Thank you for posting this Mariana-I’ve been sitting with what to offer in the weeks since you posted and I am struck by how bruising ableist capitalism is, and how those bruises are often hidden in plain sight by us choosing not to speak about it. Thank you for reminding us all of our inherent worth. Thank you for shedding light on these bruises.

Highly recommend the book “Health Communism” on this topic!! Written by the hosts of the amazing podcast “Death Panel.”
