[me to me] shut up i’m thinking

People hacking their lungs out around you and then being like ‘don’t worry it’s not covid’ like girl I don’t want whatever the fuck else it is you’ve got either!!

#ok i get this is a joke post but ive seen a bunch of people with chronic respiratory issues have to do this #a lady with emphysema was getting tattooed when i was and made sure the whole shop knew #a friend with pneumonia scarring on their lungs has to do this all the time #please understand that people with respiratory issues that aren't contagious have been put in a really unfortunate position by all this #like i still see people make these apologies even when they have masks on and are taking proper precautions too #also there's people like me with a bad habit of randomly choking on nothing because i swallowed weird #im putting this in the tags not the comments because i know this is a joke post and obviously #you're within your rights to avoid coughing people like keep safe and everything #but please understand not all illness ia contagious or short lived and chronically ill people dont deserve being treated #like they're contaminated. nor do they owe you a detailed medical history. a quick 'its not covid' is a valid response. #'joke' is the wrong word actually its not really a joke post. what i mean is i get that it's like. not that deep (via @authorizedpope)

covid has definitely created a new era of disabled people having to apologize for being disabled and it's not fun

why does god give his juiciest of tits to his most transmasculine soldiers.
