For @Rewire, I wrote about @marwilliamson and her attitudes towards disability and chronic illness. And yes, it is that bad. rewire.news/article/2019/08/…

As a Disabled Person, Marianne Williamson’s Ideas Terrify Me

As Marianne Williamson gains ground, disabled people are growing increasingly nervous over her language regarding health care.

Your perception of my beliefs is inaccurate. If I saw things the way you think I see them, I probably wouldn’t like me either. An actual reading of my books - not taking a sentence or two out of context in a way that can be used to ridicule me - reveals a very different picture.

I'm convinced all this hate and judgement has nothing to do with what keeps filling my feed (health concerns) but everything to do with your call for #Reparations

So what you're saying Marrianne is that you are an awful author & don't write what you mean? &that's suppose to be "better" in someway? ...might be best to drop the POTUS dreams &start focusing on applying to some colleges. You can learn how to write & about the medical field!

Ah, the universal rallying cry of gritters called on their bullshit: "OUT OF CONTEXT! OUT OF CONTEXT! OUT OF CONTEXT! BUY MY PRODUCT AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND!" Christ you lot get predictable.

You claim there is an epidemic of medicalisation, yet the average time to diagnosis for my disability is 10 years, and it's far from the only one. You play to the belief of many non-disabled ppl that disability is over-diagnosed. From the inside we know that isn't the case 1/2

The audacity to grift 'buy my book' when you could have addressed every point i.e. why it's inaccurate, what you do believe and address disabled concerns. Ridicule? Are effing serious to say that to a disabled person, we know ridicule! SMH. Bow out of the race. #CripTheVote

Girl we read your tweets and facebook posts. But while you're here, who is your dialect coach?

Williamson here says this because she knows few people will actually read the books. If you do, you'll see that Imani is correct in her assessment.

If the perception is inaccurate, then you should stop qualifying every single walkback you ever start to make in an attempt to keep convincing people of your original point.

Are you running for office or just selling books? #iNeedMyMedsMarianne because I have fought depression since I was a teenager.
Replying to @marwilliamson @Imani_Barbarin @rewire
Ms Williamson, I read your books. They did help me. They did. In the same way fortune cookies and Joel Osteen help me. However, you say "there's no such thing as sickness." I was born with bowed bones and six toes. I didn't manifest that onto my foot.
