WEAR A MASK!
Are this many people genuinely unaware of the damage SARS-CoV2 continues to cause to human bodies and brains, or is it really just extreme denial?

A whole lot of people still can't figure out why students are struggling and absenteeism is so high. They seem oblivious to the fact that millions of kids have long COVID. Many are still talking about the brief stay at home period from 2020 as causal. Sometimes I just want to give up. It's COVID!
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Wearing an n95 in public is the single most intersectional act of solidarity you can take.

Every group of people under attack by the fascists in charge is at higher risk of illness wrecking their body, finances, family, & future.

Don’t let fascists turn you into a weapon. Give/get mutual aid:

Disabled people need healthcare, housing, food and social supports.

This should not be controversial.

They shouldn’t have to have “thought ahead” and purchased disability insurance.

They shouldn’t have to beg, grovel and “prove their worth”.

They shouldn’t left to die.

We are not expendable

Exactly why mask mandates are necessary to quash airborne diseases like Covid, for which we do not have a sterilizing vaccine. And for measles, for which there is no longer herd immunity via vaccines. Masking & vaccinations in combination FTW 😷💉
The whole "you shouldn't be required to get vaccines because you might think they're not safe" thing is so weird to me. We know they're safe. If you harbor a deep fear that wearing a seatbelt is somehow dangerous, you still legally have to wear one when driving.

Drawing pictures is one of the most fun, satisfying, challenging, beautiful things you can do. Making a terrible ugly drawing is so pure and gorgeous and human and I can't believe anyone would let a robot pretend to do that for them.

I hope nondisabled people are listening to disabled people as we’ve discussed the mass hemorrhaging of accessible jobs, layoffs over accommodations and spike of tools used to screen out disabled employees in the past few years (which ends survival possibilities for us)

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins plans to make all SNAP recipients reapply and prove "that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it.”

The 'genuinely disabled'

The 'literally vulnerable'

They keep moving the goalposts.

They were never going to fund SNAP. It's eugenics:
Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits
Food aid recipients are already required to recertify their information regularly. But the move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the program.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

For those of us who became disabled as a result of the pandemic, Alice was a bright light walking us through the experience. She did so much to show many of us what it meant to see disability as a beautiful part of who we are, not something to resent.

If an airborne virus emerged that undeniably targeted people like you… would you wear a mask to protect yourself?

Now try to find a group of people that don’t suffer negative effects of a lot of currently circulating viruses…

Include time off work, loss of earnings, secondary infections,

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed.

Here are the words she left behind:

Glad I got to become disabled in a world that already had Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social in it. I learned so much from her incredible writing & activism. May her memory be a blessing, & may we all continue her work.
Easiest way to do it? WEAR A MASK. Protect yourself & the vulnerable around you.

What I want to say about Alice is this: we have not decided as a society that we want people like her to live as human beings. Currently, the regime under which she lived & died is closing off the elements that made her extraordinary life possible. Her work is literally being erased.
She was extraordinary, and extraordinarily generous. Alice Wong: I am so grateful to have been alive in her lifetime. She was one of our species' best. She deserved better. My her legacy be for a blessing.

It just gets me almost everyday. Why don’t these ridiculously rich people help others? Why do all of them refuse? Honestly, I do not understand why there isn’t an altruistic one in the group. How are they all so fucking evil that they are banding together to destroy humans. It’s bizarre to me.

The shutdown is at 39 days but SNAP has only been cut for 8 and we're already seeing massive demand for food pantries, desperate pleas for direct help and assistance on related things like helping people keep pets. This is precarity at its highest. While the rich get richer.
