#actually chronically ill

[chronically-cai]

Saw someone posting art sexualising lobotomies, so I left a little comment like "hey cool art but can we not try to make ableist violence a cute edgy punchline pls and ty" and the AMOUNT of hate I got for that. I am generally very pro weird/kink/graphic art, especially in the era of AI, digital surveillance and modern purity culture, but trying to make lobotomies look cute/quirky/edgy is in poor taste at best. This whole uwu-ification of violence against disabled people just doesn't sit right with me I'm sorry. You're not cute or edgy, you're ignorant and ableist.

There should be desks in hospital waiting rooms

My eyes are on Marx;

My ears are on the door.

I pretend I'm in a classroom.

It's almost like a classroom.

Uncomfortable chairs sit in rows,

Seating people who probably would rather be anywhere else.

A book is balanced on my knees

As I do the work that the class has been set.

My book should be on a desk.

I should be in a classroom.

My book falls from my lap as I finish my sentence.

A line is through my page on disabilities and academic achievement.

Fitting.

Context below cut

I wrote this poem whilst sitting in the waiting room of a hospital, waiting for my 24hr ECG appointment. The appointment meant I had to miss my A level sociology class write in the run up to the exams.

I felt like shit because my health was getting in the way of my education and I felt like a coward for letting it, even though I couldn't help it and the tests did result in me getting my POTS diagnosis.

maybe brain fog isn't such a bad thing... for a blissful minute there i could not remember the name of the most popular generative ai platform and it felt like someone had reset me to factory settings
