Oh my gods, is it that ridiculous "Invisible Illness Awareness Week" again?
I'm too drained to say anything smart about it. I'll just repeat what other disabled friends have said: Advocate every day. Be aware every day. Just like every other "Thing Awareness Week."
I really do understand why many people really love "Thing Awareness Week" because it brings so much attention to a cause and it helps so many people understand and it helps all the people affected by Thing to be understood and treated like people and treated well.
But the point is to live Thing Awareness every day. Now that people know about Thing To Be Aware Of, they should keep doing it. I hope that is happening. There are many many Things to be aware of. I guess, then, that is why there are Thing Awareness Weeks to begin with. Because there are so many Things that people forget or discriminate or something.
I am disabled. I have Invisible illnesses. I also have Visible Illnesses. I am a cripple. Every single day. Hi.
I have more thoughts, but they are mostly whargarbl and shmoo and guh. I should let other people with more words speak.
I am so very tired. I need sleep now. Because of Thing.
Be Aware. That is the thing.
We are not going anywhere. We are still here. We only look hidden.
Be Aware.
