I'm lucky to be alive. I have learning disabilities and physical handicaps. It's obvious I struggle. And a lot of people in my community don't like that.

These bullies are Christian Nationalists, Catholics, the KKK and other similar types among names you are likely familiar with.

They don't solve right wing crimes in my town; it's encouraged.

Edit:

What I am trying to get at in the post above is that as a disabled person, I am often referred to as a f##### and re####. I am feeling less safe every day because of changes in the world. I know my history.

I am a degenerate in the eyes of Nazis. That's a big fucking problem for me and others like myself.

And I'm scared. But more angry than anything. Betrayed.

I am grateful I have a good job that I can do. But my health is getting worse and I need major surgery to prevent further bone loss. I don't even know if there is a medical operation for what's going on with me?

I was so close to the edge, I could see into the abyss below. That is where I was until recently. When I got this good job. Just need to hold on for a couple of years, save money.

There are no friends in my life. There is no family or concerned relatives. I am on my own.

But I know I can do this. I've performed miracles for myself (when it really mattered) many times. "Keep going, stay smart and everything will work out."
