It sucks to be #HighRiskCovid19 and so medically vulnerable like this, I will keep trying to be open about my accessibility and safety needs, and I hope others (especially and particularly healthcare workers) wear masks when and if they can so I can have a better quality of life

You’re being a leader in caring about disabled & #immunocompromised people

Don’t be afraid to stand out 😷

From my Snapchat memories

Didn’t expect the pandemic to still be ongoing in 2025

The World Health Organization acknowledged the ongoing pandemic in Dec 2024

Please wear a mask in public to protect yourself, your family, friends & community from COVID & LongCOVID (long term / permanent disability)
#HighRiskCovid19 ICYMI I have Aplastic Anemia. I have low counts of all 3 blood cells, including White Blood Cells. I have a compromised immune system, please wear a mask when you go out to protect people like me

Seeing a mask doesn’t “salt the vibes”

It does the opposite

It reminds me that there ARE people out there that care about their own health and #immunocompromised / disabled people’s health

When people say “COVID isn’t a big deal”, what they really mean is…

My ableist & health supremacist views are more important than #immunocompromised / disabled people’s experiences & that means I don’t believe it’s necessary to wear a mask to protect them

1. You’re more #HighRiskCOVID19 than you realize.

2. None of us are safe until all of us are safe, especially when it comes to COVID and Avian flu and other viruses that have “pandemic potential”.

Update: it turns out it’s possible to get Katie a private hospital room, which would keep her far safer as an #immunocompromised person who’s extra-vulnerable to healthcare-acquired infections. But the hospital charges $195, so…crowdfunding campaign! chuffed.org/project/post...

Post-Surgical Infection Control
I have a surgery to relieve my primary site of endometriosis coming up on March 10th. I am immunocompromised, and expect surgery and hospitalization to make my MCAS and immune system generally more up...

My friend Katie has an upcoming surgery (on her birthday, of all days!), and needs community support during her recovery. It would mean the world to me if you’d check out her surgery+birthday wish list or consider sharing: bit.ly/Katie-surger... 💜

Peach and purple graphic with a photo of Katie, a white woman with curly brown hair, glasses, and a purple top. Header text reads, help Katie recover from surgery. Verified by sinistralscribe.bsky.social. Body text reads, Katie is a longtime arts volunteer, community advocate, caregiver, and cat parent who has become increasingly disabled & immunocompromised with fibromyalgia, EDS, endometriosis, MCAS, and intracranial hypertension. She’s getting a long-awaited surgery this March (on her birthday!), and needs community support during her recovery. Check out Katie’s surgery + birthday wish list today, and please share! bit.ly/Katie-surgery-birthday-list

It’s a NECESSITY

Keep reminding them that your life matters 😷

Something that health privileged people do:

Thinking & telling others that they’re an ally to #immunocompromised people, while in REALITY they’re actually harming us, silencing us, and wishing us to 💀

One of the easiest ways to combat ableism against immunocompromised people is to wear a mask in public spaces

It's not too late to start again if you've stopped

The answer to #ableism should NOT be to downplay or erase our identities, but to REMIND people that we have worth

We ARE worthy

It seems like you’re trying to erase our identity

We ARE #disabled / #immunocompromised / chronically ill

You do NOT get to decide how we choose to express that, or build community or explain why we wear a mask in public

“We were all in this together” until certain people decided to deny science & put their political ideology above saving lives

They were always there, but they were waiting for permission from their favourite politicians to abandon #immunocompromised people

If an #immunocompromised person tells you they require certain accommodations (whether small or large, formal or informal gathering) then they DO

The best approach is to listen & learn, rather than gaslighting them or minimizing COVID

It takes privilege to read posts online advocating for #immunocompromised rights & masking in public spaces, then scroll past & go 🤷‍♂️ or 🙉🙈

You won’t say it out loud or even type it, but you’re silently gaslighting & invalidating immunocompromised people

When I see people wearing a mask, I see:

People who care about #disabled & #immunocompromised people

People who care about their own health

People who care about their family’s, friends’ and community’s health

Now imagine how isolating it is being #disabled & #immunocompromised & #chronicallyill and living through an *ongoing* pandemic, having to see people’s smiles while they breathe a deadly & disabling virus into your face 🤡🙃

no one cares when you're diagnosed with a chronic illness. We are still expected to function like nothing changed. Yet, for us... everything has. Our world has been flipped upside down. You'll never understand how isolating that feels until it happens to you.
