Sarah IO<p>i'm always extra-incensed by the extreme disconnect my entire queer theories or sexuality studies classes operate from around covid! we can talk about hiv/aids, informed consent, eugenics, etc all the while everyone in the room is maskless & there is always at least one coughing someone was talking about feeling safe in queer spaces w/their multiple marginalized identities, which is very real! but even still it's ironically not inclusive to further marginalized folks. so vexed by the incessant disconnect so i had to share this:</p><p>folks really gotta start questioning how radical they really are because not being covid cautious during this mass disabling event is at odds with being inclusive, accessible, intentional, community oriented, creating safe space, practicing consent, siding with the marginalized.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/leftist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leftist</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/leftists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leftists</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisairborne</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/coviding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coviding</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/covidisntover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisntover</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/airborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>airborne</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/measles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>measles</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/norovirus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>norovirus</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/rsv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rsv</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/flu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flu</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/h5n1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>h5n1</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/airborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>airborne</span></a></p>
