If you needed a reminder to wear a mask, thanks to the endless social and for profit irresponsibility normalized on a global scale, we now have a new wave of C19 causing people “razor blade throat.”
"I can’t find the air with which to speak of how European elites set Jews up to become this, how anti-Semitism tangled with racism and European colonialism to create these perpetrators, how Zionism mobilizes terror into entitlement and hate."
- Aurora Levins Morales
On COVID-consciousness and fear:
You do not hold with tenacity that which the world has abandoned, in the face of ridicule and ostracism, alone, for six years, out of reactivity. And if that's how you're imagining us - as reactive, fear-serving, helpless victims of our own out-of-control minds, you simply don't know us. The COVID-conscious lifestyle is one hundred percent intentional on the part of every COVID-conscious person I know. We face our shit. We know exactly why we do what we do. You don't sustain this kind of commitment if you're crumbling in obeisance to fear. We're the kinds of people who opt out of religious traditions, family traditions, societal traditions. We skip holidays and songs and rituals others never dared to question. We don't just question what everyone else is doing and why they're doing it, we actually choose to say, "No, I'm not doing that anymore. I decided because..." and fill in the blanks with what informed our decision. We are people who exercise agency that others don't even know they could have. We face fears most others couldn't fathom facing, every time we venture into a world that hates us for reminding them of what they are trying so hard to forget: that we CAN make a difference. We CAN have better lives and a better world. We CAN be free of so much suffering that we've simply tolerated without question for centuries because we knew no other way. We, the COVID-conscious see other ways. And what frightens people about this is that it means taking responsibility for your part, standing out from the crowd and doing what you know is the answer to that betterment of things. It means mustering up the boldness to step out of line with "the way we've always done things," FOLLOWING those other ways that you see, even as skeptical and shallow-minded onlookers taunt and jeer at you because they simply can't see what you've looked at so wholeheartedly. That is courage, man. Courage like I've never seen before, anywhere. And the rest of y'all, take note. Because we're just getting started. 🔥🧂🌎🌱💪😷
Before I get to explaining this, it must be noted Gaza is being completely overshadowed.
For 11 days, Palestinians have been starved, denied food, water, and electricity during Ramadan. Dozens have been murdered in the last few days alone. But where is the same outrage?
Have you noticed yourself and others making more and more weird typos in posts? Not just misspellings but leaving out words, using wrong words, and the like?
it's good to see ppl supporting LA mask blocs but like
this is the level of support mask blocs should be receiving year round if they're actually doing the work they're supposed to
so many of them "took time off" mid summer 24 & just quit bc it turns out mutual aid is hard
Getting early 2020 vibes, which also started with horrific widespread wildfires, and an emerging viral outbreak that governments weren't doing enough to get under control 😬
COVID-19 leads to long-term changes in the immune system, study shows. This may be why you can’t “shake” that cold, are exhausted, lack stamina, have insomnia, brain “fog “, memory issues . Rest rest rest and see your doctor. https://t.co/C24ZebijXe
