VIWE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE
“Given these symptoms, it is highly unlikely that the mother alone could have provided all the necessary care while also attending to her own needs. Therefore, for Tina to have survived for at least six years, the group must have continuously assisted the mother, either by relieving her in the care of the child, helping with her daily tasks, or both,” Conde-Valverde added."
This is what I did with my Friday; what started as a sort of reply to an assertion that a friend and I were "glamourisng disability" by talking about building generative (in)capacities. *Started* as that. Became something more.

"Delegates from the UK government faced the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) on Monday (18 March) over claims of “grave” and “systemic” violations of disabled people’s rights."
Spoilers: They're increasing hate speech and systemically killing people

Climate change is going to crip EVERYONE to some degree, regardless. That's the prophecy of Covid 19. There are stranger, harder and more beautiful, joyous and more terrible, ways to be, to BECOME, than 'abled or "death."
Rather be dead than disabled?
Sibling, kin, when all of life is disabled, what then?
Further to my last toot, so kindly boosted overnight, about leaning into the Dis:
My posting on shortform "social media" will always tend to be spastic (like me). Fits and starts because 1. I am chronically verbose. 2. Brain damaged, 3. Jealous of my energies (not envious) and as a crip, I need to direct them towards the processes and enhancing of Life #crip #disability #cripkult
Sleep dep kicks my arse but before I pass out, something I want to suggest off the back of a post of @Wolven about everyone eventually becoming disabled.
Disability is a more-than-human field. It exceeds the human. Human is not the baseline unit. It is not the default, but a form of ontological capture .
Lean into the Dis. #Disabiliy #crip #cripkult
Is 2023 the year I finally write the Replicant-as-Crip. Blade Runner/DADoES, PKD-Gnostic dis/ability allegory essay? It's been brewing for years, I should haul it out of the dark of my thought-cavern and see whether it's done.

Of course, that 'limited use' can be a kind of frictional refusal, which when handled property can really embrace the non-fungibility of the supposed subject. If everyone is not "useful' in the same way, then this can restructure things - indeed, studying our uselessness can be extraordinarily potent in setting terms of engagement against extractive power structures/entities. Crip-refusal is all about this.
