This disability pride month, let’s talk more about the fact that even invisibly disabled people cannot work full time jobs. Let’s talk about how job hunting is a fucking nightmare, how people expect us to be able to work if we’re able to stand at all, how we’re told we’re not qualified for jobs that would be lighter on us physically but the part-time retail position down the road would “love” to have you until you have that job and you’re calling out more than once a month. Let’s talk about how remote work isn’t always an option, how difficult it even is to find remote work, how classist remote work tends to be. When I say “give disabled people enough money to live, zero required qualifiers, zero questions asked,” I mean it. Yes, even they can “technically” work. Capitalism has poisoned society into treating its members like cogs in a machine, and if one isn’t spinning, the immediate reaction is to throw it out.
