Duracism: You Only Praise Me When I Suffer Quietly

DURACISM: You Only Praise Me When I Suffer Quietly names the pressure placed on chronically ill, disabled, and pained people to keep functioning, stay quiet, and prove their worth through endurance.

Through personal reflection, visual storytelling, and disability justice analysis, this Crip Notes edition explores how ableism, racism, performance culture, and internalized shame shape the way society responds to pain, rest, and care.
