@_celia_bedelia_ You said I, a well known medically vulnerable person, using my platform to talk abt COVID’s long term harms and call out covid denialism is “fear mongering” and “bullying” before accusing me of wanting everyone to “stay inside forever”. So what did I post that was fear mongering? https://t.co/PtXTLJaQ16 — PolitiTweet.org

@mason187h Nope, that’s pointing out basic hypocrisy in two statements, Mindy has continually posted covid denialist rhetoric, and instigated a whole onslaught of harassment against disabled ppl. In response she called me both a misogynistic & ableist slur, are you equally offended by that? — PolitiTweet.org

Blue checks provide value *to average users*. They make it clear, on an app widely used for breaking news and politics, which creators are valid vs impersonators. To destroy that value bc of some grievance toward certain groups of verified creators seems counterproductive — PolitiTweet.org

I think Twitter may end up repeating the mistakes of Vine. Vine was notoriously hostile to their top creators (not remotely this hostile, however). Musk’s tweet reads as another Silicon Valley tech CEO who doesn’t value creators — PolitiTweet.org

@setarelven @KashPrime It’s just so wild to say that, for me, “‘minimizing’ the virus is anything less than staying inside all day.” Half my account is posting about how angry I am medically vulnerable ppl are being shut out of society, and disabled people are NOT advocating for mass lockdowns! — PolitiTweet.org

@_celia_bedelia_ @DanishaCarter4 Just asking for an example of the “bullying and fear mongering” you keep accusing me of, while u may personally take COVID precautions (great!), I’m just trying to understand why you’d accuse me of “fear mongering” and wanting everyone to be locked away (I fight for the opposite) — PolitiTweet.org

@_celia_bedelia_ No, I asked you this question when you replied to me, but didn’t see a response, since you’re still posting the same accusation I thought I’d ask again for an example of what you’re talking about, i.e. where I’m “fear mongering” and “bullying” — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ Can u share an example of me being a bully and “fear monger”? I earnestly want to understand what u mean, I’ve tried to explain that we are fighting to be included in the world, no one is advocating for people to “stay inside all day”. Posting abt long covid isn’t fear mongering https://t.co/83VSvYG7b8 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Saying things like “the real bullies are the immunocompromised people who ‘fear monger’ by posting about how they’ve been shut out of society,” or accusing medically vulnerable ppl of wanting to lock everyone down forever (totally false) is covid denialism. Straight up — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ What exactly is “weopanizing covid against people” and “fear mongering”. Can I see some examples of this? Just want to understand exactly what you’re referring to here — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Exactly. If you are such a strong advocate for covid protections, why is it offensive and “fear mongering” for me, someone who’s medically vulnerable, to use my platform to raise awareness about COVID’s danger — PolitiTweet.org

@_celia_bedelia_ Not self righteous, simply a fact that I’m highly medically vulnerable, as are millions of others. I will continue to use my platform to post about COVID’s long term harm & call out denialism because we are in the middle of a pandemic. I’m sorry it bothers u, I’d suggest muting. — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ That’s horrible. And ahh, so it is about COVID. You think me, as someone who’s severely medically vulnerable, using my platform to post about COVID’s long term harm and call out denialism, is the problem. Glad we arrived back at that. — PolitiTweet.org
