Phantom Rooms is out and what better day than the first day of Fall! Deep appreciation to @mappa_editions for welcoming me and creating a home for this music. Get a tape from them or me!
Maybe you shouldn’t care about disabled people because you’re going to become disabled one day, maybe you should care about them because they’re human beings who deserve love and support.
You should not be more interested in conforming to social pressure than you are curious about where that social pressure is coming from. This applies to everything but especially to Covid and the extreme social pressure we all experience to get us to play at normal
We’re not living with Covid.
We’re dying with it.
We’re becoming chronically ill with it.
We’re watching systems collapse under it.
And calling that normal.
The true pandemic isn’t just the virus.
The Americans who are afraid of Trump becoming a dictator are oblivious to the fact that we already live under the most corrupt dictatorship in the world. It’s called the dictatorship of capital and it controls, exploits, & monetizes every moment of our lives from birth to death.
By the time your government starts telling you to worry about COVID again, it will be too late. Don’t rely on them. Take precautions on your own. They do not care about you.
Stuff you can do right now to help fight fascism
- wear a mask and get vaccinated to prevent the spread of COVID
- support mutual aid and CF campaigns. Including unhoused neighbors
- stop using AI
- talk about politics with friends and family, fight misinformation
Being a good organizer means creating spaces that are politically intersectional. You don't say "community care is optional/ masks optional", just as you wouldn't say, "racist language will be tolerated". Geezus, it's the very basics that are needed to facilitate community.
An hour of research on Palestine and most leftists will support Palestine. An hour of research on Covid and, well I can't do that because well I just think it's silly and eating out and all. Why would our government lie about Covid?
“Back-to-normal” is MAGA for ableds.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, the pandemic-to-fascism pipeline runs on the disposability of vulnerable people.
“Only the sick are dying” is how it starts.

Fundamentally society accepted that it is okay to kill or disable others by passing on Covid.
This aspect is never discussed, but it should be. Because it’s actually not morally okay.
It's all connected: Epstein's clients. Genocide. Mass surveillance. Fascist police. Bank bailouts. Forever wars. Artificial scarcity. Price-gouging. Corporate welfare. Chemicals in the food. Poison in the air. Plastic in the water. Deregulation. Privatization of essential needs.
Them: “I’ve had it & I’m fine 🙄”
-multi organ damage is silent, at 1st
-ppl adapt to declining health.
A new baseline creeps in
-brain damage from C O V I D lulls you into not noticing your brain damage
-assuming you’re “fine” while others suffer & die,is survivor bias & shitty
Most leftist anti-maskers think they are annoyed by the masking-left but actually are mad at material reality. I also wish it wasn't airborne, there wasn't asymptomatic spread, and that vaccines offered sufficient prevention of transmission. But wishing that doesn't make it so.
