It still just appalls me that people will look you square in the eye and tell you that they won't mask because it's inconvenient to them.

I find it fascinating that every time I say hey, it'd be great if more people were masking at this event, out of nowhere someone who calls themselves a medical professional (usually because they don't want to admit what that actually means, often because their profession doesn't provide them with any special knowledge about masking safety) to lecture me about all the things they suddenly think that I don't know, and half the time to present completely incorrect facts - most recently that people who mask incorrectly are increasing their infection risk.

If you have trouble hearing or understanding me through a mask, I will happily compensate, the same way I would anyone who has trouble hearing or understanding me regardless of masking!

If you don't like how masks feel, I guarantee you there are different types of masks or additional masking equipment that I can help you get that will make you comfortable!

In both cases of people more regularly wore masks, there would be a whole industry out there of products and services ready to help you handle the issues!

There are so few places that test or mask that unless you proactively make it clear your event does either or both, many disabled folks will just assume they can't attend. There are people out there who have genuinely given up even trying to be part of the world anymore. That's why you don't hear from them anymore, so many people made so many excuses that they gave up.

Masking isn't my accessibility issue. But I have had so many people mow me down, ignore me, or treat me like an inconvenience that I am willing to be the cranky and noisy person on behalf of people who do need masking, in hopes that other people will do the same for me when something is physically inaccessible. Most disabled people are just so fucking tired of being dismissed or derided for attending to their own needs, it's often easier to do your best to help someone else instead.

I don't know, this is just a venting post, but after I went to an ADA conference for work and was literally the only one wearing a mask for the entire conference, and then having my friends let me down again, I just needed to say it.

It feels like that everyone wants a revolution but no one wants to do the dishes kind of problem. I'd just love to see one able-bodied person run a fully masked event of any kind. Just once.

I hate to be all "cis good" on main, but if it weren't for the cis queer women that welcomed me into womanhood idk where I would be

this pride month i want everyone to consider the benefits of abolishing the sex binary

i feel like so many people misunderstand redemption arcs. they’re not about forgiving past actions. they’re not about softening previous behavior. redemption arcs are about realizing past behavior was heinous and resolving to be better, do better. that’s why so many redemption arcs fall apart upon close scrutiny.
