no they’re so right, because a LOT of you are showing that you’re closet ableists with how you refuse to consider approaching the ‘walkable cities are ableist’ discourse (which itself is a v reductive/uncharitable way to describe the issues at hand) with ANY nuance or respect.
disabled people have been watching how you conduct yourselves during the pandemic. being a “leftist” doesnt mean you can’t be a eugenicist — a lot of you are!
with the way you treat them, is it so shocking that disabled people want to make sure they are being heard when we talk about walkable cities? because you certainly don’t listen to them now.
will add captions l8r

I feel like this needs to be said bc I haven't yet seen anyone on here talk about it:
if you get Long COVID (which can happen to anyone who gets infected including if ur vaccinated, it's just rarer) and there is no record of you having COVID it can interfere with you getting any disability benefits for it if it disables you. if you think you may have COVID you need to test, and keep a record of the positive test if you do test positive. take a picture or video of it or something. you do not want to be up against the benefits system without evidence you had COVID.
source is this article which is also a good overview of many of the issues Long Covid survivors are having to face:

Man I feel like a lot of leftist activists would do a lot better to just use common fucking language to talk about things rather than dense academic shit that's only understandable to people with PhDs and people who spend 95% of their waking life on Leftist Twitter lmao
Like, you're talking with other academics? Great, use academic language. You're a social media account trying to interact with the general public? Don't say "decarcerate", say "find alternatives to imprisonment". Don't say "collective liberation", say "freedom for all". By GOD don't say "bodymind autonomy", say "the ability to have control over our own minds and bodies".
Yes it takes a little more effort to explain shit in common language but I promise you people will stop looking at you like you have two heads and dismissing everything you say as Woke Bullshit if you like, actually get on their level, goddamn it. Not everyone has the privilege to have a graduate-school level understanding of this type of language or spend so much time reading leftist theory that they can perfectly understand this stuff.

A lot of people are talking about how we need community right now but the easiest way you can be in community with people (specifically disabled people) right now is by masking. Yet a lot of people don’t want to do that.
