There’s a huge need for studies on the trans community but if you can’t demonstrate good intentions and LGBTQ competency, you shouldn’t be doing scholarship that involves the trans community. #SorryNotSorry (14/18)

So please - be kinder to disabled people speaking up for their safety. You’re just one infection or accident away from becoming like us and you won’t be treated any better when that happens. If we protect our MOST vulnerable we will ALL benefit. /14

It’s not because it’s fun for us - we want the pandemic to be over as much as everyone else (probably more). But we also recognize that if people who love us are turning on us because they blame us for losing their sense of “normal” - we aren’t safe anywhere. /12

People don’t want to accept that covid might actually be dangerous because then they have to reckon with all of the harm they’ve caused themselves and others by just lallygagging about unmasked over the last few years.

Lastly let’s remember that we all share the air so our success against Covid depends on how well we treat the marginalized & less fortunate. Masks, tests & anti virals should be freely available to all who need them - and hospitals need to be made accessible & safe for all. /end

It's so illogical and dangerous that even after seeing a virus kill tens of millions and disable many more, a majority of people still haven't adapted by making the most simple adjustments to their lives like wearing a mask or staying home when they are sick.

Leftists who minimize or ignore Covid are not only massively wrong, they're missing the best opportunity in our lifetime to change this country. If you're whole shtick is class warfare, but you can't or won't connect the dots to Covid, you shouldn't be listened to on anything.

It’s a joke to pretend you have the political will to fight our oppressors when you can’t even wear a mask to protect your comrades.

ALL political actions where you DON'T #MakeMasksMandatory send a secondary message to all viewers, that the ORGANIZERS think it's acceptable to sacrifice public health & exclude Disableds to achieve their goals; participants say that's not a deal breaker for them.

Here are 10 things professional orgs could do instead of hosting in-person conferences that are sustainable, support community, and drive networking opps for early career scholars. This is focused on history but can easily be shifted to another discipline. 1/

"Doctors are grappling with how to help"
For starters, help people not to get infected in the 1st place. Lower exposure to virus-laden aerosol particles, increase ventilation, improve filtration (including portable HEPA & CR Boxes), & N95s (including in health care settings).
The profound toll COVID-19 has had on heart health is only now starting to emerge. Doctors are grappling with how to help.

They told us we have the tools.
They cut access to them.
They told us to assess our own risk.
They removed the data.
Those of us who are aware have been relying on wastewater data, which has revealed a serious threat.
Now they want to take that.
Do you get it yet?

“There is no logical argument for allowing the spread of COVID-19 in healthcare settings…There is literally no excuse for this bizarre, unscientific mistreatment of patients other than gross incompetence, institutional negligence, and systemic ableism.”
