I am so glad you are still here trying to live the best way you know how. My heart goes out to you. We are worthy of love and consideration. Thanks for writing something so real that I can share to those close to me so they can have more understanding of this reality. π

All of this to say, People who arenβt worried about the risk donβt have this constant fear or mental load that you referenced. As well as isolation because of ableism and people only caring about their comfort. Or not being able to handle the truth of the real risk.

And when I met someone who told me, they would mask in solidarity for me, esp when i am often the only one masking, i started crying. Even my close friends who were CC for a long time, stopped masking with me in public.

I have found one monthly, public, gathering where I probably take too many risks with because itβs a huge room with high ceilings, fans, and huge windows that are usually open to the outside. Though when itβs crowded, I donβt always put a mask on, because I am tired!

in gathering spaces, where my friends come to me. I also got a booster this Summer, and all my friends are vacβd and will cancel if they feel sick at all. There is still risk, but itβs what I have settled on for now.

As a CC disabled person with long covid, I see you. My struggle is as I have had some functioning returned, (60% instead of 30%) I find I take more risks because the pull to be included is so strong. Itβs human nature. Luckily for now i have found a balance where I have extra air purifiersβ¦

but more poor people and disabled people will die. Taking care of other people is what gives us humanity. The capitalist experiment has failed. Bring on soullessness and eugenics. π°
