Look how great these @Tokyo2020 #Miratowa #equestrian art looks! (As well as pentathlon) which is your favourite?

I'm no longer terrified of dying by #COVID19.

I'm terrified of dying by Covid19 or this #2ndGreatDepression.

The combo of being impoverished & disabled during this is terrifying because of systemic barriers to living an equitable life if you're marginalized.

Whatever happened to #Equality. Nobody has the right to decide who gets to live or die!! #ParaMatters

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

The government has refused to provide national guidance that would make it clear that disabled people have the same right to life-sustaining treatment as non-disabled people if they contract #coronavirus.

I don’t want strangers guessing my quality of life.

I don’t want strangers guessing my prognosis.

I don’t want strangers guessing my life expectancy.

Guessing is ableist & stereotypical.
Disabled people deserve individualized life-saving care.
