Do not let them fuck with the ADA.

Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite

I hate that I'm having interpersonal drama during the slow, steady end of the world. But if course, as a disabled person, I have to fight with insurance and panic about every penny.

I walk around with a held breath, wanting to scream, but keeping my mouth shut because everyone else I know is too.
