Thereโ€™s a huge need for studies on the trans community but if you canโ€™t demonstrate good intentions and LGBTQ competency, you shouldnโ€™t be doing scholarship that involves the trans community. #SorryNotSorry (14/18)

So please - be kinder to disabled people speaking up for their safety. Youโ€™re just one infection or accident away from becoming like us and you wonโ€™t be treated any better when that happens. If we protect our MOST vulnerable we will ALL benefit. /14

Itโ€™s not because itโ€™s fun for us - we want the pandemic to be over as much as everyone else (probably more). But we also recognize that if people who love us are turning on us because they blame us for losing their sense of โ€œnormalโ€ - we arenโ€™t safe anywhere. /12

People donโ€™t want to accept that covid might actually be dangerous because then they have to reckon with all of the harm theyโ€™ve caused themselves and others by just lallygagging about unmasked over the last few years.

Friend was traveling & wanted to visit - I declined because they donโ€™t take Covid precautions. They get home & tell me โ€œomg Iโ€™m so sick - itโ€™s a good thing we didnโ€™t visit as this would kill you.โ€ I asked if they considered the other people like me they exposed on travels. A ๐Ÿงต/1

Lastly letโ€™s remember that we all share the air so our success against Covid depends on how well we treat the marginalized & less fortunate. Masks, tests & anti virals should be freely available to all who need them - and hospitals need to be made accessible & safe for all. /end

We understand HOW to reduce risk and we absolutely have the tools. But if everyone waits until they are personally affected we will see countless lives lost and destroyed before we actually DO anything to mitigate Covid. /12

It's so illogical and dangerous that even after seeing a virus kill tens of millions and disable many more, a majority of people still haven't adapted by making the most simple adjustments to their lives like wearing a mask or staying home when they are sick.

Leftists who minimize or ignore Covid are not only massively wrong, they're missing the best opportunity in our lifetime to change this country. If you're whole shtick is class warfare, but you can't or won't connect the dots to Covid, you shouldn't be listened to on anything.

Itโ€™s a joke to pretend you have the political will to fight our oppressors when you canโ€™t even wear a mask to protect your comrades.

ALL political actions where you DON'T #MakeMasksMandatory send a secondary message to all viewers, that the ORGANIZERS think it's acceptable to sacrifice public health & exclude Disableds to achieve their goals; participants say that's not a deal breaker for them.

Here are 10 things professional orgs could do instead of hosting in-person conferences that are sustainable, support community, and drive networking opps for early career scholars. This is focused on history but can easily be shifted to another discipline. 1/

"Doctors are grappling with how to help" For starters, help people not to get infected in the 1st place. Lower exposure to virus-laden aerosol particles, increase ventilation, improve filtration (including portable HEPA & CR Boxes), & N95s (including in health care settings).
The profound toll COVID-19 has had on heart health is only now starting to emerge. Doctors are grappling with how to help. โ€œWe are seeing effects on the heart and the vascular system that really outnumber, unfortunately, effects on other organ systems.โ€ apnews.com/article/covid19-lโ€ฆ
