I want to take a moment to talk to you about the frustration and what it’s like to not be able bang out things that are inside your head because you have to wait for a typist. #DisCo #DisabilityTwitter

First of all nobody believes I’m actually the one writing because I need the typist so they assume oh she has brain damage the typist is the one actually writing

The next one thing it’s because of how fast the media cycle moves if I need extra time or what we call an accommodation it’s too late for cycle has passed and my staff is irrelevant

Then there’s the bonus of the fact that if I’m writing a piece for say the daily beast or refinery 29 I pay my typist more than I actually make

And if I have an amazing idea from my movie in the middle of the night I can’t pull an all night or and just put it in I have to wait which used to be OK before people need it instant gratification at all times

But in the end I am blessed and privileged to be able to afford a typist so even though people who demand labor from me tend to dismiss me because of it I’m still slaying #al7amdillah

Oh and if you’re like Well you’re tweeting that’s you typing why can you tweet but not write a statement for example umm do you see how many typos this thread has

The end
