Please, as someone who is disabled, don’t sit in my replies telling me Keir Starmer wasn’t all that bad when one of the first things he actioned as PM was an attack on disabled people and our benefits. He also perpetuated a campaign of hatred towards the disabled.
@singingsox The show must go on as a phrase makes me furious because actually no. Let people rest. Let people recover. Take precautions and don’t destroy people’s health for the sake of entertainment
The thing is that there’s a balance to it. There are ways to improve it. But they don’t.
@singingsox It fucking sucks. It took nearly four years for my uni singing team to stop pressuring me to take my mask off for performances but I am immensely proud to say I did my final concert fully masked because fuck risking my health for a concert. We make do I suppose.
People are making very good points about EDS and hypermobility.
I’d like to add to that that marginalised people are at higher risk of long covid which can lead to needing mobility aids.
@bandcampgremlin I went on a whole fucking rant to bf the other night about labelling robot characters as automatically ace/aro/nonbinary it pisses me offfffff
@QueerlyAutistic I applied January/February time last year and by the time they called I’d finished my job and was back to being a student…was fucking batshit
I hosted a masks required event a month ago and I keep thinking about how I included a reminder to bend the noseband but the way many many people fucked it up instead was wearing them upside down.
No because fuck you fucking daring to describe your venue as friendly for queer people and safe when you treat your disabled patrons like that. How fucking dare you.
Then again far too many self described political queers don’t care about us either soooo
