we have seen a lot of advice posts about like. actionable ways to get involved with current uspol stuff. a lot of them are good and important for an audience with a certain amount of able-bodied-ness. we often feel bad reading them because we are dying slowly in a city with few maskers and no help with hygiene, homecare, or getting out. even the most basic suggestions on these lists are often unsustainable for us.

if you want to make a difference, and you are able bodied, please ask folks in your community what kinds of mundane survival tasks they need help with. Especially disabled folks, especially housebound folks, and especially BIPOC, queer and trans folks who struggle even more to get those care needs met.

I guarantee there is someone in your community who cannot leave home and is maybe even slowly dying like we are and would kill for even a little good help from someone who actually listens to their needs instead of deciding for them what they need.

Also, wear a mask in public and talk to your circles about wearing masks in public because the unmitigated viral spread is a large reason why many of us are housebound.
