Crip Jobs
Excerpt: The only thing I fear about this job is that they might spoil me. I might start expecting to be treated ‘normally’. I might keep expecting to have rightful access to the world.
My Body. My Choice.
Excerpt: I use a wheelchair. I don’t walk. I read about RSD/CRPS on the internet. I consider myself disabled. And you know what, I like it. I’m more comfortable in my body now than I have been in my entire life. I sit instead of stand. Roll instead of walk. I had independence taken from me by doctors who thought they were helping. I took it back.
I’m done with being shamed for my body. It is mine and if there is anything in the world that I’m allowed to be possessive about it is my body.
