I just don’t really understand why it has to be like this. We could just mitigate the pandemic and not watch everyone around us get progressively more chronically ill. It fucking sucks so much.
My 20s were stolen, my art was stolen by censorship, and I’m severed from leatherqueer community

COVID prevention is suicide prevention.

If you're leaving this out of your "suicide prevention awareness month" content, you need to read up on disability justice.
