As someone who appreciates a good metaphor, I have no idea why spoons help elucidate anything about this. I've never met anyone with infinite spoons. I don't understand why someone needs more than a couple of spoons anyway; can't you just wash or reuse them?

Why spoons, which are not depletable and certainly not a daily renewable resource, why not use something like sunlight? "Normal people have sunny weather every day; chronically ill always have cloudy days, with a few holes where sunlight briefly breaks through."

What exactly does that article have to do with intersectionality? I don’t think you’re making the point you’re trying to make by just throwing that term around

It has everything to do with it. Privilege assessed according to permutations and combinations of circumstances of abilities and disabilities

What a bunch of drivel. The "spoon metaphor" isn't a theory. It seems designed to be relatable to people, but doesn't actually help anyone. Only reminds them of how much worse they are somehow. How talking about spoons helps if just telling peers your shortcomings fails?
