Anti-masking and covid abandonment are social murder.

If you're an anarchist, you have a responsibility to do everything you can to build a better world today. We keep us safe because the state and the capitalists never will. That means we have to do the work right here and now.

[mask up! 😷 gazafunds.com | sudanfunds.com @fiona_lone]

yesterday i posted a story on ig of me wearing a mask and saying “yes i still wear a mask and you should too”. person then sends it in group chat with a “are you serious? don’t scold others” and guess how the conversation went

I once told a manager, “I have come here and done my job exceptionally every day,” and their response was, “But I need you to do more than that,” after they noticed I’d started working within stricter personal boundaries.

Unfortunately, after being surrounded with normies at work for a couple years, I can say that neurotypicals actually love to scrutinize other people's "oddities" and bond over gossip & mockery. The point is to not give a fuck about their opinions

[Nicole Hendrickson @nikki57]

Covid hasn't changed the damage it does just because people stopped masking. If you wonder why so many young people are having heart attacks and strokes in the last 5 years it's not actually a mystery. The science is right there clear as day.

Remember that you not understanding a disability doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.

[possum princess @veggiequeen420]

I can’t stress this enough as someone who went 27 years before a hEDS diagnosis:

00s parents and teachers did not believe me if I was sick. they’d say that I am a liar and the “little boy who cried wolf” and then force me to participate because “there is no summer cold/flu”

Also hot tip,

When someone comes into an autistic space where autistics are talking about harm caused by autism services, and says something like "autism services have changed recently though!",

That person probably makes money off of "autism services", and can be disregarded.

[TheDisabilityEnthusiast @twitchyspoonie]

A lot of the few resources that do exist for DV survivors aren't for disabled people too. A lot of people are sent away from shelters if they're deemed to be too "difficult". A lot of disabled ppl aren't allowed to save. Abuse is excused more. And that's the tip of the iceberg.

[TheDisabilityEnthusiast @twitchyspoonie]

This includes people whose disabilities are inconvenient and make them disruptive btw. I still in no way forgotten how many people and even organizations normalized the idea of violently excluding disabled people after the BAFTAs.

[Julia 🏳️‍⚧️ @beansdelivered]

told my boss i’ve been writing for fun lately, and he legit told me to try using ai to write stories for me and then i can just read them. and he was straight up baffled when i told him the fun part is actually sitting and writing

[Smokey 🇨🇷 @SmokeTheShow]

When I was growing up you were largely seen as a rude freak for running up and filming a stranger - now I see videos of people asking not to be filmed and the comments are like “WHATEVER KAREN YOURE IN PUBLIC” and I guess I’d just like to congratulate the mass surveillance psyop

[sawyer 🌪️ @idea_alchemist]

When universal mask mandates dropped, a dangerous logical fallacy took their place… the belief that the absence of a rule equals the absence of a threat.

[🍉 Meredith Bear @WittyVitale]

So I might get hate for this but… a few years ago, the Queer Liberation March’s insta page got very ableist towards Queers who asked for a mask-requirement. Yesterday at QLM, people on the parade route were smoking/vaping. This is what happens when ableism and 1/3

[Rayyvana @RayyvanaTTV]

One of my friends bought a pair of Meta glasses so the whole friend group started referring to him as “the pervert” until he got rid of them

[Sarah Colero @Sarah_Colero]

Whenever a person says they work with accessibility or disability to defend their ignorance on disability - red flags go up.

Those red flags are validated shortly after, everytime.

people who "work with" (or even are related to) disabled people are one of the biggest abusers.

[Dmdav @Dmdav1]

Imagine sitting down and spewing venom about how unfair it is that disabled people get less than basic support.
If you are doing this then catch your self on, and go and get therapy .

[𝙰𝚗𝚑𝚎𝚍𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚊 𝙾𝚊𝚔𝚕𝚎𝚢 @AnhedoniaOakley]

I really wish more people understood just how intentional disability poverty is. It's not just that the benefits are too low to even come close to the poverty line, it's that they'll snatch back any other income you have such as pensions etc. to keep you there if you can't work.

[covid is oncogenic @chaitrovert]

they can't even show up slightly late lol, or they insist on "helping" in ways that make THEM feel good but are harmful / not what you asked for

[Matt Dowell @dowellml]

But disabled people are never given a platform to name all the ways able-bodied people don’t and won’t show up for them—including family, friends, and co-workers—but we, the disabled, are supposed to genuflect at the altar of normed society.

Yeah, no.

[adam.tsuris @AdamTsuris]

A few weeks ago a leftist I know told me it was normal for people to have a cold 2/3rds of the year before the pandemic. It's only going to get worse as memories of the old world fades.

[HayleyLDN @BlkNaCl]

everyone on here just assumed ppl with ADHD don't extend grace to friends with have other needs & it's like no if my friend has BPD i'll give them extra reassurance if my friend has autism ill try and be more direct if someone is late and i don't know their issue i wont assume
