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.
Went on another walk today and the weather was perfect. Slightly chilly so I wasn’t sweating but not too cold that I was shivering
I go when there’s like no one out and cross the street if I see someone walking near me so I don’t mask (my adoptive parents are very anti vax and mask and I’m afraid of them seeing me with one on and kicking me out) but I still get nervous :/ unfortunately it’s that or not walking which helps my circulation so :/
