This is inclusiveness. This is community care.

Vulnerable people deserve to experience life, too.”

“Disabled people have compromised and sacrificed so much over the last 4 years. Every day it feels like another tool is taken away, accessibility further reduced & our agency stripped back. We are constantly told that we don’t deserve to survive. That we are acceptable losses.”

I failed my 2nd NYS Road Test. I got confused when the tester asked me to parallel park “beside a Lexus” because we don’t parallel park *beside* cars. Once I was confused, it was all downhill from there. Something is wrong with my brain, & apparently I can’t live in the world…

“How long are you going to wear a mask?”
“How long are you going to wear a mask?”

Excellent essay on wearing masks and why it is important:

“How long are you going to wear a mask?”

“We didn’t mask before Covid so we aren’t going to now!”

These are two of the most common refrains covid aware people hear. They suggest that the pandemic is over & that precautions no longer make sense.

They’re wrong 🧵 /1

Disabled people's exclusion from indoor spaces is a civil rights violation, not an annoyance
Disabled people's exclusion from indoor spaces is a civil rights violation, not an annoyance

“The severity and frequency of Long COVID is purposely obscured from public discussion as part of a continued political effort to normalize constant COVID exposure.

People who take precautions to avoid COVID are making the wise decision to protect themselves and their families; they are also safeguarding their ability to work and earn money in a society that disposes of people who cannot produce. It is a rational decision; in the case of Long COVID patients, it is a necessary one.

It is also, admittedly, a very difficult lifestyle to adopt and maintain.”

“…you made a choice that actively excludes people like me from participating not only in an event like a convention, but society at large. And yes, it is a choice. Every time you step out into the world without a mask on your face, you have made a decision that your very good reason, whatever it is, supersedes the right of disabled and at-risk people to exist safely in your orbit.”
