I saw a tweet that said "I miss the pre-panini days when we could send kids to school with cold symptoms, without having to see a doctor" and I just want to say, no?? can we leave those days behind? can we NOT have a culture where kids OR adults have to perform labor while sick??

We need to ban school attendance rules that compel parents to send sick children to school where they can infect others, as well as rules which unfairly penalize chronically ill & disabled children who cannot attend as many days of in-person classes.
and when the principle tells you you cant keep them home cause theyll miss too many days cause of a cold/flu? what then? asking for myself 🥲

Correct! Don't do this. Instead, hire a sensitivity reader, who has lived experiences that you do not, who can help edit your work to make it more authentic and less racist. I am a sensitivity reader for Black, queer, and disabled characters. Don't be racist. Pay a Black woman.

This is a 🧵about why it's so important to get medical help, even if you can't afford it. It is so hard to break the habit of ignoring our own pain, because poverty won't let us get help. Because we have to. The number one killer in the US isn't heart disease. It's capitalism.

Telling systematically oppressed ppl that we must be kind to our oppressors ignores the fact that their policies & practices will not change based on our kindness. Racism was not created because we weren't nice to them. Our kindness will not fix it. It's not on us. It's on them.

If you're a yt person who calls your Black female friend 'strong' & wondered why it upset her, here is why.
Being 'strong' is not a compliment when systemic racism gives us no choice. If we're not strong, we're dead.
Don't tell us we're strong. Help us so we don't have to be.

I'm very tired of being asked if I'm 'comfortable' going to restaurants or events. It's not a question of 'comfortable', it is an inability to survive being infected with covid due to being immunocompromised. It is already being chronically ill & disabled & not wanting to die.

They don't.
I'm immunocompromised.
When ppl say 'only people with underlying issues die'? That's me. I'm one of the ones for whom the vaccine isn't fully effective, who can't safely travel, whose death gets dismissed as inevitable. Whose life gets treated like it doesn't matter.
I don't think abled people understand what the pandemic has been like for immunocompromised people.

Millions of people are living with the uncertainty of inadequate healthcare coupled with inescapable mandated poverty. Medical care shouldn't be a privilege. It should be free. Instead, it's denied to those who need it most & gatekept behind a paywall thousands of dollars high.

All of this is why I avoided treatment for over 20 years, until it was clear that I had no choice. Regardless of your ability to pay, you deserve to live. Poverty is not a moral failing. Your life has value beyond measure. If you are in pain, please get help before it's too late.

Dear reader, I married her 💒🇹🇭🇯🇲🏳️🌈💞
Because I couldn't afford treatment, I didn't try after the first huge medical bill. I ignored migraines, vision & hearing loss, & periodic paralysis. I crowdfunded a wheelchair. I tried my best to survive.
And then I fell in love with someone who forced me to get an eye exam.

This has happened to me and many of my friends. Because able bodied people don't see wheelchair users as people. They see us as obstacles, issues, something to 'deal with' or 'fix'. It is dehumanizing & degrading. Don't ever touch a disabled person or their chair without consent.
Well, it finally happened. Someone grabbed my wheelchair and pushed me down the street — as I repeatedly asked them not to — because “I was in the way.” I would like for that to never happen again thx.

The combination of extreme constant pain & the knowledge that healthcare is unattainable leads to not getting help until it is too late. It is a trap that has taken countless lives. People who deserved to live but were told that healthcare was only for the privileged. Not us.

The doctors say that if I had not gotten treatment when I did, I could have died. I have to be extremely diligent with my medication to prevent this. Medicare refused to cover it so I had to pay out of pocket. 1 month of the generic costs $260. That is over 1/3 of my SSDI check.

One of the reasons plastic straws only on request doesn't work is that it enables gatekeeping & discrimination. Servers have interrogated myself and many other chronically ill disabled people to determine if we're 'disabled enough' to be allowed to drink water.

And that is why we need to set a balance on this. Plastic straws are a necessary help to many with disabilities and the outright ban would rob people of this tool. I feel plastic straws should be available on request.

I will probably get a lot of grief for saying this, but maybe mid pandemic with people dying of treatable non-covid causes because every ICU for 3 states around them is full, is not a good time to have mass gatherings & conventions. Please get vaccinated & be safe if you can.😢
