I really need folks to stop acting like disability is full of people “scamming” the system.

The average person has no idea how hard it is to qualify. How dehumanizing the process can be. How much you have to sacrifice & give up.

It’s designed to make you quit.

“Bottom 60%” is a funny way of saying the majority.

@kryzia_marie @Catinmyfamily postviral illness isn’t new, or rare. it’s just become more visible because more people got infected at the same time

[Willow Naomi Curry ♿️🍉🇵🇸🇸🇩 @willathewisp]

We’ve got avian flu, measles, tuberculosis, influenza A and B, and norovirus going around in addition to COVID, without the ability to properly track it all because of the CDC information blackout. If you’re someone who set aside masking, I urge you to pick it back up.

What on earth could have happened to people during a pandemic of a virus that harms the gut in two dozen different ways to make people more vulnerable to Norovirus??

Thank you, New York Times.

But I think 'alarmists' might be the wrong word then?

So many previously nondisabled people are learning really abruptly that the systems in place stop seeing you as a valid human as soon as you lose the ability to produce profit or need accommodations to keep working.

All these people asking "did something happen during covid to damage our immune systems" are doing olympic level mental gymnastics to avoid the simple proven scientific truth that *covid infections harm your ability to fight other infections*.

We live in a world of such extreme income inequality that social and economic mobility is practically dead and more people than ever are homeless and below the poverty line, and the anger is about the possibility of poor people not behaving perfectly with their small dollars

all y’all have to say is “y’all are useless” and think you’re some revolutionary.
congratulations on parroting nazi rhetoric, you’re embarrassing and unserious

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

I asked for their full name to lodge an official complaint and they refused.

It’s hard to believe this is where we’re at. Before Covid I never had a healthcare worker refuse to mask. I also noticed this HCW wasn’t wearing gloves when the others were. /8

The person keeping you from dying from Listeria is a federal employee.

The person making sure your plane doesn’t fall out of the sky is a federal employee.

The person busting up drug rings is a federal employee.

The person prosecuting terrorists is a federal employee.

missouri: we voted yes for abortion and reproductive freedom! we voted to reverse the abortion ban!
missouri legislators: don’t care what you voted for at all, actually

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

This happens ALL the time. Especially to women.

We’re told it’s all in our head. Anxiety. That we should “calm down”. Think about it less. Get some sun. Get therapy.

Our very real physical symptoms are dismissed over & over again. Sometimes with devastating consequences

I mean, at the end of the day, a majority of disabled people spent 5 years warning people that fascism takes hold because of the eugenics of pandemics and we were all told “not everything is eugenics,” so…

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

They’ve also frozen all civil rights cases at the Justice Department, which is responsible for handling ADA complaints. 

He explains that we’re moving to a “merit based” society… which is a fancy way of saying disabled and marginalized people not welcome.

[heather 💫 @_hxneyglow]

it feels awkward because taking care of your health in a logical way during an ongoing airborne pandemic has been propagandized and politicized to the point that it’s become social faux pas to not exist in denial. all in the service of capitalism and eugenics. hope this helps!

[stefanielaine @stefanielaine]

@miiamonet The only response that doesn’t get me either baffled looks or outright scorn is “I’ve got a big work presentation next week, can’t get sick.” Why people can relate to that and not “I don’t want the airborne vascular virus to permanently inhabit my brain” I do not know

[Dr. Mia 🇬🇷 @Miazolam]

Getting hurt or sick is absolutely nobody’s “fault.” Not a single person. Nobody wants to be vulnerable and feel unwell or in pain. This rhetoric is not only vile, it’s also dangerous by perpetuating the idea that people “deserve” bad things that happen to them. My patients…

[Dr. Mia 🇬🇷 @Miazolam]

Hi, emergency doc here to debunk the claim that “when you take care of yourself and have good health there are no emergencies.” This is a reprehensible, heartless statement. I see kids who were shot, domestic violence, assaults, fatal car crashes, people trapped in a house fire…
