People with disabilities are repeatedly put in positions where persistence requires self-harm.

The legacy of neglect: responsibility without protection....

Needs don't become illegitimate just because support structures cracked...

Being inconvenient is not the same as being wrong or unethical. Institutions punish inconvenience. They don't punish correctness unless it threatens authority.

What gets labeled as "social decay" is usually framed as coming from below: moral decline, cultural conflict, loss of values, and unruly groups. If you trace causality instead of blame, a different picture shows up.

Marginalized groups often function as early warning systems. Suppressing them just isn't about them, it's about preventing models of collective resistance from generalizing.

ODSP: Fuck you! Here’s $1,308 a month, good luck surviving
PCP: Fuck you! That sounds like a psychiatric issue

When you've been down so long and your system has been pushed past it's limits that crying isn't even an emotion anymore...it's exhaustion leaking out of your body...

I’ve spent years being the system’s ‘canary,’ falling through gaps until engaging became a trauma trigger. I’m AuADHD and this space is my outlet and a way to speak about barriers that harm the people systems should protect.
