Yes, there are more disabled people than ever. We have the largest population we’ve ever had. We have more older people than ever before. We are still in a Pandemic. Poverty is rife. NHS waiting lists are a record high. And lots more too

Please stop saying "During COVID." People are still dying from this virus. People are still becoming disabled from it and contracting Long COVID. People are still not able to access the world and healthcare safely because of this virus. During COVID is right now.

Are there any investigative reporters willing to work with me on a piece?

When people say “COVID isn’t a big deal”, what they really mean is… I believe the misinformation & disinformation from the government, politicians, and mainstream media when they use “post-pandemic” language I falsely believe that the COVID vaccine provides 100% protection #COVIDisNotOver

I can't tell you how frustrating it is that disabled people are almost always the first to warn society about different crises and we're almost always ignored. Then, when a crisis happens, we're often the first to be abandoned. You need us in your revolution. You need disabled people to survive.

The part we need to contend with is that Elon is also a product of liberal fascination. He started gaining popularity amongst liberals and the left because of Tesla, climate and clean energy, only for him, and other technocrats to be right alongside Trump at his inauguration.

Things COVID has proven: 1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely. 2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to. 3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury. 4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

COVID is a mass disabling event. Long COVID is a real problem and has been actively harming high risk people the most. Not masking is a disability rights issue. Disabled people deserve to be in society and by refusing to mask if you're able to is automatically saying we don't belong here.

In honour of the estimated >400 million globally who've experienced Long Covid, please stop referring to the pandemic in past tense. For real, god damnit this is the lowest bar

Disabled people can be ableist (this is called lateral ableism) It happens due to a combination of factors: internalized ableism, mainstream media & entertainment, thinking they are “better” than certain groups of disabled people if their disability allows them to contribute more towards capitalism

I’m sending love to all of the people still taking Covid precautions five years in. I know how exhausting it can be where the majority of the world has stopped caring about it, but you’re still doing it. You’re standing for community, love, and solidarity. Keep going. 💜

I can’t emphasize enough how much accessibility benefits everyone. Ramps, elevators, ventilated air, automatic doors. You caring about accessibility is literally caring about your future. You will become disabled unless you die young. Investing in the disability community is investing in yourself.

Privilege often makes people falsely believe they have a right to impose their will into others (especially on those who are already oppressed & marginalized) Privilege makes you play the victim 🤡 when your power & supremacy is threatened - when your status quo is disrupted

The ableism is so deep that many would rather have their child die than have them get vaccinated for fear of becoming autistic. (Even though it’s been proven multiple times that they don’t cause autism.) This is how much society hates disabled people.

Disabled people have been shunned from society for five years due to this pandemic. Many disabled people have been abandoned by friends, family, work, school, and even medical settings. By not masking, you're automatically excluding us from society. We deserve to be a part of this world.

To be disabled is to have to spend ridiculous amounts of money on things we need to survive when stuck in a system that keeps us in poverty. Being forced into poverty and pushed out of Medicaid will make it so that many of us will die. The system isn’t broken, it’s working as designed.

To be disabled is almost always to be traumatized. It’s living in a body that can’t keep you safe. It’s doctors dismissing you. It’s family and friends abandoning you. It’s living in a society that doesn’t see your value. It’s constantly having to prove your life is worth living.

They love disabled people in “inspirational” stories, until we ask for healthcare, jobs, and rights.

People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all of your needs met. If you believe this, you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled.

Mask bans kill disabled people. It’s a eugenics tool. By others not masking in solidarity, you’re saying your comfort and convenience is more important than our lives. Abled comfort and convenience do not outweigh disabled lives and safety. Does your “we keep us safe” include disabled people?

No one is immune from disability. It can happen to anyone at anytime, regardless of how 'young and healthy' you are. Stop believing you will be the exception, and start engaging in disability justice. It's far easier to fight for better support and treatment while you still have your health.

Please keep in mind that many of your disabled friends likely need more accommodations now and in the coming days. AND many of your neighbors will BECOME disabled in the coming days. Don’t wait to educate yourself on how to not be useless.

Disabled people are worthy of relationships. We’re worthy of sex. We’re worthy of being romanticized. Disabled people are worthy of love. Happy Valentine’s Day to all disabled people. 🥰
