Arend (they/them)In just a few short years, my circles went from saying, "listen to disabled people!" to essentially excluding me from their events because they don't practice accessibility. Everyone has been so brainwashed into thinking COVID is over.
forestine@arendleejessurun i also have friends who got covid early on and suffered for it, but have decided that it must not be that bad *now* and don't take precautions anymore. aagghhh
@forestine Ugh, it's the "not so bad now" idea that just bewilders me. Yeah, the novel, life-threatening, disabling virus is not so bad now lmao. If that were the case, it wouldn't change the fact that it's a novel, life-threatening, disabling virus. People forget so quickly.
@arendleejessurun "but the government wouldn't lie to us" basically
@forestine Yup lmao. "Well, they may have lied about all that other stuff, but why would they lie about this?"
Si Dawson@arendleejessurun You're not alone. <hug>
