My hot take if you post and pimp and promote alt text but not mask up for us at the VERY least at healthcare facility.
You are still a rampant abelist
99.9% of ya can handle wearing one when in a HC facility ...

Tapping the sign: "Staying alive is a lot of work for a disabled person in an ableist society."—Alice Wong in the Introduction to Disability Visibility
I find myself increasingly wondering how able bodied people appear to believe that being disabled is"easy."
Getting accommodations in school, uni and/or work: easy, a breeze, even!
Getting a doctor to write you a certificate supporting your needs: EASY!
Working from home: EASY!

I’ve spent the last hour reading hundreds of posts from long COVID support groups.
I can’t tell you how upsetting it is to read the suffering.

Several posts talk of a feeling of fading away… into death…

I'm one of "the vulnerable" who have been deemed acceptable losses by eugenicist culture. I gotta tell you, that takes a real toll on the spirit. Knowing that someone outside my household cares whether I live or die is a morale boost I don't take for granted.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.
