      Which is why the very idea of “unskilled labour” is ableist.

      I had to work with an occupational therapist for 2 weeks to learn how to wash my dishes at home without having injuries or breaking my dishes. I could not have walked into a job as a fry cook just because it’s entry level and “unskilled”. I’d need to learn some skills first.

      There’s no such thing as unskilled labour for me personally, because any labour requires skill when your body or mind is disabled.
