Disability innovation & creativity for the win!
Percussionist Kyungho Jeon, who was born blind, used to think his dream of playing in an orchestra was impossible.
So he helped create a new type of baton that lets him feel, rather than see, a conductor's movements - and now he can play with an ensemble:

🤬 “I was covered in dirt, ashes, my eyes, my mouth, everything. I was just so thirsty,” Cabrera, who entered a hotel in search of water, said. “And there were hundreds of tourists drinking, having fun and not even caring.”
“I think the biggest worry was when we have bodies in that ocean that still had not been discovered, and for us to see them snorkeling when we still haven't retrieved all our dead — that was hard," one local said.

People need to understand “vulnerable populations” aren’t groups at the bottom or far away from you. At the rate the way the state is completely dismantling public health measures & abandoning the most marginalized, pretty soon EVERYONE will become VULNERABLE. That means YOU.
Make no mistake - the CDC decision to change Covid isolation from 5 days to 1 day is an economic & political one. It’s NOT about health and it will kill & disable people. It’s to push people back to work & drive the narrative that Covid is only a risk to the “vulnerable” /1 🧵

So high risk folks are just expected to what, stay home forever (not possible for many), constantly negotiate (often unsuccessfully) to exist in public spaces like everyone else, and bear the burden in protecting ourselves & others, right?
We're not exactly people in your eyes
COVID-19 remains a real threat for high risk folks
Keeping up with vaccines, getting treated when infected is how we manage that risk
This new guidance, aligned with that of the flu,
Acknowledges the burdens and benefits of isolation
And that makes for good guidance

We’re supposed to be at home because we’re too disabled to do anything
If we dared go outside to protest or *gasp* work, then maybe we’re exaggerating & faking our disabilities/high risk status opening us up for scrutiny & surveillance
Ableism & fascism go hand in hand
I spoke with someone in a NY Democratic legislators office yesterday who basically said this and defended problematic mask ban bill A10057A. They didn’t think anyone wearing a mask for health reasons should be attending large gatherings like protests.

More kids are going to get infected. As we are approaching another surge. With a new variant that appears to be more contagious.
More kids will needlessly develop Long COVID.
Make it make sense.
In a turnaround from 2020’s strict stay-at-home COVID protocols, students can now go to class even if they test positive, Oakland school district officials said.

Immunocompromised people should not have to risk their lives in order to vote.
That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Ballot never showed, screw it. I am risking my immunosuppressed health to vote early this week, and get on metro to do it. I also want a Mystics "I voted" sticker really badly. See you Wed at the polls folks!

OMFG, do y'all know how heavy glass jars are for some disabled people?
"At Perch Coffee House near Oakland’s Lake Merritt, customers can either order their coffee to enjoy at the cafe or rent a jar to take it to-go. They can’t get it in a paper cup."

2 years ago on this day I had a series of medical crises that changed my life forever.
It costs $840/day for additional care I need. It is unsustainable. This is structural ableism.
I am crowdfunding again so I can live in the community

“What is so harmful about seeing what's happened to John Fetterman is that he's actually experiencing what many disabled people experience every day when we ask for accommodations...which is an instant doubt of our competence"

Spoke to disability advocates about that Fetterman interview. They’re not happy.

I know how high the stakes are in this election as a disabled woc. To DM me telling me I am disingenuous in only telling my story and my friends asking if I’m “ok” isn’t going to change anything.
Do you expect an apology? A retraction?
Democracy includes dissent, right?

💉🦠HUZZAH! I got my flu shot and COVID booster!! Even though the Walgreens website said there were no booster appointments today, I asked if they could give me one while I was there for the flu shot. The pharmacist was very cool about it.
DON’T GIVE UP!

“This is what disability advocates have said all along…The able and the disabled aren’t two different kinds of people but the same people at different times. Last year, I was healthy; this year, I had a breathing ailment, even if nobody could say exactly what that ailment was.”
One for the ages, by one of the best writers I've ever had the honor to be edited by. Horrific, but beautifully written.

Disabled people aren’t interested in “conversations” with total strangers about our disabilities. The power dynamic of who gets to ask a question and who is expected to reply is rooted in ableism, racism, sexism
So DON’T
#AskDontAssume
● Today, the Government launched a new campaign, developed in partnership with disabled people, aiming to start conversations about the everyday assumptions that disabled people face about their lives and capabilities with the simple call to action
