I may have just sent an email to a professional DEI mailing list abt how in person & hybrid events are harming disabled ppl & had someone respond w “I’ve traveled & not got sick & also I’m an extrovert & we did one badly org online event so they suck & zero COVID not good”
Thank you ADHD & other psych issues re not keeping my mouth shut & #KnivesOutSpoonies bc I may have then sent a reply that “personal preferences do not trump the need for changing behavior so it doesn’t actively harm ppl. This is a DEI group. This is DEI 101.”
Scientists: anecdotes are not data
Also scientists: I traveled & didn’t get COVID so in person in a pandemic is ok actually

Oh good. Someone PM’d me w a passive aggressive message abt “are you saying we should do virtual only events to accommodate a very small minority of ppl”?
No. I’m saying you should do it to not help kill us

Maybe there really need to be some “purity” tests on who is in a DEI group…
Like do you think your preference to get beers w your friends at a conference trumps the rights of others to not die from the contagion you’ll help spread?
