My
last vestige of alliance with independent living modal structure, not that I’ve
proactively reached for it within the last year, comes mainly from three
Twitter accounts. One is Deborah Ruh, who pounds the pavement with traditional
empowerment events and accomplishments. I have no grievance with it, and even if
I did, community integration has been stuck in a wormhole since 1984. Disability
centers engage in the same static with vocational rehabilitation, and the
incorporation of Maximus as the elephant in the room is a rather obvious
admission of failure on the part of public welfare systems when it comes to
disability. This is not necessarily integral to the Commonwealth to which I am domicile. I have the public presser arm of Maximus on my Twitter feed, and
Jack would undoubtedly ban me if I engaged them with my variation of a
Tasmanian Devil body slam, but I am acute enough to know that Maximus news is
the front cover for the arduous processes of rationed genocide. Baring my fangs
at them, in essence, amounts to Mueller prosecuting Manafort in order to
justify his probe into Russia’s revamped existential threat. The second is Quad
Life, which is on radio silence, not an unknown let down in my neck of the
woods, and the third is Jason Dorwart, who told me to check out a theater
group, but has yet to inform me how I sample his publication on drama and
inclusion. I will qualify here that my open suggestion that “maybe” he and I
could meet for coffee if I headed to Virginia was purely for business
arrangements within traditional progressive academia. I was of course curious,
and scanned his CV, but I am not necessarily looking for a paraplegic within
age appropriate range. Thus far, Jason and I lag, whatever our potential,
because I am wallowing in my own fecal mucous, rather than ambulance chasing
art therapy. I also accepted Maria Dewan’s friend request on Facebook, but she
ended the connection after I tagged her in this post,
believing that The Aide Who Loved Me would have been torn away by now.

I do
not know Maria well, barely at all, but I am none the less rankled by her
inability to handle my expression of frustration with a sticky situation. I was merely utilizing an assessment for purposes of comparison, not condemning her through the observation, but the skittish tortoise retreated to its shell with its normative darting retraction in the face of assertion, and speaks to my dismay with activism's glass ceiling. Krauthammer and Hockenberry, regardless of their markers on the ideological spectrum, were ambulatory men who survived broken backs, and succeeded within the established media paradigm, something those strcken with developmental defects rarely do. I started to go to bed early, stressed with such quaking colon stresses as I've been, but the harried hare power napped within this rather offensive tilt technology appealing to her inner Luddite, gasping to a finish, still pushing
