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.

ARMORED TALI!! as requested hehe. honestly i adore the geth influence in her me1 design. hm. or the way that quarians made the geth look like themselves- it's visible in the armor that tali is wearing. or is tali wearing the armor of geth she's taken out? very fun either way. her fits in 2+3 were cute but imo there was a certain charm to her mass effect 1 design <3 as is my humble duty i bulked up her gear. she's still dinky under it all but I like to think with the resources shepard has access to, she wouln't allow tali on the field without souping her armor way the hell up!!

quick assurance from a big fan of your art - i value your wellbeing over any pieces you could make! it’s good you’re prioritizing your health and wellness. i know that the art you’ll create will be beautiful, and it’s well worth the wait :)

Ahh thank you, this is so kind!! I really appreciate it <333

"being a good person is just so hard these days" (quote from @fandomfoodiedancer)

WEAR YOUR GODDAMN MASKS ISTG

Welp my whole family has covid except for me. My house has become a pvp zone cause they refuse to stay in their rooms.

I have a cold this week and I’m literally being responsible by not going to class and bc of the way society is structured I feel super guilty and lazy for not going to class this week

being sick means i haven't been able to go to work for the past while and while i am lucky to be in a job and position where that's alright and my boss and managers are checking in on my well-being and not rushing me back, damn i miss work :(( i won't be able to do this job forever and it's just really great

i love having an under-researched medical condition /s

Anybody know a witch who'd be willing to either send a healing spell my way or get rid of this curse I seem to have? I'd really appreciate it.

My favorite thing about wearing a mask at work is when every once in a while some random old white person will give me attitude as if it’s gonna change my mind
