       I was in a great mood this morning — fast-walked to the trainwith my guide dog, loving the teamwork appreciating the birds. Dressed up and confident as hell. Then we step onto this subway car and some absolute zombie of a sighted person wordlessly grabs me around the bare elbow so hard that I feel fingernails. This is not how you offer a seat, folks. This is how you replace somebody’s good vibes with a fight-or-flight response: thoughts scattered, heart racing, body tense as a bow. Can we not?

       @ChanceyFleet The terror.  I have a visceral reaction when touched by a stranger I can see!  Thanks for sharing.
