don't expect me to go gracefully

Most days, I try not to resent people are aren't disabled or chronically ill. Today is not going to be one of those days.

100% of the push to re-open schools is being driven by people with zero lived experience of chronic illness or disability. And I'm becoming a petty shit who wants them to experience it.

I'm with you on this but for some reason I suspect that (unfortunately) many of the people who will end up ill/disabled/dead aren't the assholes. Assholes seem to be immortal or something ARGHH

Have you read Gabor Mate's When the Body Says No? He would normally verge on too woo for me except that I think he's correct. One of his assertions in that is being an asshole basically protects you from certain types of harm.
