In a world full of people who only care about the needs of the disabled/chronically ill when they're earning kudos for it, be someone who supports those needs even when nobody is there to witness it. Make your space/event accessible ahead of time. That includes masks. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

Do not cede hard-won ground to those who will never accept you as an equal. They will only demand more "compromise" in which they will never yield anything themselves. You and your rights are worth defending.

Then make it clear and make it a mandate, at least inside of NHS facilities. That way those of us who are immune compromised/suppressed won't constantly face pushback from our health care workers that they "don't have to" because the government doesn't say they have to.

β€œI know a disabled person who takes their Motability car on holiday” is an absolute zinger of a comeback.

Famously, disabled people only go to the supermarket and hospital. I’d personally put a ban on mainland Europe.
