tomorrow is disability day of mourning after a year where ableist policies and callous disregard for human life killed hundreds of thousands of disabled people at every turn, we were reminded that preventable deaths were acceptable so long as they were disabled or elderly people

could a depressed person do this? [changes from nighttime pajamas to daytime pajamas]

As March comes I want to acknowledge the disabled, chronically ill, and immune compromised folks who have spent the entire year inside, who have suffered lack of care from health care providers because of the pandemic, &who have been so resilient in a time we shouldn’t have to be

I don't know about you, but disabled people being largely ignored in the vaccine rollout, and seeing the news that disabled people make up 60% of the UK's Covid deaths vanish from view, alongside the normalisation of daily eugenics is getting to me deeply today.

“Do you have COVID fatigue?” “no I have everybody thinks it’s fine disabled people are dying fatigue”

If you’re not wearing a mask at this point and you’re perfectly capable, able to, and have the means to get one - fuck you,fuck you, FUCK you

recent bad covid takes i’ve seen: - “everyone vulnerable has been vaccinated so why can’t we just go back to normal already” - planning holidays/parties for june 21st - talking about having time to “get hot” - saying u can’t wait to never think about covid ever again

your impatience reads as selfish instead of spending your days complaining about wanting to go back to “normal” - maybe help make that happen? (staying at home, spreading awareness, donating to charities, not contributing to numbers, getting vaccinated)

My first therapist told me you can't heal trauma while it's happening. You can learn to identify it, you can learn coping skills, but heal? You can't heal a wound with the knife still in it, yeah? We have not even nearly reached the "heal" point here. We're still in the trauma.
