Tell me how I SOBBED when a very distant friend on the other side of the world, studied one of my chronic illnesses & asked for some tests results bc they have specialists in their extended family who may be able to help. Just the studied part got me! 😭

And not once within their judgements do they consider that they might be neglecting us. There is ZERO compassion in the "oh they're just wanting attention", and its gross.

Im so glad they were able to understand, although its too bad they're also living w LC. That ER doc believed me, and then the LC patient community led me to 2 good cardiologists. With POTS being in the picture & measurable, im sure that helped.

I was told the same by the cardiac doctor when I took myself to the ER shortly after my 1st (life altering) covid infection.

Wth? I know one of the ppl you interviewed for this... piece. They go to school, they just take precautions in that environment & mask outside of their home.

Normality is such a plague.

you don’t get to indulge in whataboutism as an excuse to not do anything.

stop insisting COVID-aware folk want you to shut down the world. we’re asking you to open it up—for everyone.

so be a big boy/girl: wear a mask, and it you want to help disabled people, take a cue from the late alice wong:

This includes unlearning individualism and embracing interdependence. It means bending genders, honoring sacred cultural values, and learning to be closer to the land while also letting go of trying to own land.

Decolonize, Indigenize.
Land, body, and mind.

Anyone asking to provide examples can easily Google. There is not one or 2 examples, it's everywhere. Or just ask yourself regularly in your beliefs and actions as a leftist, whether or not you've considered disabled folks (access, community care, eugenics, etc.)
