whoever stole my package, maybe consider people buy things like robo vacs not because they are rich but because they are disabled and cleaning is hard for them! i cannot afford to get this replaced & im not eligible to get it refunded so thanks for making my life harder ig
disabled people: if you give someone covid and they die, that's your responsibility, you were the factor that changed them from living to dead
abled people: but it HURTS my FEELINGS
the whole "but i want to go to bars!!" thing reminds me a LOT of the harry potter game. it's not that disabled people hate fun and are big meanies! it's that your resolve for liberation can't beat a fucking VIDEO GAME or a BAR bro like that's an ISSUE
wild when people think it's out of pocket to compare covid and the response to it to hiv/aids crisis like it's not on them for paying 0 attention to how bad things are 😭 like imagine if you took 5 seconds to break down what AIDS stands for and what covid does
covid aware people: the vaccines we have right now aren't that great and we could use some better ones
people who don't even mask atp: so what you're saying is you're antivaxx
it is WILD how people watch disabled folk beg and mourn for their hopes and dreams, to be loved and embraced as well, to LIVE for a little bit longer, and y'all can puff your chests and say that it's DISCOURSE and selfish 💀💀 no homie you're just fascist lmaoo
when i express covid causes some degree of brain damage or inflammation, ppl literally cannot believe it bc they only visualize brain damage as occurring in cognitively disabled people they view as disgusting and unrelatable. even tho covid/long covid causes cognitive decline lol
like do you wanna just continue the cycle of acting like disabled people have to endure this violence or that we drop dead randomly, and not be honest that we are exposed to inhumanity and harm that is optional?? im every facet of life?? grow up or it will STAY this way dog
the idea that disabled people are disposable isn't gonna change until you change it. this is just another form of "acceptable losses". you can "not mean" whatever but if you arent trying to disrupt this chain of unnecessary loss then i don't really want to hear it
if you /want/ to care about people you have to come to some form of reality that you can cause tangible harm. that's why we start. caring. and. adapting. you would WANT cycles of manipulation, abuse, and neglect from never taking accountability? where is "break the cycle" now
also, people neglect their disabled friends as soon as we won't or can't do every little thing they want. so no, it's not surprising that our struggle is invisible to you when y'all reject any concept of disability and abuse/manipulate your disabled friends into silence/"normal"
part of fascism. is pleasures. that deprive others of their livelihoods and rights. do you get it? yes im SURE video game fun. that's a conversion factor. if it's fucking fascist it's your obligation to build a resolve stronger than Video Game Fun like what is going on lmfao
kills me dead when white ppl get irritated and break out the aave LOL like girl where did your blacksona come from and why are you involving her in this
it is so Interesting (derogatory) that like 90% of colloquial synonyms for "bad" are directly or easily traceable to dehumanizing physical or cognitive disabilities 😳
idk why this gained traction
• no i couldn't have prevented it
• you don't need to explain that people are ableist. i think that's a bad thing actually!
i lost something i paid for & that will cause me pain. be normal!
oh cool, seems like someone we can trust in our spaces. someone who reacts this way toward disabled people. loving the "i do Real actions not talk about being ~disabled~ on twitter" and "leftism is about being tough and going gym" energy
the ableism in mishandling the pandemic is rlly exposing how a lot of ppl's praxis does not really align with their "leftism". liberation for... who? not disabled people. intersectionality for... able white (queer often) folks? lol?
covid is big bpd fuel i think. bc how is everyone doing bare minimum if not nothing to help, and when you bring it up they find whatever way to silence, belittle, or dismiss you. feels like i am being lied to constantly about how much ppl "care"
found a couple apts that REALLY suit our needs and are doable within the next week, but we can't secure one without making about $2000 on what we have rn 😮💨 please spread!! this could change everything 😭

i cannot, cannot stress enough to buy/make yourself a HOCl generator!! it is non-toxic (white blood cells produce HOCl), body safe (know the concentration you're making), and antimicrobial against a variety of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. it is a home and body disinfectant lol
if you’ve been less vigilant about sanitizing surfaces because we know COVID is primarily airborne, now is a good time to get serious about fomites because of H5N1. and hypochlorous acid is effective against both
just got an article recommended to me about "mystery" pneumonia and respiratory illness in dogs. are you fucking serious? they're like huh this must have nothing to do with the surging unmitigated immune system and organ shredding virus we know can transmit to animals!
i literally can't stand when abled people are so scared of being perceived as eugenicist or ableist that they actually won't listen and continue to contribute to behaviors that actually make them those things
god forbid disabled people aren't perfect, graceful, and nice while we're left to die. the horror of an unkind tweet... we should definitely focus on this more than eugenics
[ableism] incredibly embarrassing to watch other disabled people be like UGH i struggled already so why should i care about covid! we are all dead meat to fascism. i cannot promise harder that people you are abandoning your community for will do the same to you
im so very fucking tired. the daily, constant fascist bullshit. so many ppl just live in a daydream where they don't think oppression can be That Bad Anymore. im tired of my and others suffering being fiction for others to pity or emoji reply and never think about again. cool!
like you hear "i dont want to die, i have dreams that are on pause because no one thinks my life is worth anything" and think "wow this is so MEAN and exclusive to ME" you think like a fucking fascist! tomato tomato tomato tomato
me: it's bad that ive had covid so many times, im much more disabled than i was and i fear i will lose a lot of function or drop dead from strain. you should wear a mask. i don't deserve to die
white people: i think... You are bad for making me feel bad *eyes glaze over*
"i DON'T have covid."
you don't mask. did you test?
did you test literally right now, since you stay unprotected? was it a PCR quality test?
...then you literally don't know.
which is why i stay masked up. i can't not be around people and i cant afford tests.
a lot of y'all are missing the point of this tweet, as if it implies there was zero state failure in the handling of covid. it's about consistent removal of autonomy and accountability, which you can have even if you were disillusioned by the state. it's about yr comfort ableism.
bro. effects over intention every time. if your actions cause you to routinely abandon and ignore marginalized people ?? i don't give a fuck that's what you're doing until you STOP. still racism. still ableism. still other phobias bro just wear a goddamn mask
im pretty sure i have covid 🙃 throat very swollen and lymph nodes.
what tips do u recommend for an uninsured person to reduce complications / more effectively r&r
like not everyone is wearing tinfoil hats... you are capable of contributing to a problem and chances are if you violently rebuke anyone giving information or the smallest contribution you are in fact plugging your ears and contributing to the shitshow
@BrogIe_pyon
"Erasure and hypervisibility are both oppressive" that part! neither of these are exceptions to oppression nor are they competing. and with nuance they often both exist at different times. frankly it sucks that people sic these experiences against each other
i'm dead serious -- if you don't mask around others, you better start budgeting to regularly donate to people who are getting LC & otherwise worsening post-covid infection. we can't fix nor avoid the trap you made for us.
like people ignored aids for years they're doing with covid, only thinking about it when it's on Their doorstep bc they assume it only affects "those" people they don't care ab which isn't true in either case. have the tiniest amt of perspective to see when history repeats itself
so many people come forth as halfhearted liberals when disability and disease come to the table. like go girl give us nothing. you have to actually do something outside of your immediate comfort zone without being guaranteed a reward? that must be so hard on you
no donations in 3 days, this is now URGENT please help so i don't get evicted and left for dead. PLEASE spread my post i will not survive being homeless
$40/600 PLEASE spread.
i'm having an extremely difficult time making money and i haven't had donations in a couple days. time is running out and i have more bills to pay 🥲
i will not survive eviction -> homelessness unless a miracle happens, point blank
i need community that doesn't focus on offloading internalized transphobia via infighting. ppl who understand oppression =/= exemption from bigotry; that terfism and transmeds within and externally are our killers, and not those of us who are not within linear white binaries.
im off that brand of adhd/autism where u know people but trying to remain in consistent contact with more than 1-2 people at a time casts instant spell of burnout
tired of people having fake outrage because they don't want to think anything is significant if it implies they did wrong by not caring and choosing ignorance. like you can just choose to do better, no one is stopping you. you're pretending you have no choice lol
@DontVoteSplit
@TaylorLorenz
yeah it's FULLY dishonesty & disinterest in critical thinking to tell us masks and isolation (in any form as prevention) "don't work" but also "those people" should just keep doing both alone, because it works in That case,
thanks, actually! thank you i didnt notice. thank you for your input. feel free to let me know when it's okay to criticize things that aren't working as well as they could again. you're right and i definitely should settle for less
i love when im like "the weirdly persistent allergies could be covid" and ppl are like "NO it's JUST allergies" and im like "could always be both?" met with silence and no covid test in their future 🙏
🥴 this dark age where ppl want to act like clean air and virus prevention are not necessary to human survival & wellbeing, while directly seeing the effects of that belief is. so cool. like bc of this messaging most people still don't know how to use a mask properly!
yeah don't lecture me as a poor disabled person on how there's a lack in education and resources on Covld. as if disabled people aren't mobilizing to fill that gap despite our health issues, as if you can't do the research and discussion we do despite dying, etc. grow a spine
being nice is cool and good but marginalized people absolutely do not owe the tone or emotions you prefer them to have when you're stepping all over them. do not equate your guilt and the act of confrontation as problematic on behalf of the people raising issues to you
this gets me so salty because how are you gonna treat people actively facing harm like wacky conspiracy theorists when those folks are harming us too 💪 begging you to investigate the topic before just accusing disabled people of the violence that's killing us 🦅🇺🇲
i wish ppl humanized racially marginalized ppl. my pain, disability, comfort, etc. comes second to white ppls without fail! im in pain AS WELL, but *i* need to do the heavy lifting bc they cannot possibly talk about their pain without minimizing mine??
(nonbinaryphobia)
"oppression isn't a competition but mine is the WORST! what? you mean my limited pov is binary-coercing and white? i should view all forms of trans oppression as bad? ok well what if i called being nonbinary a slippery slope to being serial rapists instead"
my family telling me i didnt want or care about my lost cat because i was too chronically ill and physically unable to search for him and desperately needed their help has opened a wound i don't think will ever close 🙃 i still love him so fucking much and i miss him everyday
my experience as a black disabled person in the pandemic is fucked & it's further compounded for my darkskinned peers. can we stop learning abt/from black people through DEATH? can you fucking proactively try to not kill us instead of relying on black death as a lesson 2 humanize
if you are taking twitter breaks, i hope you are looking for news elsewhere bc avoiding "bad news" is just liberalism. social media is honestly the best for live reporting/updates/community wrt palestine, covid, etc. we can't all choose to turn suffering off bc it "feels bad"
my favorite ableism/sanism type is when ppl get dead set on assigning you bad intent/character bc the alternative would be admitting they're harming or excluding you, so they have to upkeep the narrative that actually you're the one being fucked up, antisocial, and not in reality
@HeroRofocale
i don't think you got my tweet. i'm very literally talking about causation, not taking precautions leads directly to death and disablement. i fail to see why it's necessary to point out that accidents and misfortunes happen. ive masked in my own home
the unapologetic ableism is funny because sorry, are y'all not also on twitter about oppression or is it only bad when people who care about disability do it? curious if you would learn anything abt disabled reality on your own if we were not providing free education constantly
it's hard to feel like i will be able to trust even if covid gets dealt with. i grieve relationships that fell apart because the pandemic exposed people's ableism and they ran with it instead of changing. now that i know what people do & will believe about disabled people ...
we literally can't fill a hole you are constantly digging. it's just not gonna happen, we can't ~pull ourselves up by our mask straps~ and just co-exist when we are violently shoved out of sight & killed via covid. like it's not possible & you're directly worsening
like Yes, people still come out ALIVE from covid, but it was doing shit to you and chances are it still fucking is. i need more ppl to pack up the ego and just admit they don't understand these things so they can stop interrupting the spread of lifesaving information
broooooo people who get informed of the smoke and still don't feel like they need to mask, have kids, and/or pets... why do you need me to convince you /wildfire/fire/ pollution is bad to HOTBOX. also the ppl responsible for LIVING THINGS ?
@grassfay
this is the issue with people who think They and their crew should be allowed to police bc They can do it Right and only exclude the Bad Ones like that makes any sense. your perception based off of your programming isn't 1:1 with lived reality. it's just police Two
passively waiting for ppl to stop thinking "i didnt feel it" = nothing happened inside your body whatsoever lol like you... you contracted a virus that takes up to months to fully recover from why do you think that would have minimal effects on you, especially multiple times
@AbbyMachines
love how anti maskers were/are like "we can't mask forever" so it's largely their fault that we are in such dire need of widespread masking NOW so people don't risk stroke & organ failure going to the fucking store, work, or doctor's where they HAVE to be
yo, if this tweet resonates with you, consider sharing my CFing 🖤 i'm just a disabled queer trying to survive, and i could really use some help with groceries and rehnt this month :) ($64/$140 short term for groc + electric)
ca, vmo, pp: dogshapey
GFM:
im radically inclusive, so if you have any weird revisionist reservations about how people are allowed to be trans/nonbinary, or otherwise queer, see the door 🚪
(classically, all that shit punches down the most on marginalized people w/ diverse experiences anyway)
i fear there's no way to say this without people hating it or the bootstrap crowd appearing but i think a lot more of us should defeat the shame around giving $1 to someone with literally zero dollars
my perspective is limited, but ive noticed detransitioned ppl are often trans/gq but just in a different way so it's weird to see ppl cling onto their internal gender cop & broadly paint the entire concept as anti trans without considering it's a layered topic
like im just being real with you, you go like 4 years without ever actually preventing the virus from spreading in a meaningful way and then suddenly wonder why your kids and pets are getting sick? treat them like they fucking matter! wear a fucking mask! filter your air goddamn
⬜ binary trans people moment. y'all love to take your oppression and dangle it in front of your undeniable whiteness to pretend like you aren't acting like a fucking settler right now, enforcing the constructed binary that disproportionately displaces and kills bipoc 🏳️⚧️ people
are there no disabled black, brown, indigenous folks? queer folks? all of the above and more?? you think these populations are not disproportionately at risk for disablement if they aren't already disabled? you really think complacency w/ ~this~ genocide is Fiiiine tho!
wearing a mask and avoiding spread situations is "stressful" for you but the stress is just not bathing in privilege you literally would rather not let go of even though you're not really out of harm's way?? but this isn't "stressful" for queer, blk, etc. disabled people at allll
the sheer internalized disgust and dissonance with disability is disgusting. like you really think you are immune to this kind of illness and thus continue to leave it to those of us getting fucked by covid the most (which literally can become you QUICKLY, w/o symptomatic notice)
you really thought bc you're queer/trans that you don't need to be antiracist. you have no grasp on what yt guilt is, but it's the main politic when you're asked to care about other people. y'all can't HELP but tell others they matter less than the feelings of confronted yt ppl
no one is /shaming/ you, you are feeling a shame response bc attention is being drawn to a cruel behavior you don't want to be associated with the cruelty of. that is why we are trying to HELP you understand oh my fucking god. im so tired of the language and tone policing
idk i need to stop mentally engaging with it but the thought that trans people at all have like "cis privilege" for not looking trans enough is MIND BOGGLING and makes me want to throw up
you really think you are the exception to ableism & becoming disabled at all but ESPECIALLY by covid which is Known for causing chronic illness & organ disease & failure?? activating dormant conditions?? in "otherwise healthy" people?
it's gonna take most abled queers forever to realize they've set us all decades back in terms of fighting infectious disease, i /gen think we need to start an alt pride where disabled queers don't have to fear dying & can actually GET IN/around physically lol
hey this is Elliot who is being talked down to in the screenshot and he has $280 left to make rent! if you love disabled people consider helping him out
whlte people are actually talented at being single issue until they need a reason to be racist, then they're intersectionality experts in misogyny, racism, transphobia, literally any straw that can be grasped to exile and execute a Black person who was critical of them
