2026 State of the Body

I often don't have the energy to sit and discuss the progression, next steps, and current concerns of my health with people, even if those people are well-meaning, concerned, or wanting to help. Because of various factors & symptoms, it's also difficult to remember or keep track of who I spoke to about what developments & when.

I've also always considered myself someone who uses my own experiences as information, advocacy, and a catalyst for change. In that spirit, I've decided to set down some things to (fake) paper so I can do the digital equivalent of handing people this business card when they ask, "Hey Crash, what's wrong with you...?" no matter what the tone is behind that question.

If you're curious, you can read more about my disabilities, unexplained symptoms, and projected next steps for 2026 here. This is by no means exhaustive (I reserve the right to some privacy!) but I try to be transparent. I learned about disability, access, and intersectionality reading peoples' blogs online; I see no reason not to continue that free flow of information for others.
