Getting out of bed with the expectation to be 'productive' these days is even harder. This lithograph, illustrated by the iconic Disabled artist Toulouse-Lautrec, is of a woman cozied up in bed under ruffled sheets with her head half-buried in the pillows, peering at us with her right eye glinting sleepily, and her left hand resting softly on a pillow. It made me feel less alone.⁣ ⁣ I am offering this post in recognition of those who are still in bed, don’t want to leave bed, can’t leave bed. For those who feel as 'drab green' as the ink used for printing this artwork, for those who have felt this way long before this pandemic, and will again in the future. Your feelings are valid. Rest is important material.⁣ ⁣ I’m writing this especially to and for my sick, chronically ill, Disabled friends and communities, who like myself might be dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, and depressive feelings compounded by isolation at the moment making it hard to wake up, get out of bed.⁣ ⁣ You are not alone or forgotten. Take all the time you need, to wake up and get out of bed (or don’t). Stay cozy. Wear a mask. We are in this together."⁣ ⁣ 🎨 Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901). Waking Up, 1896. Lithograph printed in drab green on wove paper. #MetAccess #DisabilityArts #AccessIsLove #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs⁣」1月8日 5時56分
