I'm so glad it resonated. Thank you for reading.

This made my entire day! Always so grateful for all your support!

I can't either and the comments from people who don't believe me are wild! Thanks for reading. And it's an honor to share space with you in this issue!

Unpacking the trauma of chronic pain and everyday ableism is incredibly difficult. Many thanks to @sarahclark.bsky.social, Jess Silfa, and @anmlymag.bsky.social for publishing this micro about escaping the body and the cruelty of an ableist world.

A few years ago, I was sent to a hip specialist for an MRI referral. He said I was fine compared to the sports injuries he usually treated and denied it. Eventually I received the imaging and discovered I need a hip replacement. Thanks to Grist for publishing my revenge poem about medical sexism!
