Never That Easy

Disabled human, living in Massachusetts, wondering where the liberal utopia she was promised is.

@Be_Humble2001 My Great-Uncle was a WWII vet & a Vietnam-era Casualty Notification Officer - Our family says he thought his time as a Notification Officer was more difficult.

THIS IS FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE ‼️

@hopelessxentric As a person w/LC - I appreciate this so much. I don’t think I’ve seen many other people say this. I’m afraid I might actually be dying, even tho the damn thing didn’t manage it 6 yrs ago, but I’m running out of ways to say ‘please don’t let this happen to you too.’

@witchywoo55 @1goodtern I apologize for misreading the tone of your question; I’m too used to the sarcasm of non-maskers asking the same question, I suppose, & defensive in return. Cheers, fellow masker - I too wish we had safer places.

[Never That Easy @NeverThatEasy]

@witchywoo55 @1goodtern Because you do not, some of us still have to wear them, even in our own homes. But that doesn’t seem to matter to most people.

I made a comic about why you should be masking in 2026 (spoiler: it’s to protect yourself and your community)

A thread...

How I learned to read. How I taught reading. If you’re mocking this, you don’t understand reading at a base level. I’m a Xennial, & we used to keep our own dictionaries on the corner of our desks, in order to look things up as we were reading in class. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Kai Cenat kept having to look up what certain words meant during his reading journey to become a better speaker 😭

@stuffhedoes So very sorry for your loss.

A 15 year old autistic boy went missing this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person's report & begged the public to help find him

He was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

I am openly critical of Long COVID researchers that do not mask publicly; that sign on to "back to normal / learn to live with COVID" messaging because in my mind, this is far more harmful to people living with Long COVID than any benefit their research has given us. To be blunt

Remember that part in #Andor when all those reporters on Ghorman made it sound like the Ghormans were violent and the Empire HAD to send in soldiers to stop things from getting out of hand but in reality the soldiers WANTED things to get out of hand?

Yea, that was crazy huh?

You saw a notification on my phone and you recognized my user. You waited till I was drugged and drunk to take me home and have your fun.

@pwsimerimiaw @useless_priest Same. Started as a teenager, on message boards and email groups; have continued as an adult over professional groups, every social media platform ever, & Idk anyone who claims they’ve recovered 100%. Lots of people improved, none would say they’re back to baseline.

Nazi salutes, anti-DEI, transphobia, ICE deportations - these are rooted in eugenics. Again institutionalization and murder at play. RFK's statement that race impacts vaccine schedules is scientific racism. His efforts to take away safe medications like SSRIs is eugenics. 11/13

I wish we could disavow the actions of our leaders more forcefully than on social media. Canada should do everything to save itself, and so, the US falls further down in the eyes of the rest of the world.

There is no appeasement. He means it as annexation. The world needs to stand together against this. Now.

[Never That Easy @NeverThatEasy]

@karriehiggins I’m there, but the notifications are unmanageable. It doesn’t seem to matter what I set them to: it’s either a billion, all day every day or zero, which means my AuADHD lets me forget it even exists. 🤷🏻‍♀️ overwhelm for sure.

[Never That Easy @NeverThatEasy]

It me. I’m a girl.

[Coco @cocomarvgrows]

A girl loved her health,
But a virus came & stole it away.
So, she let go of that love.

A girl loved her friends,
But they refused to protect her.
So, she let go of that love.

A girl loved the birds,
But the birds began to die.
So, she let go of that love.

A girl loved…

Gee, if only there had been some knowledgeable group of people, who knew about the longterm consequences of viruses, LITERALLY SCREAMING THIS SINCE DAY ONE. Nobody listens to disabled people, and they /definitely/ don’t listen to us about the areas of our expertise.
