I don’t like to be indirect. So I’m telling you that I have active cancer and the health care workers refuse to mask. So for the fourth time in a cow I have come home SICK from CHEMOTHERAPY. You can’t tell by looking who is sick. It feels like I’m paying them to kill me. Please wear a mask.

Friends, please remember that 18 U.S.C. § 879 makes it a federal crime to threaten to inflict bodily harm on a former president of the united states. Nothing you want to post right now is worth the criminal exposure.

I am looking for plus-size, knee-high compression socks. Specifically in neons, but also in fun, bright patterns. Bonus if you can say the socks do not feel awful in your feet. Double bonus for small businesses within the disability community. #NEISVoid #Disability

None of those dudes use walkers. But disabled people do. Maybe we should think more carefully about how we represent disability technologies, esp when framed as the only image next to the words "No way to run a country."

Hello, disability community hive mind. My elderly dad recently lost his hearing pretty rapidly along with getting a lot of brain fog. I need tips on ways to try to accommodate him that are very simple to use. They can afford the Crip Tax if needed for easier tools.

The thing is, the disabled are a population of enraged people. The disabled are carrying a deep rage because not only is ableism embedded in nearly everything in our world, but people without our vulnerabilities are hostile to making anything better for us. Also society does not accept our rage.

Sit with this. Then restart anyway. We’re seeing a summer surge. If you’ve restarted let folks know—here and elsewhere. Let them know it is NEVER too late to start caring about people in an ongoing disaster. Be the cavalry as the front lines fall, not the quislings. We are fighting for our lives.

I also think another part is that people tend to believe they are "good people" who "do what is right" so I think a lot of people are struggling to start masking again because it would mean they have made decisions that probably killed someone in the last 4 years for their own temporary comfort.

Literally the only time I got COVID was outdoors. All it took was a few unmasked minutes to eat chili at a farm with less than a dozen people around. It breaks my heart that so many people are being misled to believe outside = safe. It isn't, and reinfections come with increased health risks too. 😷

You can get covid outside though (ask me how I know). And crowds are especially great at spreading it. So banning masks at protests is effectively asking people to choose between engaging in protected speech or getting covid.

“Immunocompromised people shouldn’t be gathering in large groups anyway” is making me cry today, man. They’re saying the quiet part out loud and the only people I see really making noise about this are those of us who will be completely shut out of public life if these bans go through

I'm heartbroken most days but there's so much to do; I want to hope people will move in solidarity. I hope people start masking again. Even if you feel weird, even if you begin imperfectly, even if you don't "feel" you need to. If you stopped masking you can always start again. Please please do.

A lot of disabled people can only exist socially online. That's missing in the lot of "touch grass discourse." Disabled people are often living physically limited from leaving their homes, & also commonly in social exile & abandonment that means the internet is the human community sustaining them.
