Most chronically ill people hide their conditions. In fact, COVID blew our covers for many of us. We had to retreat or reveal to our employers that we were high risk. This “sicknote culture” fiasco is highly triggering because it reinforces a stereotype of us gaming the system.

Many on the left failed to listen to disability activists when they warned that colluding with the right to end a pandemic would enable eugenicist beliefs about illness and health to be mainstreamed culturally and politically. Now here we are

So funny that me waffling about the crossover between lyrics and poetry was basically my entire MA body of work lmao. Yes I got a distinction, no I have nothing insightful to offer the discourse 😅

Rishi Sunak introduced Eat Out To Help Out in July 2020 crowding unvaccinated people into restaurants. He successfully argued against a “circuit breaker” lockdown that September with herd immunity ghouls invited to the meeting. He caused disability and is now terrorising them.

This is why I think the leftist tendency to dismiss online disability advocacy and activism is dangerous.
For many disabled people, 'showing up' in person isn't possible; that this has to be explained to progressives is depressing.

What I find so annoying about Sunak's speech yesterday is that there were plenty of people during the acute phase of the pandemic who warned that letting lots of the population get sick would have a detrimental impact on the economy - they just didn't want to know.
