Comments

I've had a (mostly*) overwhelming response to my OMBH post, but one of the comments I have to share with you all. It absolutely floored me. I just had no idea that there were places in the world where people who had no knowledge of disability (ie no disabled family or friends) could think this way about it:

Whenever I see our neighbour's wheelchair-bound daughter across the street being ferried somewhere in a taxi I know is paid for by mine (and others') taxes, it makes me proud to be living in a somewhat decently civilized country.

That's from someone in Finland. And I'm still floored by the fact that it floored me. Surely that should be a normal response? How the fuck did we manage to mess up our society so badly that that seems so abnormal to me?





*Surprisingly, only two trolls. One that didn't even read my post! Replied with 'tl;dr, what's your problem? You're ill? With what?' - I wasn't entirely sure how to respond to that.

One Month Before Heartbreak

If you guys were wondering why I hadn't blogged about this yet - it's because you're wrong. I have done. Just not here.

I posted a ginormically long journal on dA about it, as I figured posting here would be nothing more than preaching to the choir.

Response has been pretty good so far. Y'see, none of the people over there had any idea about any of this, and are quite frankly appalled that this could be happening in civilised society. Many petition-signings going on! Yay!
