Living with chronic illness and feeling an obligation to minimize my chronically ill child’s exposure to COVID-19 means that there are many things I don’t feel like I can do right now.

I may not be well enough (or able to take the risk) of joining a local protest but I sure as hell can refuse to be silent. I can refuse to be complicit.

What I choose to post, what I write, may NOT make you comfortable. It is NOT my job to make you comfortable. My responsibility is to be true to who I am and my most deeply held beliefs.
