This morning I meet with my unemployment minder, the person who decides if I’m doing enough to get the money I’ve paid into the system.

This isn’t built for people with #ADHD who may hyperfocus for a week, apply for four jobs, rebuild their portfolios etc — and then need a week to let their brain squirrels run elsewhere to recharge.

Oh, joy. I was told that saying I was a caregiver for my chronically ill girlfriend could mean that I wasn't available for work or to look for work.

Seriously? I cared for her the whole time I had a damn job.

Fuck. This. #Ableist. System.

@colorblindcowboy Liking out of solidarity. The news cycle has really worn me down this afternoon. We are chronically lacking in empathy in this culture.
