Covid showed us we could slow down, work different, care for each other, rethink everything. We had one rare chance to build a life that was less cruel, less exhausting, less centered around grinding people into dust.

That’s what makes me angry. We learned nothing.
I love people who engage with media and the things they love like this. Things we enjoy and that are precious to us don’t have to be “good” by some universal, objective standard and that’s the beauty of it!
