If you say I have special needs, I’ll assume you’re referring to my need for fresh-picked figs. I’m a Californian & this is non-negotiable. But if you’re not referring to figs, then just say the word: #disabled. Euphemisms only fuel ableism. #Disability is not a dirty word.

As a poet, I get to engage in and comment on culture creatively & uncover aspects for other people to see. I do a similar task as an anthropologist but in an academic frame where I put a lens on disability culture that can b explained more vividly to the wider public -@kut2smooth

"You can stare at me all you want. No cop will bust in my head and carry me away to an institution. .... Whatever you do, my roots are rigid like a hundred year old tree. I will stay right here to glare at your ugly face too." -Lateef @kut2smooth, from "Too Pretty for Ugly Laws"
