So proud of my husband for showing bravery and vulnerability today by sharing his story. You're not alone, together we can stop abuse like this from ever happening. #ActiBlizzWalkout #ActivisionBlizzard

[Chad Engler @rolnaaba]

Since the #ActiBlizzWalkout 💙is today I've decided to share my story of being sexually harassed at Blizzard. I started on https://t.co/uGP0tifbcz ~8 years ago, and it was the most toxic job I'd ever had.

I've not shared this before publicly, and its hard, so bear with me.

11. I REALLY HOPE you see the error in your ways by making fun of people with chronic pain and illness like we don’t matter. Like we are somehow beneath everyone else, including you, @TheEllenShow

9. Because I still have over $100k in student loan debt for the masters degree that did me no good when my body fell apart. And I do everything I can think of to bring in income somehow, since I live in a state with no Medicaid and shit for health insurance options.@TheEllenShow

8. And ya know what @TheEllenShow ? I’m one of the lucky ones because I CAN fight back to win control of my body. But I’ve put myself in thousands upon thousands of dollars of debt with my rehab. Super close to declaring bankruptcy, but still I fight.

7. @TheEllenShow Serotonin Syndrome that almost killed me when a doctor mixed the wrong meds. She knew something was wrong before I did. And ya know, last year I couldn’t walk unassisted, but this year? I can sprint across a room.

3. @TheEllenShow I’m glad for you that you don’t know what it’s like to have migraines so bad that you have to take PREVENTATIVE medication to control them. I agree, I don’t want to JUST be a person who pops a lot of pills.

2. Is to be on the @TheEllenShow and talk about my autobiography, Skin in the Game: The Stories My Tattoos Tell. So, imagine my horror when I was so excited to see your new comedy special only to hear about the ableist comments made therein.
