I doubt there’s any sort of database of all legacy checkmarks, so I do wonder how it will be implemented. Seems like removing all non paid checks overnight would end up a disaster — PolitiTweet.org

@ceej_lol @DavidAstinWalsh @wsbgnl @kaitlinrh That’s bc majority of ppl have gotten at least 1 shot. That doesn’t mean the vaxx doesn’t help prevent death, vaccines are great! but they’re not equally protective. Promoting the lie that we’re in the pandemic of the unvaxxed is used to blame vulnerable ppl for their own deaths — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidAstinWalsh @wsbgnl @kaitlinrh U asked why ppl keep replying to Mindy, it’s bc her takes are not “reasonable” & she has a history of inciting attacks on medically vulnerable ppl trying to spread the word about COVID’s very real long term harms. She’s also spread the lie that majority of ppl dying are unvaxxed — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@DavidAstinWalsh @wsbgnl @kaitlinrh It’s not a twitter “beef” it’s ppl w reasonable platforms continually pushing minimizer rhetoric and instigating cycles of harassment and abuse against medically vulnerable ppl who continue to be marginalized. I don’t think anyone calling disabled ppl “freaks” has the high ground — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@DavidAstinWalsh @wsbgnl @kaitlinrh Ok but this isn’t a way for people to assert some sense of “agency”, and I do think that’s a bit dismissive. Many of us also do tons of advocacy offline as well, but calling out denialism/fatalism whatever u want to call it is important when it comes to narratives — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

If you are lying to attack & instigate a pile on of an immunocompromised person for using their platform to share info about COVID/long covid, you cannot get mad when they reply and call u on it. I don’t care if you have 25k or 2.5M followers, u can’t just lie abt ppl w/ impunity — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ If you’re going to post about me, which you have, I’m going to respond. Just wanted to make it clear that you can’t provide a *single* example to back up any of the attacks you made that triggered the pile on. Got it! Just wanted to be clear on that. https://t.co/Eg7UUjTxLT — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ You came out of nowhere accusing me of being a “fear monger,” without zero evidence, leading to a wave of ableist minimizers attacking me and other medically vulnerable ppl. If u don’t want me replying then don’t come into my mentions posting lies and attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ I take accusations of “fear mongering” seriously & you haven’t been able to provide a single example bc you’re lying, u are lying to instigate a pile on of an immunocompromised person for using their platform to share info about COVID’s long term harm. Just want that to be clear — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ You came out of nowhere and started attacking me yesterday calling me a “fear monger” leading to a pile on, so yes, I’m going to continue to respond and ask for proof — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ Again, if you come out of nowhere posting repeatedly that I’m a “fear monger” and “want everyone to stay inside all day” then you better have proof. Because labeling someone medically vulnerable talking abt covid a “fear monger” despite zero proof does incite attacks — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ I take accusations of “fear mongering” pretty seriously! If ur going to accuse me of it in multiple tweets/threads then yes, I’m going to keep asking for evidence of it. U came out nowhere to attack me and call me a fear monger, and now you’re acting like ur the victim — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ @SarahPilferman @Trans_Lykeia Why can’t you provide a single example of all this alleged “extreme fear mongering” that you’ve so loudly declared I do all the time? — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@real91toph So sorry that’s such a bummer!! Twitter should really let us export follower/following lists 💔 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ If we’re talking misrepresentation, then where are the examples of my “extreme fear mongering” and “wanting everyone to stay inside all day”? Seems like you can’t provide one example https://t.co/iZh2y4LKng — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ @SarahPilferman @Trans_Lykeia I agree. So where are these examples of me being an “extreme fear monger” and “wanting everyone to stay inside all day”? If you’re going to accuse me of that for talking about long covid, then let’s see the receipts. Or were you just lying? — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

If u go on and on about how I’m a “fear monger to the extreme,” then fail to produce a single example of me “fear mongering” you’re simply a liar. And you’re lying to defend ppl who continue to minimize and dismiss the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

This woman came out of nowhere and started tweeting at me, posting twitter threads saying I’m an “extreme fear monger” and “want everyone to stay inside all day” then could not come up with a *single* example of me “fear mongering”. Not one!! That’s because she’s lying — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@DavidAstinWalsh @wsbgnl @kaitlinrh This isn’t “a way for people to assert control”, that’s very dismissive and condescending. What Mindy, etc is pushing is very much denialism and hurling slurs at ppl, calling them “freaks”, orchestrating pile ons of disabled ppl is unacceptable. Ppl are very right to call her out — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@LisaHandwovens so sorry I had auto blocking on and it auto blocked you! My apologies — PolitiTweet.org
