Feels a little too late now but once again: tell people about Aktion T4 and what happened and how the doctors, even the ones who weren't Nazis, almost all complied. And how that ended up.

The difficult part is how disability and chronic illness are used as justification for Ai. The community wants and needs it for medical applications, accessibility and early detection. We don’t want generative Ai. Disabled people need imagination to survive, why would we need it to create?

I could really use some help, if anyone would like to buy a thing from my shop or toss me a ko-fi. End of year costs go way beyond rent, and taxes are currently unpayable. I'm in a real bind and I'm hesitant to open for any more commissions till I get more done.... www.etsy.com/shop/Eskiworks

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy. Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! 👊🏻✨

Sadly in Canada it’s not available at all anymore :(. Talk about abandoning a whole subset of the population that can’t take the mRNA and tends to be actually more vulnerable than the average person (hence the mRNA reactions or side effects 🫠).

Saving face is a big thing, sadly, and it’s really hard to get past especially if it’s ingrained in your culture. I think it’s doubly difficult if admitting you were wrong means admitting you have caused harm, as well, especially to people you care about.

Healthcare workers didn’t have a problem masking prior to COVID. Especially in NICU, oncology, transplant and/or around vulnerable patients I never received pushback. Now ALL I get is pushback Masks were made political & the patients suffer. Wear a mask. It’s the right thing to do.

Anytime I advocate for better covid mitigations - people assume I want to lock them in their homes forever. In reality we could drastically limit covid transmission with the following: - Masks in healthcare - Clean air in public spaces - Free vaccines, tests & respirators - Paid time off

I haven’t found it particularly predictive on a daily basis, but I do find that overall trends/large shifts do tend to match slower changes in baseline. Buuut since it can also reflect other things like medications that change heart rate etc, I don’t really rely on it.

They eventually went to find masks (this was a clinic that said in their emails that masks were mandatory!), but the rest of the appointment focused on my ‘anxiety’ when they didn’t find anything on the scope.

Nicole @chronicoleyme.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Yup, I had them tell me all my sinus issues might also be from anxiety and once I acclimatize to not masking I’ll be fine, I’ll even find that getting sick is no big deal! Then they hesitated, and gave each other looks when I asked them to mask up before I took mine off for a sinus scope.

Wear a damn mask in public. Care about, fight for, model cleaner air. Don't hold a single organizing event that people would be prevented from attending due to concerns about covid. That's the work. That's what confronting disinformation head-on will look like. Confronting *all* of it.

I'm not talking down to anybody, I'm not even mad. I'm a staunch believer that when people want to join your political tent, you welcome them instead of grouching at them for not being there sooner. But if you wanna join this tent, you gotta actually join this tent. The whole thing.

I appreciate liberals suddenly caring about disinformation again, but those of us that've been tending this home fire for the past four years are gonna need y'all to recognize the covid disinformation you need to undo in your own mind if you want to stand in solidarity with disabled people.

Wise words from Matt Haig.

I Long for an Internet where it would be possible to talk in a totally nuanced way about things. Where you could say I am broadly on your side about this, but I also think about this, without people thinking you are the other side. I long for sideless conversations. Conversations as spherical as the world we live in.

Please. I am begging you. Now, while you have the luxury of preparation, start washing and sanitizing your hands like your life depends on it--it might. And if you've stopped masking in public, please resume.

I thought they would at least consider it for airborne illnesses—although they don’t think covid is. Looks like I was too optimistic. I guess I’m not shocked, though… how sad and frightening.

I felt disgusted & hurt watching the HIPAC video where every HCW but one voted against using respirators for all airborne infectious disease in hospitals Patients are dying & being disabled due to nosocomial covid. Don’t wait for a mandate. You don’t need permission. Mask up now! /1

A Plea to Maskless Healthcare Workers from Vulnerable Patients

If you see a mask - wear a mask. Better yet - wear a mask all the time and show us you understand that we're still IN a pandemic. We are depending on you to keep us safe - please don't betray that.

Disabled & chronically ill people have sacrificed SO much over the last 5 years. We’ve lost friends, family, jobs, healthcare AND the right to safely exist in public spaces. We make choices every day to protect ourselves & others… and we still get told we’re expendable. The cruelty is the point.

I made my own with a battery-powered camping fan and a filter from an air purifier (I think it was a levoit). Bigger and more effective than the tiny commercially available portable ones and not too expensive. But air fanta has a laminar flow one that I haven’t tried but looks nice…
