Chronically Illing Out | E31 - Mother's Day Monday

Chronic Illness In Review

The Monday after Mother’s Day begins with a head cold, a missing co-host, and a discussion on grief. Beth is out sick — appropriately, on a show about chronic illness — so Nick Paro, Soso, and Stephanie Wilson, PhD, hold the morning between them. The heart of today’s show is all about the chronically ill body keeping track of loss whether the dishes are done or not, and it’s important to say that out loud. Mother’s Day gives us the conversation opener into some unexpected tangents where we talk surveillance capitalism, isolation within the disibility community, and a case for community-owned infrastructure — all of it tracked back, eventually, to who gets counted as fully human.
