To those who have reached out, left comments, or written, THANK YOU. It feels good to be seen.
Unfortunately for most of you, you value my words, my help, my spaces, and my time only when it suits you. Like others before who have used Jewish people for their wares, only to dump them on the side when things are hard or no longer convenient, you are no different.
The same goes for how many of you use autistic and other disabled people on this platform and in the wild. You will engage, follow, share, support, send us messages and join us in our spaces, using our labour for free. And we do it out of love and solidarity.
But the second you understand that our identity or nationality isn’t something you like (which is bigoted too btw) you drop us. Harass us.
Using disabled people and autistic people like utensils is ableist. Your solidarity was never solidarity. It was you using me for my labour.
Using my Israeli disabled labour was only convenient when you didn’t know about that first part. You know what that makes you? Fill in the blank
It’s truly amazing how many of you showed your true faces.
Showed your faces for being ableist, racist, antisemites, bigots, and worse.
LARPers. Orientalists. Whether you call me a murderous Israeli or a self-hating Jew, no matter what side of this you’re on, you’re a fraud.
I’m a human. I’m a Jewish human. I’m an Israeli human. I’m an #ActuallyAutistic human. And if you can’t remember my humanity, why do you think I owe you anything?
