crashmarguliesHappy Valentine's Day! If you love me, you wear a respirator. Not will, but already do. If you don't, please (re)start!
If you love someone in a wheelchair, you check for & create access for them
If you love someone D/deaf, you learn ASL, speak slowly, and require captions
If you love someone with severe allergies, you avoid that substance as much as you need top in order to spend time with them
All my asks for clean air, respirators, and regular testing are the same! I fit the symptoms of ME/CFS via Long COVID; my best friend is bedbound except toileting and 5-minute showers because of ME/CFS triggered by a COVID infection. Another infection is likely to make us ill enough to kill us. This is not exaggeration.
Anyway, practice the love you profess to have! =)

Loving Disabled People means Protecting Us from Disease!
*KN94, KF95, N95, and P100 respirators without exhalation valves are masks that protect against disease
Most mask* advocates ask that you mask at the "Big Three" - the grocery store, the pharmacy, and the doctor's office (or clinic or hospital).
If you can, wear a well-fitting mask* everywhere you think people vulnerable to infection deserve to exist

A trio of illustrated people, all wearing masks: a light-skinned masculine person with a brown undercut giving a thumbs up, a Black woman with long hair sitting in a wheelchair, and a white red-haired feminine person with hearing aids pulling a purse over their shoulder.
