Yes, there are more disabled people than ever.
We have the largest population we’ve ever had.
We have more older people than ever before.
We are still in a Pandemic.
Poverty is rife.
NHS waiting lists are a record high.
And lots more too

Please stop saying "During COVID." People are still dying from this virus. People are still becoming disabled from it and contracting Long COVID. People are still not able to access the world and healthcare safely because of this virus. During COVID is right now.
Are there any investigative reporters willing to work with me on a piece?
When people say “COVID isn’t a big deal”, what they really mean is…
I believe the misinformation & disinformation from the government, politicians, and mainstream media when they use “post-pandemic”
language
I falsely believe that the COVID vaccine provides 100% protection

I can't tell you how frustrating it is that disabled people are almost always the first to warn society about different crises and we're almost always ignored. Then, when a crisis happens, we're often the first to be abandoned. You need us in your revolution. You need disabled people to survive.
The part we need to contend with is that Elon is also a product of liberal fascination. He started gaining popularity amongst liberals and the left because of Tesla, climate and clean energy, only for him, and other technocrats to be right alongside Trump at his inauguration.
An N95 mask is in the middle of the graphic. The text reads: Masking is an act of DISABILITY JUSTICE High-quality masking is one of many tools for inclusion. We can use layered mitigations like ventilation, filtration, NAAT-quality testing, closed captioning for meetings, and more to account for other disabilities, meet other needs, and be radically inclusive. We can do more than one thing at once.

Things COVID has proven:
1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely.
2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to.
3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury.
4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.
It disgusts me how people would rather kill, die, and disable than be inconvenienced. That and hurt feelings ensure we're never getting change. People are too up their own ass to be concerned with anyone else.
The Yeti of Kananaskis @kananaskinyeti They told you it was fine to infect yourself and then hid the data and made it taboo to mention it. It's obvious they wanted you sick, and by extension they don't care if you die. Why play along with that? What do you gain? Loyalty points? Stand up for yourself, wear a mask 9:38 PM • 3/7/25 • 4.3K Views
t? En(during COVID) reposted SERAPH @angelssanctum Follow The thing is with covid, it DOES have to be this extreme "all or nothing" approach, because the rest of y'all are doing nothing, while we have to overcompensate and do everything. We have to be perfect and strict about our precautions because it literally means life or death 16:04 • 7/19/24 • 75K Views 4 576 1.9K 139
This accurately describes how a lot of #COVIDinformed / #immunocompromised people feel
COVID is a mass disabling event. Long COVID is a real problem and has been actively harming high risk people the most. Not masking is a disability rights issue. Disabled people deserve to be in society and by refusing to mask if you're able to is automatically saying we don't belong here.
60% of COVID deaths in the UK have been disabled people.
That is all.
Not sure I believe in the good of people anymore
In honour of the estimated >400 million globally who've experienced Long Covid, please stop referring to the pandemic in past tense.
For real, god damnit this is the lowest bar
Disabled people can be ableist (this is called lateral ableism)
It happens due to a combination of factors: internalized ableism, mainstream media & entertainment, thinking they are “better” than certain groups of disabled people if their disability allows them to contribute more towards capitalism
I’m sending love to all of the people still taking Covid precautions five years in. I know how exhausting it can be where the majority of the world has stopped caring about it, but you’re still doing it. You’re standing for community, love, and solidarity. Keep going. 💜
I can’t emphasize enough how much accessibility benefits everyone. Ramps, elevators, ventilated air, automatic doors. You caring about accessibility is literally caring about your future. You will become disabled unless you die young. Investing in the disability community is investing in yourself.
And also went to school in Texas, taught by coaches who are also in Texas.
Privilege often makes people falsely believe they have a right to impose their will into others (especially on those who are already oppressed & marginalized)
Privilege makes you play the victim 🤡 when your power & supremacy is threatened - when your status quo is disrupted
The ableism is so deep that many would rather have their child die than have them get vaccinated for fear of becoming autistic. (Even though it’s been proven multiple times that they don’t cause autism.) This is how much society hates disabled people.
tavalen Follow disability advocacy went wrong when it became about inspiration porn and "differently abled" and savants. its incredible that that guy with no legs did a triathlon but your sister with no legs will not and she doesnt need prosthetics or five hour training days to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. its incredible that that autistic guy can look at a city from a helicopter for an hour and then draw the entire detailed skyline from memory when he lands but your autistic friend cannot and they dont need to have a special Autism Power to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. activism framed around "we are just as CAPABLE" means that when people genuinely are less capable they are left behind. activism framed around "we are just as WORTHY" is fundamental to radical compassion.
Disabled people have been shunned from society for five years due to this pandemic. Many disabled people have been abandoned by friends, family, work, school, and even medical settings. By not masking, you're automatically excluding us from society. We deserve to be a part of this world.
To be disabled is to have to spend ridiculous amounts of money on things we need to survive when stuck in a system that keeps us in poverty. Being forced into poverty and pushed out of Medicaid will make it so that many of us will die. The system isn’t broken, it’s working as designed.
