Humanity is doomed because it's stupid

kn95s are great for pollen but unfortunately wearing one might make you look like you care about protecting disabled people and i know we simply cannot have that

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

If someone is going to get queer bashed if they show up as their full selves in public. If someone is going to get COVID (and become futher disabled) if they show up in public. I mean-- what is it that you expect THEM to do? Maybe YOU are the one who needs to do something to make things accessible.

For March, Taking Alice Wong’s Advice in this Capitalist Hellscape will be our focus, with an invitation to reflect on how this can inspire our Collective Liberation, so I hope you will consider joining us then!🫂 Here is the registration link: accesslovemarch.eventbrite.ca Please share widely! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Rates of death and disability from any virus are irrelevant if they are preventable. Any debate about percentages that does not first accept the need to prevent are just debates about how many people to allow to die and suffer so existing societal norms can remain mostly undisturbed.

You may think mono is just a thing you get in college but oh hey guess what it can reactivate decades later and cause MECFS

“I realized then that people understand a ‘personal responsibility’ approach to Covid is bullshit. Because when you suggest they take personal responsibility for causing harm to others, they can’t handle it.”

This is what it really comes down to. Masks are a reminder the pandemic isn’t over. 🔹COVID is airborne 🔹Each infection carries cumulative risk 🔹Long COVID has no cure 🔹The pandemic isn’t over 🔹Wearing a mask is still one of the best ways to protect yourself and others Stay informed. Stay safe.

I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity

OK where I'm losing my mind, is this part. Those of us in the covid cautious community are often called anti-vax for the assertion that the vaccine does not eliminate transmission. Not saying it doesn't HELP, but it's imperfect. Have you been vaccinated? Have you had covid since? SO ARE WE WRONG?!

I highly recommend anyone who's chronically ill or helps take care of someone who is to read this. Changed my life for the better - a necessary & beneficial paradigm shift I want to popularize. It's about abled arrogance & the realities of chronic illness. ischemgeek.wordpress.com/2015/06/02/r...

When I asked about getting air filtering for hospitals someone informed me that ALL hospitals are filtered. Really? Why are so many still having outbreaks then? Why do I have to tell HCW that I won’t be more comfortable if I take my mask off during a procedure? #immuneCompromised

HCW who infect ppl like this ARE criminals

It's making me really angry that people would ever doubt long COVID. My life is ruined compared to just before my last infection. Illness, debt, relationships even.

I feel like one of the most critical understanding gaps is this: Energy equals time. If you don't have energy, you don't have hours in your day. Most people can't imagine fitting all their ADL, let alone a half-hour of comfort tv, in a single-hour day.

I also think it's good acute deaths from Covid have decreased. Yay vaccines making acute cases less severe. But quality of life turning to shit also hugely negatively impacts folks.

There's been discourse on Long Covid on this site the past few days. I think some people are thoroughly underestimating how hellish chronic illness can make you feel, even if you aren't at an immediate risk of dying.

People do die of Long Covid. People also kill themselves because symptoms are unbearable, which is true across chronic illnesses.

Disability Studies is an important space for me, but I cannot get over the fact that people in this field will not acknowledge that long COVID exists or that theyre complicit in "back to normal" no precautions needed bullshit. 1/2

Side eyeing everyone who refuses to taje precautions while profiting off of disabled narratives or disabled data. Materially benefitting from research ON disabled people, while also disabling your research subjects (and others), is an abject refusal to shift from theory to praxis. 2/2

Shared this quote from the depths of cognitive fog so I’m relieved to be able to say I stand by it 🙃 The harm ignorant therapists/psychs cause to clients with Long Covid can be just as enormous as the harm MDs inflict. (APAB until proven otherwise!)

Like I know it must be incredibly exhausting for some of you to keep reading our bullshit, asking anyone to care or wear masks or even care that we disappeared from your spaces because we had to choose to protect ourselves, but what are we supposed to do? And you wonder how we got *here* 🤷‍♂️🫠

<stares in six years of endless isolation as a member of the "should have died already" class of humans>

Why do they always emphasize hand hygiene if clean air is so important? Because the air is their responsibility, and your hands are yours.

A reminder that physical assault is not a solution and. Considering how many morons own firearms is a very unwise thing to do in this country...

There is so much anger in me for the "let it rip," "we don't need to mask/you don't need to mask" "All schools and universities must be in person" people, I think its possibly unhealthy for me Archived link here, thanks to @jacky.wtf for sharing archive.ph/qBbZJ#select...

If you actively participate in spreading harm in any form or function you do not deserve respect..

I think most people are complete morons. You lack the education AND experience to make an informed decision about SO much in the world... Your stupidity is rather depressing

Since we’re all about disability accommodations today why not wear your care on your face in the form of a K/N95 respirator!

I invite anyone in disability advocacy to listen to Black voices right now. Because there's the right way to approach discussion, and the wrong way. And the last thing *anyone* should do is tell someone that the hurt and pain that they are feeling is misplaced or invalid.

THIS For the last 6 years Humanity you fail the ultimate test of empathy and you should be ashamed

It's the latter kind of bravery we most need -- the kind that prevents horrors from happening in the first place. The kind that doesn't get you parades, it gets you sneers & snide remarks. The kind that's dreary & unrewarding.

I vividly remember when one of my twitter mutuals told me in 2021 when I still couldn't walk up the stairs from COVID, "I don't care. I'm done wearing a mask. I've suffered in that thing long enough. There is a vaccine now. If your immune system sucks, that's not my problem. I don't give a fuck."

I know many people who should know (and act) better but still don’t, partially out of selfishness but surely partially because people in leadership positions told them that it was fine.

Yup . I agree 90% of you out there are a part of the problem not the solution and you are my enemy because you want me dead by the actions you do every day.

According to the internet Hobbies should not be accessible

Also, you can have a PhD in immunology or biology & still lack grounding in sociology or disability justice praxis. This is where having humility & learning from others with lived experience & more knowledge in these areas is important

I feel this so strongly. Covid was a test of our moral integrity & decency -- *not just elites, but all of us* -- and we failed. I genuinely think one reason Covid has been memory-holed so hard, & so crusted w/ myths & conspiracy theories, is that on some level we know this & are ashamed.

1 in 10000 . Thank you for fighting the good fight and doing no harm

Hot take those who don't think disgraphia exists should lose their fingers in a goddamn wood ch

If you post ableist beliefs / comments you are a dick...

Humanity. you got exactly what you deserved You abandoned people and look what happened.

OK, if physicians have nothing to say about air quality they will have nothing to say when engineers and occupational safety people impose scientifically justified legal standards to regulate it, including continuous-wear N95s for everyone in all health care settings except for patients as required.

"Please keep priority seating available for riders with disabilities. Remember: not all disabilities are visible" is the announcement I just heard on the Light Rail in Seattle. I have never heard that second sentence before, hooray for progress, wherever we can find it.
