Tatiana Maslany wearing a mask while rock climbing 🤩 Be like her and show that you truly care about #immunocompromised / #disabled / chronically ill people #TatianaMaslany #OrphanBlack #COVIDisNotOver #COVIDisntOver #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy

A screenshot of Tatiana Maslany’s recent instagram story. She’s doing indoor rock climbing. She’s wearing a black top and pants, a grey respirator mask, her back is to the camera, and she’s climbing multi-coloured rocks.

There's a lot of money at stake with a trip into space, and they value the astronauts' health. Sadly we do not value regular people's health remotely as highly. Not enough to require routine mask wearing in healthcare settings, it seems.

Technicians wear high quality masks (N95 / KN95) when preparing astronauts before take off Surely, if astronauts need protection from COVID (and other airborne viruses), immunocompromised people need it too Immunocompromised lives matter just as much as astronauts’ lives 🧵 1/2

Please protect us by wearing a mask (preferably KN95 or better) in public spaces They come either in earloops which are great but straps are more protective COVID still exists in 2026 It’s still 💀ing people & causing long term or permanent disability (LongCOVID) 🧵 2/3

When a family member (or friend) tells you “I can’t” or “I need X for safety & accessibility” or “I need you to wear a mask”, you should believe them and validate their experiences They’re the expert on their own safety, accommodations & disability / medical condition 🧵 1/2

Here’s a late Happy New Year 🥳 We’re starting the New Year in North America with overwhelmed hospitals & a flu strain that some are calling a “super flu” We’ve learned nothing from 2020 and 2021 We actually eliminated a strain of the flu thanks to mandatory masking 🧵 1/3

Things chronically ill / disabled / immunocompromised people go through: Family members & friends refusing to make gatherings accessible (e.g. refusing to wear a mask & use HEPA air purifiers) Gaslighting by family & friends Being told to try harder Being told you’re looking for attention

It’s long past time for people to confront the realities of our ableist system. They can no longer be granted the luxury of looking the other way while millions of people suffer. It’s time for change. Disabled people are not less than.

If you’re suffering and scared to admit you’re disabled… I get it. I promise you there’s a huge community waiting to welcome you and provide support. We must get loud & stay loud and fight for equality. Fight for medical care Fight for accommodation We won’t be left behind

There can be no social justice without disability justice. Yet too many people, even so called “progressives” are more than willing to leave disabled people behind. That’s why it’s so important that we take up space. That we don’t hide our suffering.

When your disabilities are invisible … it’s easy to hide. To play through the pain and pretend to be fine so you don’t have to face the discrimination & ableism that’s rampant in society. The problem is, if we hide … nothing changes. It took me years to identify as disabled

It’s still not too late to wear a mask! Covid and flu are raging. People are traveling for the holidays & getting sick in the process. A well fitted respirator like an N95 protects you and those around you. It’s an investment in your health plus it shows solidarity with the disability community.

This is one of the reasons the “Covid is just a flu” narrative always bothered me. It minimized the risk of COVID while also downplaying the severity of the flu. The flu is not a joke. It can & does kill. It can & does disable. Please get vaccinated. A well fitted mask like an N95 helps too!

Jon, Jon, and Tim, you won. It's been 6 years. There are no mask mandates, only mask bans. Whining, laughing at, and belittling people because they maturely created a new healthy habit isn't very normal, nor is it very joyful Anti-masking is a project 2025 goal literally written out on page 475

Part of me always wants to ask folks who say we're "attention-seeking" what the last effort they made to provide positive attention or (heaven forefend) practical support just for the good of it was but more of me wants to not have to listen to their bs excuses when I already know the answer anyway
