“These things always feel like the end of the world when they're happening. But they're not. Social media is such a tiny, insular space. Once you close your screen, no one gives a fuck.”
R.F. Kuang, Yellowface

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“The most upsetting thing about Society’s attitude towards disabled people is that many millions of disabled people became disabled while trying to please Society, the very same bitch that secretly regards them as subhuman.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana, The Use and Misuse of Children
