My heart is so heavy ⦠I lost a friend and mentor yesterday and the disability community lost a leader. The incomparable Alice Wong passed away. She inspired me to find my voice. She encouraged me to take up space and embrace my disabled body.

Maligning basic, safe OTC medications that most people have to resort to, like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, is part of a larger scam to blame people for their health problems (or their children's health needs or problems), so that the administration can claim people don't deserve care or support.

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off. Why? It was hurting their profits. They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown⦠so the Dems caved. Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy. Profit over people.

Masking indoors in public spaces boils down to this for me now: I love never being sick from airborne infectious diseases. The last cold I had was in early 2019, with not even a sniffle since. The only thing I don't do is dine indoors in public spaces; a good trade for health.

The āwhat should poor people be allowed to eatā debate is infuriating. The answer is simple. They should be allowed to eat anything. Itās no oneās business. Ideally we would agree that food is a basic human right & it would be plentiful for all. Until then, stop judging. Fed is best.

Considering the vast amount of evidence that Covid can cause serious long-term health problems, mitigating risk of infection is absolutely logical. This should be utterly uncontroversial. But alas, politics, tribalism, and a desire to conform trump logic for most people. Not me.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

even the smartest folks whose takes i otherwise appreciate, who otherwise want to resist fascism themselves & encourage others to, find wearing a mask in, at least, public indoor spacesāto prevent the harms of this administration from impacting othersāto be a bridge too far; itās shameful, frankly.

The worst is organizations that think it's more inclusive & liberatory to "respect everyone's personal choice" about masking than to NOT tell the Disabled that we're unwanted & unwelcome by not requiring them. They wouldn't respect my choice to light up a cigar because it's harmful to others. š¤Ø

1. We haven't come out the other end of Covid 2. I've never called for everyone masking every time they leave the house. I've called for more allies to mask in essential public spaces in solidarity with long COVID sufferers 3. Masks are *not* just for those who are sick

(things said by people who have not undertaken a rational assessment of the threat environment since 2021) I wish liberal covid deniers would actually engage with the piles of evidence on the continued danger of covid, rather than deeming everyone who has insane.

A rational assessment of the threat environment for COVID would entail monitoring it properly - including not fudging death statistics, informing the public of the dangers of Long COVID, air filtration in all public buildings and mandatory masking in hospitals.
