You’re supposed to care when the canaries start dying. You’re not supposed to just tell the sick ones to shut up.

Is the attachment to indoor dining an attachment to having servants?.

In the 80s, we held concerts to raise money to fight AIDS. In the 2020s, we hold concerts that kill and disable people with COVID for the benefit of artists who perform cheap knock-offs of 80s music. It’s all very dystopian.

Nah we’re supposed to just let people spread a deadly and disabling virus without any sort of repercussion. Otherwise we’re “cops.”.
i know a lot of people are against shaming but there honestly has to be social consequences for behavior like this.

Hi @actupny: multiple disabled people are being harassed and having their accounts locked out. This is connected to the misuse of your Twitter account and your irresponsible response to that misuse. Fix this.
While in the middle of CFing for bills meds and groceries Twitter decided to lock my main account. I am doing my best not to panic as this is my most vital lifeline and I need groceries. Please keep sharing these posts now that Twitter has made it Even harder to get needs met.

Covid disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. If you’re not covid-safe, you’re not anti-racist. You’re not an ally to queer people. Or to disabled people. Covid denialism is bigotry.

You don’t actually have to kill and disable people just because the state tells you that you can. You can make the personal choice to not kill and disable people. You can even ask other people to also not kill and disable people.

Please reconsider going to crowded events, especially during covid surges. If you must go, wear the best mask you can. And if you still get sick, stop and take care of yourself. Long covid is no joke and very little is worth risking your health for.

No, that’s COVID’s world, and many people are going to die for it. Even more are going to become disabled for it. Lots of those harmed won’t even have been there. Chappell profited nicely off it, though, as did every other artist who performed.

Me: are the people attached to eating in restaurants attached to having servants?. Some rando: why do you want people to starve, monster???. Some other rando: why do you hate food, (insert ableist slur here)?. Yet another rando: why do you hate fun, you anti-social loser?.

I mean, there are plenty of ways to gather to eat food that don’t harm and exploit others. Imagine including everyone in this important, universal experience. Wouldn’t that be nifty?.
I don’t dine indoors because of covid but I’m actually really sick of pretending like gathering with people to eat food is some petty bourgeois desire instead of one of the most universal human experiences we have.

Concerts are a high-risk setting. Covid is airborne. Think about how much smoke you inhale at a concert, whether you smoke or not. Think about how heavily people are breathing as they sing and scream and dance. Or have we given up on thinking?.
@OneJazzyBoi @_pem_pem Outdoor transmission is negligible; it’s so bizarre to see folks who pride themselves on being COVID experts blatantly ignore this.

How can you all just repeatedly infect children with a virus that will destroy many of their lives? You might be giving informed consent to be repeatedly infected, but they’re not. Their rights and their health are being violated so that you can cosplay normalcy.

This is one of the most dishonest, manipulative threads I’ve read in a long time. Bravo, bigot.
A person who gets COVID bc of an unmasked exposure does not deserve to die. A person who gets HIV bc of a condomless exposure does not deserve to die. We have a duty to care for people regardless of health status, and to protect their lives as best we can no matter their actions.

“It is estimated that 6% of American adults currently suffer from persistent symptoms that can linger for weeks to years after COVID-19 infection.”. Enough already: T cell inflammation and SARS-CoV-2 virus persist in Long Covid.

Disabled people who were able to work before covid have been pushed out of their jobs because their employers were eager to “return to normal” and because their co-workers just went along with it, making no demands for safe workplaces, just abandoning their disabled peers.

Sick people are being forced to pay for care in settings that make them even more sick. All because we insist on pretending covid is over. Every time you choose not to mask in public, you give permission for this. Wear a damn mask. Lives literally depend on it.
Because they won't mask, they keep making @Tinu sick at chemo, which she needs because COVID left LC & reactivated her CLL (cancer). Care for all this costs. A lot. Please help. Small amounts add up & QRT to 🚀. #MutualAidRequest.#MaskUpInHealthcare.

The so-called leftists who shit on disabled people begging for covid to be taken seriously are aligned with Zionism. Hand in your watermelon badges and stop cosplaying activism.
It's official: Mask ban in Nassau County, New York passes along party lines, 12-0 (7 abstentions). It makes wearing a mask a misdemeanor (with unclear health and religious exceptions) and gives police the power to fine people wearing a mask $1,000 and sentence them to jail time.

solution to these false divides? more research for postviral illness, treatments, greater access to disability insurance. i don’t see this happening with covid “militancy” around masking. i see this happening through love and solidarity and organizing, clear-eyed, to win.

This is the very unfortunate result of @actupny members taking it upon themselves to use the organization’s Twitter account to partake in a harassment campaign targeting covid-safe disabled people. AUNY’s very poor response only made things worse.
For reasons unknown to me @actupny decided to share my gfm. I have not interacted with them or others in this latest round of discourse. Now I’m getting dm’s from strangers letting me know that I am part of a clique, I’m not, & that they won’t be supporting me. Unsettling.

COVID is a genocide. Governments don’t listen to the people they’re genociding. So when you tell those people to stop being angry with you for the ways that you participate in their genocide, and to take it up with the government, what exactly do you think you’re doing?.

You’re supposed to feel shame when you harm other people.
Maybe y’all wouldn’t be so critical of shame if you weren’t so… ashamed?. As this relates to the ongoing pandemic, why would you feel shame when being reminded of the actions you’re choosing not to take?. Is it because you know your actions are harmful but you’re deep in denial.

The covid genocide is white supremacy, though, just like the other genocides that are currently happening. Capitalism and white supremacy are the common denominators. Minimizing any of these connected issues perpetuates them all.
It just kinda gives "this is an issue that affects me so this is the worst thing ever". Like, baby, have you heard of white supremacy? Let's zoom out.

Victim blaming + conditional allyship. Vicki is trying her very hardest to be a bigot today, which is saying a heck of a lot.
Maybe it’s time for the PM to step back from T&R for awhile. Let things simmer down. It’s not going anywhere right now anyway with the way these Chiefs are behaving. He has an economy to work on and finish the fight with Covid. Maybe by then they’ll be ready to be at least civil.

@ChanLPfa You’re already putting students at risk and you haven’t even been elected. Doesn’t bode very well.
Confidential details relating to student support group meetings were posted on Twitter. The public sharing of meeting links intended for students creates situations of risk, including attacks on individuals and cybersecurity threats.

This. You can be the best customer in the world and the server will still have to behave as though you could turn on them on a dime if the slightest thing goes wrong. They don’t know you. They know that lots of customers abuse them, even the seemingly nice ones.
@queersettler Servers at restaurants have an extra layer of abuse added to this when their wages are made or lost based on the whims of petty tyrants. You might not be one of those people, but they have to treat you like you are.

The staying masked in your own house while the air filters after visitors leave is the most annoying part of having visitors who won’t mask. But it’s worth it to avoid getting sicker.
If you use an home air filter also remember you aren’t even in HEPA filtered air for an hour. Check your manual. So don’t take off your mask - even to start eating - right when you get in the filtered air if you are susceptible. Also look up how ceiling fans can help.

We called it the AIDS Holocaust. We refer to Zionists and to residential school deniers as genociders. Vilifying disabled people who are rightly angry about their genocide is as genocidal as vilifying any other marginalized population for being angry about their genocide.
