Chronic Illness In Review
This week’s Chronically Illing Out lands on an uncomfortable truth: the disability community is fracturing itself from the inside. Nick Paro opens by naming the divisions playing out on Substack right now — people attacking each other, misrepresenting each other — and frames the whole hour around a single question: how do we bridge the gaps within our own ranks before we lose the ability to fight anything else? Guest Nieta Greene, CEO and founder of Disability Community for Democracy, arrives with the credentials to push the conversation past venting and into accountability. What follows is less a debate than a shared diagnosis, delivered by a panel — Beth Cruz, Soso, and Doc Steph alongside Nick — who all live the conditions they discuss.
