before because it makes things more comfortable for them.
If we show them the depths of our suffering?
They can’t cope.
They see us as better off dead.
Let me be perfectly clear… we live this way because we have no choice.
No one taps you on the shoulder and asks if you’re ok with becoming disabled.
No one gets your consent before stripping you of your health and leaving you bed bound.
It just happens. It can occur in the blink of an eye, and there’s not a damn thing we can do about it.
We can’t just go to the doctor and demand to be “fixed”.
We have to adapt. We have to grieve. We have to learn to accept our new life and find ways to cope.
Is it fun? Of course not.
Is it necessary? Yes.
Does it mean we aren’t fun anymore? No.
We’re still the same people we were before we became ill, our bodies just don’t function the way they used to.
We still experience joy and sadness. We still crave human connection.
People who decide we aren’t “fun anymore” are missing out on all the joy and friendship we have to offer.
They’re also denying the reality of the human condition:
Disability happens to almost everyone eventually.
It’s a minority group you can join at any time.
Chronic illness isn’t “fun”. I’m not going to lie and say otherwise.
It’s a difficult life filled with pain, sadness and a lot of disappointment.
But there can also be so much joy, and my former friend’s inability to see that is a poor reflection on her, not me.
We must stop treating people like commodities.
We must stop acting like their value is tied up in what they can produce or their physical ability.
We all have value.
We all have worth.
We all have things that light us up.
I was angry at this person for a long time.
I did so much for them over the years and then got tossed aside like garbage when I was no longer useful.
I’m trying to let the anger go.
I’m trying to remind myself that anyone who can’t love me as I am isn’t worth my time.
It’s not easy.
The pain we experience when people abandon us is real and adds insult to very real injury.
But I promise you there are better days ahead.
There are people who will stick by you no matter what.
People who won’t make you hide your pain and suffering.
There are people who will show up for you and accept you as you are.
Who will wear a mask, hold your hand in the hospital or visit you when you’re laying in bed.
Cherish those people. Nurture those relationships. Make sure they know how much it means to you.
If you’ve read this far and have a disabled person in your life, please reach out to them.
Say hi. Ask how they are. Offer to visit or provide some help. Show up for them.
Never underestimate the power of a small act of kindness, and refuse to leave people behind.

RE: https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/116975653184963826
i truly believe people who let their kids get sick like this never wanted to have children in the first place. the #antivax movement is just one of the many faces of #eugenics and #fascism. letting kids get sick to prove their survivability and worthiness, should be considered a form of #childAbuse.
there are legitimate reasons to worry about allergic reactions. so get a pediatrician or family MD with the know-how to mitigate them. that’s what i did for my sons and myself.

The outbreaks have taken a steep #economic toll, as #state & #local #PublicHealth departments strained to track down everyone exposed to the #virus, start #vaccination campaigns & analyze tests. Researchers have estimated that in 2025, each #measles case cost the #US more than $100,000, when factoring in #HealthCare spending & the days of missed work for sick people or caretakers.

While many of the #children who became ill were vulnerable to the #virus because their parents opted them out of the #measles #vaccine, local health departments have also reported several cases in babies too young for the shot & people with #health conditions that make them ineligible for the vaccine [they contract the #disease by being exposed to the dummies refusing #vaccination].

Imagine if we just believed disabled people?
If we trusted that they were the experts in their bodies?
If we listened when they said they could do something, and supported them when they said they couldn’t.
If we gave accommodations and assistance without judgment?
That’s true inclusion.

Remember when the #FDA used to make sure drugs and medications were safe and effective?
That was cool.
#StochasticEugenics is still #eugenics

Yt people are ALL THE FUCKING SAME you think some fcked invisible line is going to save you?
Just less than a week ago uncontrolled #fires in so called #Canada were intoxicating the air as far south as so called Maryland in the so callee US
#Decolonizing and #AntiFacism isn't about your insipid #Nationalism
We #Indigenous people want #landback and ya'll just add to #eugenics that's killing Black and Brown people
We expect you to fucking wake up and stop sucking on colonializer teet n balls

I am listening to a podcast called Polytechs (politechs.dev) where the hosts interview Dr E. Bender (Computational Linguistics academic, podcaster and author) to talk about Rhetorical technology (all things #AI in this podcast) and besides the reasoned discussion about #GenAISlop and #LLMs in general, which I found most interesting, I was astounded by the amount of research that is available on AI, #GenAI and artificial general intelligence ( #AGI) wondering how is it that none of this material makes the light of day in our public forum discussion or any #NewsOutlets whatsoever. Made me realize how manipulated we all are to think that #GenAI — or as Dr Bender calls Text Extruding machines — is a revolutionary technology that will answer all of our questions.
Dr Bender also talks about the #Racism and #Eugenics that lies behind the historic antecedents of GenAI and the #TechBros push to sell it to us. The discussion also looked at the idea that GenAI #Hallucinates and proposed other words to better reflect what these machines actually produce (Hint: they certainly do not hallucinate).
I was also very receptive to Dr Bender’s #Definition of AI, she says that it is simply a #MarketingTerm and has nothing to do with #Intelligence (artificial or otherwise). I view #ChatGPT and the likes as stochastic word and part-word ordering machines using statistical engines to parsing large uncurated document repositories in a non-deterministic way.
Well worth a listen:
