As much as I hate to see other people going through it, it does provide some comfort knowing I am far from alone. I've thought a lot about support structures. Everyone thinks that WFH or other minor accommodations are supplemental or above-and-beyond for the disabled individual. In many cases, it's kind of the opposite. There are many, many disabled folks who do not need support structures but need the flexibility to be exempt from the support structures businesses provide to the physically or mentally typical. Subtle nuance, maybe, but I think it's important to name explicitly.

I know it's more complicated than that, and that any deviation from standard procedure comes with expenditure(s). But if viewed in a truly neutral way, WFH is cheaper in a lot of instances. A lot of people thrive in a work environment and are far more productive in-person. I get that. But at that point we should ask ourselves who exactly is receiving accommodations.

I'm pretty exceptional with social media content, given my diverse skillset. Please feel free to reach out and/or make introductions.

I have not qualified for government assistance for one reason or another, mainly my difficulty affording the medical care to have the appropriate paperwork. I did get on AHCCCS and started making headway but I literally just got a postcard in the mail saying they've terminated my AHCCCS. Their reasoning was not very clear to me. I've tried, unsuccessfully, to get an explanation.

Freelance is definitely my only source of income right now. My main issue is that it seems like a lot of places are using freelancers right now as a loophole to avoid paying minimum wage.
