“There’s a bittersweet irony in the fact that those providing life saving assistance are among a group that’s been vilified by the non-disabled for years. Shunned for masking, taunted & abandoned by those who wanted to ‘forget about Covid.’”
Despite how they’ve been treated, they still showed up.

Disabled People are the Canaries in the Coal Mine
When it comes to natural disasters, pandemics, or disruptions to "normal" life, disabled people are proverbial canaries. We get hit harder and faster than others. Why aren't we factored into plans?

Y'all are going to have to pardon my irritation with this one, but how the fuck is it a "personal choice" to wear a mask when we all share air? And why are liberals and leftists now quoting this right wing circa June 2020 talking point at me as if I'm the one being illogical??

Listen, if you're feeling the urge to build community & look for ways to resist fascism, I need you to start masking in public again. You can't build solidarity with at-risk communities while being actively ableist, and not masking in public is ableist. Sorry to be blunt, but I'm existentially tired
