So much is being destroyed because people don’t have the strength of character to risk being seen as weird by people actively committing genocide.
Wear a fucking mask, Jesus Christ.
Popular narratives about disability mirror right wing narratives about poverty so often, idk how more people don't see it. The victim blaming and personal responsibility narratives, the false positivity, the self-help grifters... it's all the same 🫠.
I actually see (to a degree) why people give up all their precautions. Because constantly asking people to protect you (& often being denied), and living life with next to no in person community is hard as hell. I'm not changing a thing, but damn am I burnt tf out.
Being a carer for a disabled person is incredibly hard, but there is a world of a difference between carers who think it’s hard because the disabled person is a burden and those who think it’s hard because the state has abandoned disabled people
With great power comes great responsibility, and by that I mean just because TV shows can make people realistically throw up DOES NOT MEAN THEY SHOULD!
And that actress had a small but memorable role on Buffy so I was happy to see her but bummed it was to portray “neurotic person who doesn’t want to get covid.”
Episode 5 and especially 6 of the new The Four Seasons w/ Tina Fey deals with covid. I think they actually did a decent job with it, but I’m grumpy and PEM-ie today and fed up with Hollywood on this generally so I’m stilly grumpy about it ‘cuz Hollywood usually gets it wrong.
Oh and of course as always they had only the most annoying people be concerned about it. Of COURSE! That’s why I was annoyed at first, a woman in a crowded indoor unmasked event heard Covid mentioned and was like “oh no I can’t get covid” and lady you could wear a fucking mask.
I would say that I have no idea why people continue to go out of their way to make it harder to exist as long covid patients, harder for us to be taken seriously, and continue to work to increase stigma against us, but I guess ultimately ppl are afraid of the reality of LC
been really sad lately when seeing so many people advocating for masking & air purification but the only ones that engage or listen already do those things, and the people that need to start doing it won't pay attention. i feel like i'm losing my mind
I’m surrounded by people who are ignoring covid and surprised by their new health problems.
I just………..
Ableism will disable the world because everyone thought they were somehow above the effects of this fucking virus.
