kn95s are great for pollen but unfortunately wearing one might make you look like you care about protecting disabled people and i know we simply cannot have that

If someone is going to get queer bashed if they show up as their full selves in public. If someone is going to get COVID (and become futher disabled) if they show up in public. I mean-- what is it that you expect THEM to do? Maybe YOU are the one who needs to do something to make things accessible.

Rates of death and disability from any virus are irrelevant if they are preventable. Any debate about percentages that does not first accept the need to prevent are just debates about how many people to allow to die and suffer so existing societal norms can remain mostly undisturbed.

This is what it really comes down to. Masks are a reminder the pandemic isn’t over. 🔹COVID is airborne 🔹Each infection carries cumulative risk 🔹Long COVID has no cure 🔹The pandemic isn’t over 🔹Wearing a mask is still one of the best ways to protect yourself and others Stay informed. Stay safe.

In the first panel, she says “Masks don’t work,” and the man replies “Be honest.” In the second, she says “I don’t want to wear one,” and he again says “Be honest.” In the final panel, she says “I just don’t wanna be reminded of the scary pandemic,” and the man responds, “Thank you.”

OK where I'm losing my mind, is this part. Those of us in the covid cautious community are often called anti-vax for the assertion that the vaccine does not eliminate transmission. Not saying it doesn't HELP, but it's imperfect. Have you been vaccinated? Have you had covid since? SO ARE WE WRONG?!

People with disabilities and chronic illnesses will often say we “can’t” do something when technically, we can, but not without severe consequences we’re not willing to pay. Since, in my experience…

I feel like one of the most critical understanding gaps is this: Energy equals time. If you don't have energy, you don't have hours in your day. Most people can't imagine fitting all their ADL, let alone a half-hour of comfort tv, in a single-hour day.

There's been discourse on Long Covid on this site the past few days. I think some people are thoroughly underestimating how hellish chronic illness can make you feel, even if you aren't at an immediate risk of dying.

Shared this quote from the depths of cognitive fog so I’m relieved to be able to say I stand by it 🙃 The harm ignorant therapists/psychs cause to clients with Long Covid can be just as enormous as the harm MDs inflict. (APAB until proven otherwise!)
The pandemic is an ongoing mass disabling event that’s disproportionately hurting already vulnerable groups,” including women, children, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ people, she said. “[It’s] causing a slew of chronic illnesses that have historically been inappropriately psychologized and treated with harmful methods. The field of psychology desperately needs to get up to speed.”
According to Emily, therapists need training in infection-associated chronic conditions and in the history of medical misogyny and medical gaslighting. “It shouldn’t be left to severely ill patients in an imbalanced power dynamic to try to educate them,” she said.

don't forget to register for the 5th Annual Symposium for Disability and Accessibility at Yale, 2026! dandasymposium.yale.edu/symposium CONTENT WARNING FOR DESCRIPTIONS OF PEM
When rest isn't resistance, lessons about "rest" and "self-care" from people with ME/CFS

presented by Victoria

In the background is a picture of a bird cage with a bed in itthis is PEM. there are tangles scattered around. and the following quotes: “It’s like a deep, in your bones kind of tired. Unrelenting. It’s like I’ve spent everything inside of me and there’s nothing left to give, nothing at all. “


“Feels like being poisoned. Limbs heavy like concrete. Brain feels inflamed and full, like it can’t handle any more. Eyes get puffy and sensitive. Body and brain desperately want nothing, no stimuli, no movement.”

“PEM is without doubt the worst feeling I have ever experienced. In its worst form, it feels as if my veins are filled with concrete and I will never be able to move again. Even during milder episodes of PEM i have intense feelings of impending doom and depression. I only experience depression during PEM, and it’s often the first indicator. “

“Torture 
Poison in my body
Like I am dying 
Like I am getting the flu 
Like I have been hit by a big truck 
Like my body is getting pulled apart at every limb 
Like I can’t catch my breath and my heart is going to beat out of my chest just from sitting up or going to the bathrooM”

Sensible advice on pacing. From the illustrated guide: ‚Living with Long Covid: A Young Person’s Guide‘ Recommended to anyone, young or old, with or without #LongCovid www.lshtm.ac.uk/media/97541
"Pacing is not an exact science"
Pacing is vital, but it's not an exact science. It's about give and take, making sacrifices and trying to mitigate for the things you do. It can mean having to make hard decisions, like balancing energy with work commitments.
Sometimes you have to think about what is important for your mental health, and prioritise things that bring you joy, even if it means having less energy afterwards.
But having a crash after doing too much is no joke, and it can have long term consequences. This is always in the back of your mind. Everyone is different and it can be an internal battle to figure out if you're pacing enough, or when to test the waters. It's impossible to pace perfectly.
I've been out. It was tiring but I don't feel like I'm about to collapse!
TIPS AND TRICKS:
If you're a young person with Long Covid...
• Reflect on what matters most: Prioritise things you have to do like appointments, learning, or work, but try and make time for fun things too.
• Try scheduling breaks: If you want to have the energy to do something one day, you might have to plan not to do too much on the days around it.
• Think about using mobility aids and gadgets to conserve energy.
If you want to be a good ally...
• Understand that sometimes we might have to cancel plans. It isn't fun when we have to rest all day instead. It can be boring and frustrating.
• Help us pace. Don't encourage us to push ourselves beyond our energy limits, listen to us and accept how we're feeling on the day.
• Don't question how and when someone uses priority seats on public transport or a mobility aid - it fluctuates with our symptoms.

I invite anyone in disability advocacy to listen to Black voices right now. Because there's the right way to approach discussion, and the wrong way. And the last thing *anyone* should do is tell someone that the hurt and pain that they are feeling is misplaced or invalid.

I vividly remember when one of my twitter mutuals told me in 2021 when I still couldn't walk up the stairs from COVID, "I don't care. I'm done wearing a mask. I've suffered in that thing long enough. There is a vaccine now. If your immune system sucks, that's not my problem. I don't give a fuck."

I feel this so strongly. Covid was a test of our moral integrity & decency -- *not just elites, but all of us* -- and we failed. I genuinely think one reason Covid has been memory-holed so hard, & so crusted w/ myths & conspiracy theories, is that on some level we know this & are ashamed.

With more than 200 possible symptoms, long Covid isn’t easy to treat and diagnose. Rolled-back federal funding has led longhaulers to ask: is this all in my head?
