If you hadn’t been paying attention, Covid is still out there and sticking around! After the relativily long time and multiple lockdowns, many have returned to living as if Covid isn’t a problem anymore, but those who are disabled, immunocompromised, sick or otherwise have handicaped in the world can tell you this is still a MASSIVE issue. Bi+ individuals are suferering from the effects of long Covid at higher rates than straight, Lesbian or Gay individuals, and the continued precense of Covid represents a huge poblem for our communities.
Today, Ruby and Kate are talking about their own experiences of disability and chronic illness, as well as other issues that impact our ability to exist in the world. Tune in to find out <3
