It may seem shocking to hear stats like 7.5% of US population have #LongCovid, but I bring it up in conversation & will hear… “yeah, I get dizzy randomly while I’m up now” or “My vision has never been the same since” or “I can’t exercise like I did before.”

I truly believe the main reason non-disabled people believe they can’t get permanent or disabling effects from COVID is because they’ve never experienced what it’s like to not be able to rely on their body to keep them safe. This will be a rude awakening to many out there.
y’know, I really don’t understand the villain trope of “I’m in constant pain, so I want everyone else to also be in pain”
like, buddy…most chronic pain folks I know (myself included) just want a gosh darn nap
Getting a good night’s sleep when you’re chronically ill is like when you think you charged your phone but the charger didn’t work, so it’s still almost dead. Every day. In human form.
Ppl are asking why require masks in classrooms if you can get COVID elsewhere (e.g. a bar).
Some faculty/students (or their families) have health concerns. They can’t avoid the classroom like they can other crowded settings.
This is empathy; creating a safe space for everyone.
it's okay to be afraid. it's natural not to want to admit to that vulnerability. but it's so worth it!! the freedom you gain from using mobility aids is so worth it, whether you're 20 or 75. take the leap. (5/5)

Disabled & impoverished people use Amazon because there are no better options.
We are advocating right alongside nondisabled & financially stable people for more ethical options, safer work conditions, better pay & unionizing.
Meanwhile, we have to survive.
What makes me most sick is that Christians will celebrate and believe that God made it so. No, this is not God. It is years of Christians waging religious war. It is not about protection, love, or morality. All of this is about one thing only: power. White power.
And then there are the Christians who say “now our work begins…let’s care for them.” That’s terrifying: if you can’t care for people until you win, then your theology never saw their humanity in the first place. They were only pawns in your game. That’s not of God or Jesus.
