Please keep inviting your disabled/chronically ill friends to things. We can't always come, but it means a lot to know we're still wanted.
My social circle has dwindled *dramatically* since I got sick, and the pandemic cut off 80% of what remained.
Even if I say no a lot it doesn't mean I never want to come. In fact, it means I want to see people more, when I'm able.
@Rhube What also helps, at least if its a publicy open event / party / concert, is live streaming. There are enough platforms for this out there, pick one.
Even if we cant take part physically, it is still a joy to at least watch from the distance.
@Rhube Not video calls, but things like Twitch or other open formats.
That perverted zoom orgies that happened during the lockdowns were certainly .. ouch. And totally ableist.
Thought up by folks who never had any kind of "issues" in the first place. *sighs*
