I hear you. I’ve had diabetes for twenty-eight years. I do all the rituals. It is a contract. What gets me is the economic side of it. We should not be devalued by the heavy costs involved in caring for the disease. Medicine is hypocritical of us. Do this, do that, and pay for it (otherwise you’re not worthy). They have words like test and value systems such as good or bad. I don’t like its morality system. I’ve been doing guerilla art postings in the city. Sometimes I go in hospitals and take fabric prints that I drape over the existing art. Yes, I have aspirations of being Banksy. But all these activities make me feel better and I would rather have subversive art than art that paints a serene picture.
