In this 5th year of the Pandemic, I'm kinda gut punched by the abandonment of friends, some family and my peers.
I get punched again each time I see an event CFP shared with no health policy.
I recommend reading this piece by @MediaActivist . It's a very long, comprehensive read.
You aren't alone. This isn't your fault. Our society as it is set this up. It's just more of us are on the sharp edges of it. We're the canaries in the coalmine.

It isn't just the sick who get excluded, it's their family who care for them.
It's our overloaded health services.
Who don't you see anymore at events?
Or did you just forget us in the excitement of attending and getting your presentation accepted?
Is it just too inconvenient to practice and organise genuine inclusion?
