On this International Day for People with Disabilities - please listen to disabled people.
A hashtag is well and good - but an empty gesture if you won’t address ableism and discrimination and help us get the social supports and medical care we need and deserve. 🧵

Wear a mask. It’s a tiny thing to do. But it allows people to live life in public. To go to hospital and see their doctors. To go to the supermarket. To go to a concert. To begin to put an end to this. Please.

Earlier today, Anglican Priest Calvin Robinson ended a speech at a pro life summit in DC by giving the exact same Nazi salute that Elon Musk did.
The crowd laughed & cheered.
The Anglican Church revoked his license.
This is how you handle Nazis. You condemn them. You don’t pander to them.

1. This is true. As everyone’s on here for the Toy Show tonight, I’m starting a thread of Irish businesses and artists on here who’d love your support
Even just a share could make all the difference to them
Suggestions are welcome!

One of the greatest lies of the pandemic has been that repeat Covid infections are “inevitable”.
People were led to believe there was no point in taking precautions - and even encouraged to get covid in order to “build immunity”.
