The pandemic has truly shown that a big majority of self proclaimed leftists are performative as fuck.
The minute their supposed morals require them to do something that is so MILDLY inconvenient to the them (i.e. wear a mask), it all suddenly goes out the window. This is why us disabled people get left out of the conversation when it comes to leftism.
The beginning of the pandemic, as awful as it was, there was at least some glimmer of hope in regards to disabled rights. For once I saw people I know posting about protecting our lives and the importance of staying home and masking. I was getting tons of support opening up about being disabled and chronically ill.
The thing is though, that this was because they had no other choice! They had to stay home, they had to mask, because it was a mandate! So it was easy for them to think to themselves “wow, I’m so brilliant, I’m doing so much for disabled people”.
When we finally got to go back in person in university, I was so glad to see most people masking. Imagine how gullible I felt the day I walked into the lab when they had removed the mandate the night before, to see not a single person in a mask. Just for some context which makes this even worse; this was a biochemistry/ immunology lab. Our professors were quite literally the ones developing the vaccines in Ireland. Not even they could be bothered to mask.
For the first while my friends would always mask around me because I asked them to. Then it became less and less. They’d pull the ole “omg I’m so sorry I left it at home” shit. Then eventually they stopped giving excuses and just expected me to be ok with them endangering me.
I remember everyone posted about getting vaccinated the first time around. Now as each booster comes out you hear less and less about it, less people getting boosted.
And the pièce de résistance!! Leftist circles… this is the most disheartening. At every leftist gathering/ protest I’ve been to, no one is masking. There’s always this one awkward performative moment where they say some shit about “being mindful of the space you’re occupying”, and they direct people to a box of masks they brought… I’ve never seen one fucker take one. Self proclaimed socialists and communists who “protect the rights of minorities”, don’t give a fuck about disabled people.
They’ll talk the talk, but their actions are so weak. Can’t even wear a piece of fucking fabric on their faces to protect us.

Canada is facing a shortage of measles vaccines amid a rise in cases across the country and around the world, and an increase in demand.
Remaining doses of the the measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccines are being reserved for public immunization programs, according to reports posted on Health Canada's Drug Shortages website by Canada's two suppliers.
Merck Canada and GSK "have advised Health Canada that they are able to fully meet demand for these [routine childhood immunization] programs, which are managed by each province and territory," an email sent by a spokesperson for Health Canada read.
But people who aren't eligible for a publicly funded vaccine and hoped to get one through a travel clinic or pharmacy are likely out of luck for at least the next month.

Covid isn't over! We're now going into an endemic! It will continue to evolve and make new variants, each more deadly than the last. I know people will say, "It will only kill the already disabled and elderly." Thanks for condemning my life and thousands of others to death because you wanted to go back to "normal life" and didn't do the bare minimum of getting vaccinated!

erm. what the scallop. was that the barclay street flood
(this is fanart of my wonderful scaredgirls malley and. dead malley. from “exercises in gratitude (The Barclay Street Flood)” by @redeyedsheepskull. the letters on the bag are spelled in the canonical splatoon inkling language. it says rice)
alternate colors under the cut, photosensitivty and eyestrain warning
the original black and white edition! i really enjoyed doing that eel. i will include prototypes of him later in the post
the scaredgirl edition! it’s for malley, my wonderful scaredest girl ever. i cant explain why the scared color is green but it fits somehow
the deadmalley edition! i actually came up with this color scheme first, but i wanted to include a paired one for malley. besties!
the Uh Oh edition!
the RED edition. teehee
the BLOODPACT edition (i tried this color scheme with kosh’s scene and i thought it slayed. evilcore)
the blue edition! i felt sad not including a blue one, so i added this one in last minute
now for the prototypes!
the prototype..... thank you scaredgirl. she looks like a gnome or some sort of tiny elf
im so sorry dm. i wasnt sure if i wanted you further in frame but the back of your head reads less like a head and more like a loaf of sourdough bread
i loved drawing this eel. god i love eels theyre so silly

Another hc for Alice
tw for needles
👩⚕️🩺💉🩹🧑🏾⚕️🩸💊👨⚕️
Yk I like to think that Alice has needles or vaccines for Nori and Yeva since they have organic wings and they might get sick somehow because of it. Or the wings would get infected by an open wound.
When Uzi was younger, she was terrified of needles (like any little kid going to the doctor). She would tend to run or fly out of the office.
Uzi and Doll get stickers and candy afterwards tho.
But the same way lil Uzi reacted to getting a shot by Alice, Nori reacted the same way. They had to get a cat net to catch her (yk, those nets they use at the vet where they clamp it shut?)
Alice has to pin Nori down in order to give her the shot (it takes two to pin her down)
‧͙⁺˚・༓☾ ☽༓・˚⁺‧͙
Here, have some silly dialogue of the sillies :3
Alice: I’m sorry Nori, but you’re gonna have to take this vaccine. It’ll help your wing heal faster.
Nori:…
Alice:…Nori-I know you, the hard way ain’t easy. For both of our sakes you better no—
Nori darts out of the Doctor’s office before she was able to stop her.
Alice: Dangnabit Nori—! ugh! Yeva! Get the oversized cat net your sister’s escaped again!

I want you to imagine, for a brief second, that some upstart brand wanted to overtake Heinz Ketchup.
To do this they decide they’re going to launch a smear campaign against Heinz where they “prove” that Heinz ketchup is actually poison. They do this by abusing the neurodivergent children of people who essentially already believe that ketchup is poisonous.
The idea of this was to then go, “So that’s why you should eat OUR non-poison ketchup! =D” but the media reporting on their campaign needs a headline and “Ketchup is Poison” sells papers. Now next thing you know what was a small group of people is now a full on movement of thousands of people who believe that Ketchup is poison.
This upstart brand is trying desperately to go, “Nonononono we mean this ONE ketchup is poison! You should TOTALLY BUY our ketchup!” But nobody wants to listen.
Next thing you know, some guy has gone down this rabbit hole and basically put together that this was all just a fraud to sell ketchup that backfired HORRIBLY. They make a documentary exposing the ketchup brand as being fucking terrible. The ketchup brand goes bankrupt and is disgraced.
Nevertheless the ball is rolling and more people by the day continue to think Ketchup is poison.
For those who don’t know what I’ve described is the founding of the modern antivax movement and I will NEVER GET OVER THAT.

The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority is hosting clinics throughout April and May with an updated quadrivalent vaccine for infants and children.
The vaccine protects against four different strains of meningococcal bacteria. Previously, the vaccine for year-old children only protected against a single type of bacteria, according to the WRHA.
The health authority recommends infants 12 months old and children born between Jan. 1, 2020, and Feb. 28, 2023, get the injection.

hey, unfriendly reminder to always vaccinate your pets for rabies bare fucking minimum. i don’t care about what you say otherwise. go to a shelter or a low cost vaccine clinic. if you can’t afford vaccines, don’t have a pet. i am begging you, please just fucking vaccinate your pets BARE MINIMUM for rabies. i don’t care if your dog or cat is indoor only. things happen, and when they do, your pet gets decapitated and you cannot get the body back. you don’t get the ashes back. trust me, just get a rabies shot for your pet.
