I’m not loving the NBA right now. Between the racism in media & the absolutely pathetic handling of issues around domestic violence, sexual assault & rape, I’m feeling kind of...done. I didn’t even finish watching Game 1 & I always stay till the end. I just don’t care anymore.
@LiamOHill @the_REALization @leghorn1357 @patcornhulio @HIHKatharine @jim_sinclairjr This is a bizarre thing to say about a whole region. I don’t have the energy to address this in detail but holy lies, Batman. The Caribbean has some of the best of everything, including medical professionals.
@sameo416@MeetJess The clean air folks you’re referring to are promoting ableism & forming a protective ring around their already privileged group. Are you confused or something?
This is happening so fast. So the next set to be left behind are people like me, who will not stand by and say nothing when it’s clear the ppl we depend on might be problematic. They are showing us who & what they stand for (hint: it’s not us). Note the accounts standing w/ us.
This is on my mind now. Who’s getting left behind next? The privileged are locking their gates. Will it be folks of a certain profession or race or geographic location? Coz it will happen.
@anarchodelphis@jaclynmacrae This bit that worries me ⬇️ If I don’t go along with this attitude, might that mean that I don’t get access to information in the future? Because I can read between those lines.

Using the phrase “purity test” in an attempt to shut down or deflect criticism from marginalized grps is a form of tone policing.
Marginalized grps are being left behind by privileged allies, and they’re speaking up.
Listen to what they say.

The PAST Covid Conscious are the new Covid Minimizers.
What’s really scary is- people craving Covid information from people who only practice Covid protocols when it’s convenient.
Listen. If you can’t trust the messenger, you can’t trust the message.
Both will be minimized.

This.
Also, every time we collectively agree to compromise any portion of our advocacy (say, letting go of masks), we leave someone else behind.
We always have to remember that if we choose that path, we also risk being left behind t/ next time the collective compromises again.
So, looking for more on the current Covid surge in Japan I stumbled upon a video (shortened for tweet).
This is so sad.
But, it’s our Govts we should be angry w/ for delivering us to a place where putting each other at risk of potentially life changing illnesses is common place.
@Homebythelake @anarchodelphis Idc if he wants to wear a bag on his head. What he presented as was someone doing all the things & we supported him through all the Kraken nonsense. Turns out he’d also done indoor dining & a vacation & in response to legitimate questions, he was extremely rude.
