Doubly vaccinated, Covid and flu. Huge thanks to the NHS staff and volunteers at Douglas Community Centre in Dundee. Extremely efficient. I was by far the youngest person there 😜 My 12th Covid vaccine. #NHS #Tayside #Dundee #Scotland #Covid #vaccine #immunosuppressed

Hello disabled.social! #introduction

I'm Chad, I live in Sheffield in the UK. I'm #autistic and #immunosuppressed (psoriasis, arthritis, asthma). I'm #nonbinary #queer

I'm really into videogames (#RPG #JRPG #Rougelites #Soulslikes) and digital #accessibility. Will mostly be posting about disability, gender and gaming really. I do some public speaking about accessibility https://www.kitation.co.uk/talks/

How many #Accessibility #Telepresence units do you set up at your [ community / progressive / socially-aware / self-declared-ally / pat-yourself-on-the-back ] in-person event, so that #ImmunoCompromised / #ImmunoSuppressed folks can participate remotely.

None?

Yeah, thought so.

Also, the #ImmunoCompromised & #ImmunoSuppressed are no longer allowed to protest in #VicPol.

That definitely needs to be challenged at #AHRC - this is a law that explicitly blocks the ability of #Disabled people to participate in protected political activities, on the basis of banning their #Enabling #Assistive medical devices. https://aus.social/@BestPreston/113667451912121998

Attached: 1 image Is anyone able to explain to me how the phrase "Social Cohesion" has become so popular and if it means anything other than the expectation that we plebs should keep quiet and not rock the boat? #auspol #springst #socialcohesion

What part of #Progressive #Intersectionality is it where you're a vocal #Advocate / #Ally for every oppressed minority group, but also “fuck the #Immunosuppressed and #Immunocompromised” because you want to go to bars, clubs, restaurants, and gigs, and don't want to wear a #Mask? #Covid #CovidIsNotOver #YAllMasking #NotSoHighHorse
Pleased to manage some journal paper work this afternoon, then watch two #Worldcon panels on catchup ("Scot-ish: The Influence of Scotland on Fantasy Worldbuilding", and "It's Life, Jim, but Not as We Know It" about searching for life beyond Earth). Still #Covid neg but we're pretty sure I had it too. Picked up on a brief visit to #StAndrews. We didn't dare go to Worldcon in person for the infection risk to severely #immunosuppressed me. #Scotland #Fantasy #SearchForLifeInSpace #LifeInSpace
Envious of my friends (including some St A CS folks!) who are heading to the #Glasgow #Worldcon this week. Sadly though we have in person attending tickets we can't go. I'm far too seriously ill now to manage it. Plus the infection risk is too high for severely #immunosuppressed me. We can use the #streaming part of our tickets though, both during the event, and on catchup after through to Christmas. So will get to see lots. Have fun folks going! #Covid #GlasgowWorldcon #Worldcon2024
Huge thanks to #NHSTayside for my 9th Covid vaccine this morning. Very efficiently done, and I'm extremely grateful for the protection, even if my #autoimmune neuro disease sadly flares dramatically for 3 months after every #Covid #vaccine (yes my doctors know and we agree I keep getting them). Having had Covid 3 times in recent months I want the protection too much not to take my offered vaccines. Thanks to the #NHS. I'm severely #immunosuppressed, hence so many vaccines. #Tayside #NHSScotland
Booked in for my 9th #Covid #vaccine by #NHS #Tayside. I get so many because I'm severely #immunosuppressed. Covid vaccines have all so far triggered 3 month long #autoimmune #neurological illness #flares for me. Extremely hard to cope with. But I need my protection more. I'm lucky to generate #antibodies. #neuro #NHS #NHSScotland
Back home from my second (last dose) #shingles #vaccination at the #Dundee Vaccination Centre in the city centre. Huge thanks to #NHS #Tayside staff and volunteers again. I qualify for the shingles vaccine this year because it's being extended to severely #immunosuppressed people aged 50+. Very grateful. #vaccine #NHSScotland #NHSTayside
