WAIT WAIT WAIT EVEN BETTER!

"Hey, would you put alt text on this?"

"Oh my fucking GOD I'm so tired of people harassing me about alt text!"

This is a post about why you should wear a mask in public spaces. You are the alt text complaining person, but even worse.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

WAIT WAIT WAIT I got it! Perfect metaphor!

You know how Bluesky is pretty terrible to use for blind folks, so way more of them are on Mastodon?

You've been advocating for those folks here, even if you can't see that struggle, right?

No? This a post about why everyone should wear masks in public.

Libs: I can't believe we live in a country where one group of people could be discriminated against so terribly. Donald Trump is HORRIBLE for what he's doing with ICE!

Also Libs: If cripples need to die so I can openly cough on people's faces in public they'd better fucking die already.

It’s really disheartening to see people who admit this regime is doing eugenics fail to understand the ways in which chronically ill, disabled, and immunocompromised people are just absolutely fucked by Long Covid

Getting COVID 5 times doesn’t make you “stronger.” The immune system isn’t a muscle—repeated infections can cause cumulative damage and raise long-term risks.

Protect your immune system by avoiding repeat infections: clean air, masks, vaccination.

Damn, we just throw disabled people under the buss so the rest of society can be comfy? Not willing to do the work so we ALL get to see the other side of fascism?

People see THAT and don't wanna join up. Cuz they know you might turn on em as soon as it's convenient.

You all are welcome to advocate for improved indoor air filtration any time! The Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics says long covid is now the most common chronic illness in children. The biggest misconception is that only the (already) vulnerable are at high risk.

From The Sick Times on Instagram: a new study found that one in seven children under age six with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection met the probable diagnostic criteria for long COVID. Studying over 1,000 infants, toddlers, and pre-school aged children, researchers revealed differences in how long COVID presented between age groups. “Young children have been largely excluded from public conversations about the impact of COVID,” said one co-author. “[This research] should be a wake-up call to providers and parents: babies and toddlers can develop long COVID.” The authors also put together a resource designed for caregivers of children with long COVID, which identifies long COVID as “the most common chronic health problem in children.” Citation: journal of the American medical association pediatrics.

Golly, if ever you get disabled by long covid and have your own social life cut off because people say this kinda shit at you...

I honestly hope it never happens, but I've seen this exact kinda story play out so many times it's crushing. Good luck on the sickness roulette.

I was supposed to be enjoying some nice drawings of titties on here but y'all just haaaaad to remind me why Bluesky sucks so much ass instead lmao.

Can't even have a good time anywhere without people who wanna give the concept of eugenics a blowjob ruining my fun.

That's a real fucking thing btw, the $2000 bit. Literally. If I got more than that saved, I lose my disability.

Hell, if I even fuck up the buttloads of paperwork I get all the time I can. Glad brain fog makes it so easy to not make mistakes on paperwork!

Wait, cripples in the US can't have more than $2000 in their bank accounts if they're on disability? You didn't know that?!?

See, if you can save up $2000 you no longer are disabled! It's a cheat code to life! so if you could send $2000 to my paypal...

Anyways, if y'all are gonna decide disabled people have to sacrifice being able to participate in society for your comfort, maybe you should be cutting me a fat fucking check every month so I can afford all these amazing air filtration solutions y'all seem to think I got the money for.

Anyways, if people wanna ask why I'm wearing a mask all the time and whine about me asking others to mask...

I mean look, if you wanna start a fight with me, just do it. Coward. What, you think my crippled ass can't still throw a mean left hook? I'll knock you down harder than long covid will bitch

It really REALLY is infuriating. But I suppose for these folks, it's easier doing these mental gymnastics than admitting they are bad people who hate disabled folks.

It ain't easy doing the whole self reflecting and growing deal.

LiteralGrill - So Goddamn Tired Y'all @literalgrill.com · 1h

Y'all, maybe we need to get even MORE radical so asking to wear masks will seem like the "reasonable" position...

What if we go for, "all people who advocate for eugenics against disabled people of any kind must be permanently, and horrifyingly disabled by force" instead? 🤔

LiteralGrill - So Goddamn Tired Y'all @literalgrill.com · 1h

Yeah ya see, funny thing! Folks who mask, especially disabled folks, ask for that too! Y'all just seem to only complain about folks asking for masks BECAUSE YOU ACTIVELY IGNORE OUR EXISTENCE OTHERWISE.

Then seem "shocked" when folks ask for people to do ANYTHING.

Elvie 🍂🎃 @elviereads.bsky.social · 17h

"every single person masks in public at all times" is about 1,000,000 times less workable, reasonable, or possible a solution than something like "improve access to high quality masks and air filtration"

Anyways Will, you had any trouble sleeping lately? Maybe just feeling a bit more tired than usual. Worse allergies than you had previous years? A lil bit harder time remember things than you used to?

Cuz boy howdy have I got fun news for you! Every time ya get covid, it'll get worse!

I am not interested in living in a society of Universal Public Masking and neither are most people. This ask is not reasonable, and the invocation of solidarity in service of it is ridiculous.

There's a reason we're asking folks to even show an OUNCE of care and do what is literally the easiest thing they could to try and keep people safe. Just masking.

Because y'all won't remotely try and fight how hard it'd take to do anything else when you won't do even that.

LiteralGrill - So Goddamn Tired Y'all @literalgrill.com · 1h

Like, seriously y'all. I'd LOVE for spaces to have better air filtration! You helping anyone fight that on a systematic level? At all?

Ya know, like showing that disabled people should be cared about? In a public way? That everyone could see? On your face maybe even, really advertise it?

Well I'm glad you didn't know this cuz like, it's not exactly even true.

That 95% coverage means there's still a 5% of an illness that can permanently disabled you can kill you. The odds get WAY less when BOTH folks have that N95 or better mask on.
