leave him to his black holes, bitch!

Is it me, or do I sense a slight tone of anti-intellectualism from the so-called disability bitch here?? She rants about hawking, it seems to me, for being focussed on his physics and not his disability. She writes to him: ” You have been so busy trying to unlock the mysteries of the universe that you have yet to devise a quick formula for filling in DWP application forms with minimum effort and maximum reward, or working out how we can all get into RADAR-locked loos with nothing but the power of our minds, or the precise tone of voice we should use to get Normies to relinquish priority seats when we get on a crowded bus.” So? Why do we as disabled people need to focus on our disabilities? The last time I did that I got bitter, so I focus on my interests in film and the arts. Before, I was first and foremost a cripple; today I am first and foremost a student who happens to also be a cripple. I say let the professor look into black holes. Personally, I find it much healthier than thinking ‘woe is me.”
