“Do more than:Stop self-destructing. Save each other. Not have a nervous breakdown or six by twenty five. Decolonize our minds, our hair, our hearts. Transform into the phoenixes we were all meant to be.”

“Mainstream ideas of 鈥渉ealing鈥 deeply believe in ableist ideas that you鈥檙e either sick or well, fixed or broken, and that nobody would want to be in a disabled or sick or mad bodymind. Unsurprisingly and unfortunately, these ableist ideas often carry over into healing spaces that call themselves 鈥渁lternative鈥 or 鈥渓iberatory.鈥 The healing may be acupuncture and herbs, not pills and surgery, but assumptions in both places abound that disabled and sick folks are sad people longing to be 鈥渘ormal,鈥 that cure is always the goal, and that disabled people are objects who have no knowledge of our bodies. And deep in both the medical-industrial complex and 鈥渁lternative鈥 forms of healing that have not confronted their ableism is the idea that disabled people can鈥檛 be healers.”
