Hello disabled comrades! I can’t believe we’re entering a new year… which is year six of the pandemic, hooray. I’m a firm believer that we must always have revolutionary optimism, but I can’t say it hasn’t been hard for the past few years as more and more leftists have abandoned COVID precautions. But as disabled people, we keep agitating, we keep organizing, and we keep going. Solidarity in the face of pandemic eugenics, always.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
Seen a lot more people masking recently, bird flu stuff might be spooking people? Dunno, nice to see people other than me doing it though. Still not even like 1/6 people
I wish the same were true were I live
i think it’s because people may be noticing a pattern of those around them getting more and more sick during this time of the year especially. it is really nice to see more people masking
I walked into a grocery store a couple days before christmas and the first aisle I went down had 5 people all masked up, was kinda surreal
