“during the pandemic” = “when climate change happens” both of these things are very much here and happening, and denying that reality will only leave you and those around you unprepared (spiritually, emotionally, physically) for when death comes knocking at your door.

some people won’t take covid precautions, even when educated and resourced, because they truly believe they could never be disabled, and that their good intentions mitigate any harm they cause. but the ableism + saviorism is something that can’t be worked through for them.

our relationship to desirability informs our material desires and consumption habits and what ways of life we think are ‘unacceptable’ or ‘outdated’. we (in the US) are gonna have to take less & give more to not be complicit in the violence empire enacts with our indifference.

if we evaluated all of these encampments based on the percentage of people masking we’d find a correlation between masking and militancy. masking is a bare minimum militant practice and it underlines the politics to actually oppose the State and sustain movement spaces.

part of the reason i take my covid mitigations so seriously is that i already have a period with pain so bad i want to **** myself every month. (even with pain medication) and getting covid could possible make that worse?? yeah no thank you 😭

i’m also just extra critical bc i’m pretty much only around art people or gardening people and they’re all about changing things from the ground up…except for something that pushes TOO far against the grain apparently

long, indirect conversations are no longer emotionally worthwhile to me. cause when you can be direct about harm, about care, about whatever, other conversations happen much quicker too. instead of discovering years later what their line in the sand actually was/is

i know the term is applied differently but i get hesitant when people disregard ‘shame tactics’, esp cause sometimes ppl will say you’re shaming them when all you say is ‘people are disabled and killed by your decision to not wear a mask’… which is like, an objective truth imo??

the way i want to write about how this concept ties into the xenogenesis series. there’s a reason that work has been used to analyze the cold war!!!

saw someone ask for ppl who wouldn’t be ‘rude and snarky’ for updated covid info. someone gave them a quick run down and they replied ‘well there are covid treatments so i know thats not true’. and that’s i don’t try with ppl who insist on civility and rightness.

nothing but love for the most militant among us. too often people’s first instinct is concession before anything has begun, without even realizing it. why limit ourselves to what WE can create?

maybe it’s irrational but this response from my grandma (who has had triple-bypass surgery, has smoked for 50+ years, has been hospitalized twice in the past year, and masked up until the end of 2021 & said she wished she felt comfortable asking our family to mask) has me irate

confused @ how some of the more ‘radical’ ppl follow the likes of the kenner/jardashian clan & other ‘lifestyle influencers’, who are completely devoid of any meaningful politic. it’s not like your feed has to be boring & all political, but some follows are certainly…a choice

when i think of how i try to embody my desirability politic i think of what alexis de veaux said, “i don’t think i’m there by any means, but i know i’m going there.” (end of thread lol)
