“

I think that what I’m finding hope in is that of a community that has, as I said, always expected to your gratitude for crumbs and the bare minimum compliance that we still have each other and that disabled people are still finding ways to come together to experience joy and respite and that we are checking in on each other in ways that I wish that we didn’t have to. That is the whole burden of systemic oppression that we shouldn’t have to fight for crumbs.”
