If you’re in the market for some high-quality KN95s, I recently became an affiliate with Kind Mask!
I’ve seen several mutuals rocking these respirators and I can’t wait to finally try em out once they arrive in the mail.

I wish I could say I feel vindicated by this long-awaited study, but I'm just... exhausted.
I take no joy in sharing covid info. This shit's horrifying at every turn.
But disabled people have to care doubly because the world doesn't care at all.
The past 5 years feel like 20.

Just want to say that I've personally used Kind masks and can say they're good quality! Good time to stock up on nice colorful masks as people start to get sick more!

I'm not sure there's anyone out there who deserves recognition and commendation more than Alice Wong. Her work is incredible and she has already changed the world
I had the profound privilege of commending Alice Wong, a visionary leader, cultural organizer, and one of the most powerful voices in the disability justice movement.
Through her leadership, writing, & activism she has empowered the voices of individuals with disabilities throughout the nation.

The left has an ableism problem.
The right obviously does too. They’re loudly bigoted & closed-minded.
My focus is on the people who claim to be inclusive, progressive and willing to learn, grow and adapt to new information.
Where are leftists when disabled people need them?

I lost access to my ADHD meds in 2023 after I left my provider for putting me at risk by showing up to my appt with covid
I’ve been on half my meds for about a year now…
AND I JUST GOT THE REST OF IT PRESCRIBED!
If I haven’t made it clear already, PREPARE TO BE SICK OF ME 🫵

Doctors are not gods.
There are plenty of doctors without egos and scientists who have been studying covid for over half a decade. They’re doing the thankless work of recording the far-reaching effects and distributing the info.
In this individualistic hellscape, I’m listening to them.

It’s Disability Pride Month!
Many of you have been disabled by one or multiple covid infections and don’t know it yet.
Many others are aware, though, and have been sounding the alarm for years.
Stop disabling your communities by breathing all over everyone.

Tens of millions of kids with long covid.
They didn’t ask for this shit.
We’re failing them every day.
Forcible infections are straight from the eugenicist’s playbook.
When they grow up, they’re gonna rightfully demand answers.
I’ll be firmly planted in their corner.

Y’all are out here huffing covid like you have unlimited paid time off and hella benefits at your disposal lmao
The social cost of being the only masked person in a room is higher than the worth of your own health and wellbeing? And the health of those around you? Why?

Covid ages the brain 10x faster than natural aging.
If you proclaim to be progressive and inclusive, you should be on the front lines of sharing info about an ongoing mass disabling event.
Here I cover some of covid’s effects, the Semmelweis Reflex, and how to start caring.

If me sharing studies on the dangers of covid scares you bc you’ve been ignoring it for years… is that fearmongering?
Or are you just going thru a personal reckoning and trying to make it my problem?
I’m sharing info that our leaders should be sharing. Take it up with them.

Covid ages the brain 10 times faster than natural aging.
That’s per infection btw.
It affects everything from spatial awareness to problem solving.
We’re experiencing continuous neurological damage on a global scale.
It’s no wonder people are using GenAI to think for them.
