Reddit: "The people who are studying the impact of COVID literally talk about it in the past tense, as if we are building monuments to some past event. Like “wow we should learn from COVID to listen to disabled people” you mean the disabled people trying to tell you covid is still ongoing??!"

It is near impossible to convince people that I’m telling the truth when I say “exercise damages my muscles” bc it’s so counter to everything we think we know about bodies.

I’m heartbroken at the loss of Leslie & for YB who he loved deeply & fiercely. For seven years, I had the privilege of knowing him—his mind, his humor, his boundless creativity, & unflinching political clarity. The world is immeasurably poorer without his voice.
