How did Ida B. Wells and other African Americans respond to historical erasure at the 1892 world exposition held in Chicago? They organized, wrote themselves back into the record, defied racist propaganda and educated the world about their collective achievements www.lib.uchicago.edu/ead/pdf/ibwe...

Disability is the only minority group you can join at any time. No one asks for it or expects it, it just happens It’s not a moral failing. You didn’t “deserve” it. Most people will experience disability at some point in their lives So why do we treat disabled people so badly? 🧵

it’s really something to see supposed ~for the people mass movements push back on new admin’s harmful policies~ with so few masks folks public health is only as good as the bodies thru which it is applied—no one’s doing it for you anymore. if you don’t participate in prevention, it doesn’t work.

i repeat myself: when we say “you can become disabled at any moment” it doesn’t just mean you could have an aneurysm, it also means the state could declare you “unfit”— in need of “reparent”ing— for things recently considered normal.

Hot take: If you are planning on seeking citizenship in another country, don’t get an official autism diagnosis. Whether or not the country says it will exclude you, in fine print, because of it, don’t give them the opportunity to disqualify you because of a disability. Ableism is global.

Just got back from a training on sexual victimization prevention, and it was brought up once that people with disabilities are much more likely to be victimized. When asked for specific resources for certain disabilities, there weren't any. It's like we aren't worth learning how to protect.

Republican Congressman Andy Biggs has introduced a bill to abolish OSHA. Workers are already struggling with workplaces that aren’t Covid safe. We’ve failed to upgrade air quality or install any other meaningful mitigations for an ongoing pandemic This bill would be devastating for worker’s rights

In my experiences as a human and as a therapist, I’ve learned there is a certain percentage of people who need to experience things firsthand before they truly understand what it’s like - words, warnings, other people’s experiences, etc just don’t get through.

Include disabled people in your resistance planning. In many ways we’re built for resistance, as we have to find creative and sustainable ways to survive every single day. This is the time for intersectionality and community care. We need to work together and save one another.

JD Vance spearheaded a federal ban on mask mandates. He said it was “a massive victory for personal freedom in this country.” So wear a mask because JD doesn’t want you to. Wear a mask to make them harder to ban. Wear a mask as a form of community care, solidarity and resistance.

Why do many disabled people urge you to wear a mask? Because we know how the system works. Viruses can disable you and once you become disabled, doctors won't listen to you, you'll have to fight to receive any assistance, and you'll get denied over and over again. We want you to mask to spare that.

For every executive order, bill or funding cut that targets marginalized people, let’s counter with an act of kindness. Cut SNAP funding? Give to a community fridge Cut PrEP funding? Give to AIDS organizations. Mask bans? Wear a mask! Attacks on trans rights? Amplify trans creators.

Patients who wear a mask to access healthcare are NOT anxious. Hospital acquired COVID has a 10% fatality rate. Many of us are already severely chronically ill. There’s a pandemic that is airborne and currently ongoing. Adapting to a threat is not anxiety, it’s a justified, rational response

Don’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask. You’re protecting your health & the health of your community. You’re helping ease the burden on our healthcare system. You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable

The next pandemic? H5N1? Is already knocking at our doorsteps. Whole states have shut down poultry operations. 70+% of cows in CA are infected. We have multiple animal to human cases. It only takes one more step to go human to human. And it is going to be a lot more deadly than COVID.

If you find that your uninformed personal opinion disagrees with expert consensus on a technical topic, please consider that “all the experts know something I don’t” is a much more likely explanation than “I alone solved a complex problem that all the world’s experts have long been studying.”

Anybody sharing their thoughts today who doesn't mask or center disability justice + marginalized voices isn't serious about any future where anyone might exist who isn't privileged enough to have their health, so don't listen to them. Find a mask bloc near you + mutual aid groups, get involved.

When we talk about the power imbalance in healthcare …this is what we mean When you advocate for yourself or a loved one, especially if you’re marginalized, there’s always a risk you could be removed for “aggression” It’s a tightrope act and it shouldn’t be. Requesting staff mask is NOT aggression
