Everyone believes disability will never happen to them. They will be the exception.

They tell themselves disabled people are faking, not trying hard enough or don’t really want to get better.

They will twist themselves into knots to avoid facing the reality that most people will become disabled at some point in their lives.

Engaging in disability justice helps people like me, but it will also help your future self.

It’s time.

Plus they will tell you. I literally had to endure this drive-by insult by a "friend".

"Yeah, this couldn't happen to me because of my character, but I wish you the best."

@snarkweek @devorars @broadwaybabyto wow that's a dumb comment. unless your friend plans to die very young as with age a possibility to develop a chronic condition is getting more likely regardless of one's character.

@peakfriktion @snarkweek @devorars @broadwaybabyto "my defining character traits are 'YOLO,' 'live fast and die young,' and 'i'm here for a good time, not a long time,' so i won't be around to see myself become disabled!" Lmao
