#are all crazy anti-vax pro-Trump nazi conspiracy theorists

Idc who this upsets, but I actually hated the whole forced mask wearing era with a burning passion. As someone with epilepsy which is aggravated by heat, it was absolute hell to have to wear that shit because (and fuck what y’all abled-bodies wanna say) it DOES impact my breathing and make me overheat. And I actually cannot just ‘go get a medical exemption’ because a) they don’t give that shit out like free candy, I had to go pay $500 to a neurologist to get that lil note, and b) I could staple that med cert to my fucking forehead and still get people losing their minds every time I went anywhere without a mask. Everyone like ‘oh disabled people are so terrified of COVID-19 so you should think of them before ragging on masks like this’ as though everyone ain’t already spent the last three decades of my life not giving a singular shit about my disability, but now suddenly want to act like they care about disabled people? Why tf should I care about giving anyone the spicy cough when no one has ever given a fuck how many seizures their actions cause me? Y’all want me to put my own health at risk by wearing this mask, so you don’t get a lil sore throat, when y’all will remain deliberately oblivious to epilepsy and other heat-related illnesses, right up until someone dies, and then you’ll still have a giggle about that too? Way more people be dying every day from heat-related illnesses than from COVID-19, so where’s my mandatory air-conditioning and icepack stations at every street corner? Fuck hand sanitizer stations, provide me a free cold drink. Additionally, mask wearing was the ONLY thing people got this fucking turnt about too. It’s not like any of y’all were social distancing (something which would have actually helped me with my disability lmao). No one was getting booted out of stores for standing on my damn heels every time I had to get in a queue. Anyway, after the first twenty times I got asked to leave a store for not wearing a mask (despite having that magical medical certificate) I made up my own mask by getting four of those ‘valves’, absolutely gutting the inside of them to allow unrestricted airflow, and then stitching them into a linen mask. Still uncomfortable, fo sure, but a lot better than having to deal with hot air on my face and under my sunglasses while already struggling not to pass out in the middle of the Australian summer. 

#and like #the amount of fake news about this topic too #everyone still think that the only people who had a problem with mask wearing or COVID-19 policies or whatever #are all crazy anti-vax pro-Trump nazi conspiracy theorists #when actually most people speaking up and protesting were people like me #people with disabilities whose lives were (ironically) being put on the line by these COVID policies #or doctors who were asking very reasonable questions about the safety of these vaccinations #(and especially irt the safety of women who we later found out are actually at a much higher risk of vaccine injury) #(but lol we still don't care about that bc fuck womens health amirite) #or lawyers who were concerned about the legal framework these COVID-19 policies were being implemented under #concerns that have now come to fruition #since many of these laws that were brought in 'just for COVID-19' are still in effect and still being renewed and applied to other areas #like for example #cracking down on protestors with the threat of decades in jail #especially if those protestors inconvenience a coal mine #but you wouldn't hear about any of these qualified people and their qualified concerns in the news #bc that doesn't make headlines like 'nazis form a hippy commune and plan to eat your babies' did #honestly this whole past couple years just made me hate society even more lmao #epilepsy #disability #ableism
