And like, god forbid you don’t say something the correct way while you’re essentially begging other people to care that our lives are all in each others hands and they say that you should just stay home forever or die when they would never accept that for themselves

I’m trying to transform this grief and pain into art and something productive and I’m going to make zines about disability and sex work and the pandemic but god it just fucking sucks so much how eugenicist everyone is while they pretend to be radical.

You don’t have to wait for a governmental body or agency to protect you. You can take the measures to protect people immediately, right now. Things are uncertain, scary, and you have the power to talk directly to people, contact mask blocs, and get up to date on the data, other outbreaks and distro.

Anyway, we’re in a massive fucking surge right now, wear a mask to that play party, care about the health of others. We are all we have, we keep us safe, and no one deserves to live social death because they are disabled/immunocompromised.

If you’re a leatherqueer or kinkster who values consent, public safety, health of your partners and friends, then you need to start taking the refusal to keep people safe in the face of *real data and science* seriously. Aesthetics were more important than human lives.It’s not okay and it’s rampant

I’m also not some random, we were mutuals when I was like 23 and I was starstruck by her. I genuinely looked up to her and wanted to be in community with her and when I reached out I was trying to look out for the queer people nobody else will even now.

She probably either ignored my email (I was too scared to check) or posted about it calling me some form of “insane” because I tried my best to communicate that we should care about each other during a pandemic and she had power to make a difference, set a standard and show love to disabled queers.

This creates a power dynamic where ppl at real risk of harm, people who are enduring social deaths, people who are on the shit end of a real life power dynamic are begging for people to care enough to not kill or permanently disable them or others. Being dismissive of that is communication of values

Whether you’re a masker or not, you need to understand that a person with the power to make decisions about the public health safety of their events when being presented with information being dismissive of that is not caring, communal behavior. And the way this interlaces with Kink values of safety

connection between abusive interpersonal behavior, not treating people’s concerns about safety as real concerns with pandemic denialism. Those parties were superspreaders and she had power to make them Covid safer and she chose not to protect the people paying her to go and was directly pleaded with

I explained that immunocompromised (leather)queers are forced into isolation. Disabled queers don’t get to go to play parties, Folsom, don’t get opportunities, don’t get to be with our own community who constantly espouses how important “community” and nightlife is.
I am begging people to make the-

Sometimes getting dragged and fought *IS* the education.
