ableism is literally so predicated on class, I would rather be upper class wealthy and disabled than abled and poor especially when a lot of blue collar jobs are. literally disabling in themselves anyway & im SO tired of disability spokespeople who are white and wealthy and have family with the time and resources to support them, and how it warps the conversation around disability to focus on the most minor issues while ignoring the fact that most low income disabled ppl aren't even having their most BASIC needs met

#the way everyone suddenly cares abt doctors w long covid #bc they're seen as respectable and responsible #meanwhile working class women w chronic illnesses get treated like hyperchondriac benefits scroungers #whose disability is self inflicted #and like many of the concerns of disabled ppl r about care and income and accessibility #80% of ableism goes away if ur wealthy 😭#medical issues to. where to start #but yeah remember the Lockheed Martin person... no comment #even to the fact that like the availability of disability friendly work is like directly proportional to ur class #like. im not saying ur experiences can't be tougj too but literally wheesht we've heard enough from u #and at least have some humility that medical care + income + employment + social care are like.#maybe due some more attention and maybe ur struggles are due a little less for a while.
