That’s why many of us won’t shut up about Covid and other infectious diseases: We’re trying to help. For what it’s worth, I genuinely wish we were wrong though

For many, scent is a barrier.
Fragrance (even essential oils!) means volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can trigger a cascade of chemical reactions with indoor air.
Scents can trigger migraines, asthma, MCAS, and more.
Access starts with awareness.
Please be mindful of your scent. 2/2

You don’t have to be perfect to do better. But doing anything at all really means a lot. It shows disabled people that you care about our lives. That you see us as worth protecting. And it means the world.

Oh this would be a low cost or free service in my mind. Volunteers or low bono

Damn. That sucks. 😔
I’m late to seeing it I guess as I’ve been offline dealing with some health stuff. Disappointing but not surprising

Now?

I PROUDLY accommodate myself.
I’m proud to be disabled in general.
And I’m a better clinician for it.

3/3

I’ve since realized that is bull. I cannot simply will away the fact that I am human too. And I cannot just push my way through things that I need accommodations for.

Just a bunch of comments about the author of the article being “stupid” or cognitively impaired or whatever else

Yikes. The comment section is horribly ableist though. What is going on on Bluesky? Thought it was supposed to be better? 😞

People are upset about you venting? That’s really gross and they don’t deserve to be in your space, honestly. You are allowed to share your feelings and experiences. This is your space. I’m so sorry you are dealing with that (the abuse from people via those messages and people trying to silence you)

1. that number is just those that get caught. The actual number is likely much higher.
2. it’s not about getting it “wrong,” it’s about fraud and problematic practices. Which I expect are much more common than thought and captured based on what I’ve seen working in academia and heard from others 😅
