We’ve been here before. People were locked away for decades—out of sight, out of mind—just for being #disabled, poor, or in crisis.
We’re not going back.

Today I read Show Me A Sign by Ann Clare LeZotte 🥰 I really enjoyed it; stories with more introspection than action-based plot are my bread and butter. Definitely a favourite read of this year! And thus it joins the ranks on my #DisabilityBelongs bingo board for 2024.
Have you read it? #booksky
