please also do it for yourself and the people you share air with at home. covid is stil spreading, still very very bad for you, and vaccines still only reduce your chances of getting long covid (but if you wear an N95 the germs can’t even get to you!)
If you consider yourself an ally to disabled and marginalized individuals - but you’re no longer masking in public - we need you to start right now.
If a mask ban passes in NYC - it may not be long before we see them across the country.
The best thing you can do for us is wear a mask.

At every step of the way - disabled advocates have begged the public to take these bans more seriously.
To consider that they’re another step in escalating fascism. Wild government overreach clearly designed to aid surveillance systems and NOT to prevent crime.
But no one helps us. /13

I’m convinced this is at heart of anger people express towards maskers
They don’t want to face the fact that they’re making the wrong choice. They’re risking their health AND the health of others when deep down they know better
They don’t want to think about death & disability.

For the love of God, Covid isn't over - so can people please wear masks?
If only long Covid weren’t an invisible disability - if it caused something visible, perhaps people would be forced to act and wear a mask

This is beautiful, thank you @jessiegender.bsky.social ❤️ It touches on a lot of the things I feel as an artist, especially as I get older. Community and connection are everything. Art is a mirror, that helps us connect and make sense of the impossible.

This denial runs so deep - people will decide they simply “don’t do sick” and shun you if you can’t hide your disabilities.

This is why I say things like this are complicated.
There are people with progressive terminal illnesses who have a legitimate desire to control the end of their own life.
There are also a lot of disabled or poor people with legitimate concerns that this will be weaponized against them.

Wait time for a disabled person to access medically assisted death in Canada? 3 months
A specialist for TREATABLE conditions? 12-18 months
Affordable housing? Multiple years

Taking Covid precautions isn’t “living in fear”. It’s living in reality.
Taking steps to avoid infection shows you’re adaptable, compassionate and resilient. It shows you know your health & the health of others is more important than any reckless activities.
It shows you’re not living in denial.

Same goes for people choosing to take precautions seriously to prevent infection. We aren’t paranoid and some of us aren’t even afraid, we’re informed and behaving as such.
“Long COVID is not a psychological condition. It is a medical condition, and it should be treated as such”
Psychologizing people with Long Covid is dangerous. It prevents them from getting the care they need.
Once they understand it’s a severe medical condition - they MAY mask up avoid reinfection

If you’re someone who is still complaining about temporary stay at home orders and how “awful” it was for you to be isolated - why aren’t you masking or taking Covid precautions?
You’re forcing disabled and high risk people to isolate indefinitely - when you deemed it a fate worse than death.
