i feel like disabled people are expected to tolerate and put up with things that able-bodied people aren't. (in my experience and from what i've witnessed).

disabled people shouldn't be expected to put up with ableism, rude comments, invasive questions, and just bad faith remarks in general.

we're people with boundaries and emotions, but firstly, we're people. we shouldn't be held to a different standard of what we should think is okay. we don't exist to educate or inform. we're allowed to not answer a question, even if you meant it well.

disabled people aren't mean for setting boundaries or having their caretakers/caregivers set boundaries for them if they are not able to set them themselves.

we're allowed to have privacy.

A Conversation with Richard Siken by Thomas Hobohm

Surgical masks are ineffective at protecting you and others from respiratory illnesses. That said, any mask is better than no mask and some people just don't have easy access to KN95 or better. Here's how you can improve the efficacy of the protection a surgical mask offers you and others in four simple steps.

fold mask in half (hot dog style)

Tie a knot close to the mask's edge with the ear loop.

Expand the nose and chin area (it should be concave, coming to a point where you tied the knot)

push the outer surface of the mask inward under the knot (to form a better seal)
