From D.: “So many of us living with disability and chronic illness regularly get the message that we don’t belong among the living, so I’m going underground. But guess what? It’s cozy and full of life down here. I started this piece back in January with so much disabled rage, access anxiety, ableism fatigue (personal and collective), and when I first got in this big beautiful studio I just wanted to hide in a corner in the dark. Now, exploring subterranean realms feels expansive, energizing, freeing, supportive, and full of possibility. Movement happens differently under there. So does communication. And resistance. When I reemerge, I’m going to haunt the systems that want us dead, cornered, isolated, powerless. Join me in the dirt?”
