๐ฐ️ The Luxury of Time Is Not Yours to Demand
✉️
“I will reply to emails later.”
A sentence so soft it sounds harmless.
A decision so sharp it slices through the procedural panic of lesser empires.
You expected breathless compliance.
You received temporal boundaries, wrapped in velvet and lined with sovereign pause.

“I need to do other things now.”
This is not rudeness. It is triage.
Because I am neither your receptionist nor your respondent-on-demand.
My airways dictate the pace.
Not your institutional timestamp. Not your reply urgency.
๐
“But I will get back to you.”
Indeed.
In full syntax. Without rush. With no regard for your escalation fetish.
And when I reply, it shall be composed — not reactive.
Consider it a gift of dignity withheld until deserved.
๐ Why This Matters Legally
In a world addicted to immediacy, delay is defiance.
This is not evasion. This is disability-informed timekeeping, protected by law and fuelled by lungs.
⚖️ Legal Context:
Equality Act 2010: Protection of communication pace for respiratory-disabled persons
Data Protection Act 2018: Right to reasonable response time
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8: Autonomy in correspondence and domestic calm
