I never got to the point where I wasn’t able to go to the bathroom by myself but I do relate to so much of her experience. I’m happy she’s doing better now and I’m happy that she’s had the resources to get better.
Thinking about all the people who did not have her resources with this illness makes me really scared. We’re mass murdering part of our population that could easily be saved if we divided our resources fairly.
I also frequently think about all the disabled people in Palestine, most of whom have been made disabled by Israeli airstrikes or drone attacks. The average living person in Gaza has been displaced almost 10 times now I think? How horrible that must be if you’re so disabled that you can barely walk. The people who keep these inequalities alive are so unimaginable cruel.
