Stop using disabled people as inspiration porn!

When he realized the train station elevator was broken, this dad did what he needed to do. He hoisted his son, who is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair, up a long flight of steps 💪

@annavshelton @courtneycjo @oldenoughtosay @CCriadoPerez That one needs to be retracted too. I think that group of “scientists” needs to be retracted actually.

@kfgibson @luckytran Thank you! Do you know of any accurate tracking in Canada?

[Accessibility Watch Evelyn Ferguson Elliot, CPACC @AccessibilityW2]

@kfgibson @luckytran I ran it just now and I can only see cases and deaths per 100,000 and everything looks pretty low. That can’t be right. How did you run yours to see all those red areas?

@alyssaschwartz @1goodtern “Festival flu” they call it.

[Accessibility Watch Evelyn Ferguson Elliot, CPACC @AccessibilityW2]

@BruceTracy13 @1goodtern Sorry to hear that. N95? Everywhere? As in no eating or drinking while out of the house?

@lordjeff Where will you go? Mastadon?

So my surgeon says “COVID isn’t a thing in hospitals anymore”. My nephew just had emergency surgery at a HOSPITAL and got COVID. Coughing with stitches may be the least of his worries. I’m cancelling my surgery. Second time since scheduled. #PCNL #CovidIsntOver #surgery

@LadyLegalWriter I used to tell them it was a tumour and watch their face freeze. It was hilarious and totally took the sting out of it. Bet that’s the last time they’ll ask someone their due date!

@goudy_pete @kadamssl @jenn_angelheart If all the non-asthmatic kids were wearing masks, then your child’s risk (unmasked) would go down. Masks work best when all people are wearing them and they work well when most are wearing them. No need to throw everything out just because one solution is slightly better.

My neighborhood friend tells me she joined a yoga class .
I ask “ Do they have a hepa filter and do you wear a mask .?” She says “NO ,but we are six feet apart “ . I tell her about aerosols. She says “Don’t ruin it for me . “ I’m tired of trying to help people stay safe . 😣

@lordjeff Oh to have been a fly on that wall!

@aliciaberri You are not alone. I wish we all could get together (safely and outdoors) and gather strength from each other IRL.

I’m STUNNED that one of the comments after this story was, “I’m sure @MarleeMatlin can lip read. What a drama Queen.” No, not all D/deaf people can lip read and how would she “lip read” voices offscreen or other sounds, even if she can? https://t.co/pBr7RMXUZw

I’m getting so tired of media & doctors that they quote, obsessing over the mildness of symptoms of COVID. Remember another example of a mild virus with long-term disabling, deadly effects? AIDS from HIV. Wake up people!
