Does anyone else think about the aesthetic of cityscapes in 90s anime or is it just me?

Yes, I think I'm better than you if, unlike me, you don't wear a mask or respirator out in public.

I don't care if that offends you. Because we both know I'm right.

Yes. Many times.

I can only hope for such an existence.

How am I supposed to be happy with barely existing under an oppressive capitalistic lifeworld?

I deserve fucking better than this.

I see that someone has superspread themselves over here 😅

"Eat the rich" they will say:
With a loaf of bread in one hand,
And a ticket to the circus in the other.

And having said the trendy line,
They will return ever more to their fever dream of an existence
...not ever really having been awake?
Which works just fine for their overlords.

Hello everyone. Haven't used this website in a while. Hope you're all doing okay. 💗

Let them eat brunch! meme

Some unmasked trendy bottomless brunch in a cramp, enclosed, and poorly-ventilated area ... with perhaps a side of some BSL-3 SARS virus.

Thank goodness *cough* we're back to *splutter* "normal".

"COVID is over" but really: late-stage capitalism, doctored statistics, alt-right support, lying politicians, media misinformation, public health failures, and peer pressure.

What is really meant when society says that "COVID is over" 🦠👀

Covid deniers licking the boots of neoliberal capitalists.

Pretty much sums it up.

Anakin: The economy is destroyed, people are starving, and the planet is on fire. Padme: But at least we eliminated COVID right? Right?

But at least we eliminated COVID, right? 🤡🦠

Literally this. People treat me like I'm a nutjob whenever I correctly point out that COVID is closer to HIV than a cold/flu.

The way that people want to repeatedly infect themselves with a SARS virus for ✨ social conformity ✨ is pathological.

Literally. Every time I see a so-called "leftist" post a maskless public selfie I want to scream into a pillow.

I don't even consider them leftists anymore, I consider them right-wing conservatives and call them such.

Oh wait, COVID isn't actually over (no matter how hard you wish it were).

So I guess doubling down on ableism and capitalism since 2021 did nothing, and now you're left with even less bargaining power to improve your lives than 2019, and missed your opportunity to mobilize in 2020.

Oops.

The economy is spiralling out of control, the planet is on fire, workplace conditions have become worse, everyone is becoming sick, homelessness is skyrocketing, and you can barely afford to purchase food.

But it was all worth it because we successfully eliminated COVID, right? Right??

Thought I'd make a bingo card based on the ridiculous interactions I've had with COVID deniers.

Same. I really can't stand the performative nature of contemporary mental health discourse. It is about looking good and acquiring social status rather than about the wellbeing of others.

TW: unalive/suicide

Neurotypicals will say they're "pro mental health" and that they "care about suicide prevention", but will then do nothing to lower the number of autistic suicides and will bully particular autistic people in their lives towards suicide or ideation.

I've learned that autistic people will often be framed of having a history or pattern of "hurting other people".

When the pattern is really that others have often been ableist towards that autistic person - and have the social capital to then ostracise and vilify them.

Addressing the ongoing effects of COVID is inextricably tied with addressing the injustices of capitalism.

So-called "leftists" need to understand this.

You can't just pick one or the other and say that COVID is "over". COVID is now tied to the failure of neoliberal capitalism.

"Neurotypicals are the most open-minded, adaptable, and 'open to change' people. They are able to handle the challenges of everyday life."

I don't know. Have you ever tried convincing a neurotypical to put on a face mask to avoid catching a widely transmissible BSL-3 virus?

Most people think that suicide prevention is referring someone to a phone hotline instead of actually improving their quality of life, but nobody's ready to have that discussion.

Disabled people shouldn't be expected to "overcome" their disability to succeed in society.

Society should overcome its ableism so it can succeed for disabled people.

The truth is truthing with this post. 😁

Without fail - every time! 😂

If you want to end a friendship with someone, just link them to a bunch of medical research which definitively highlights that COVID is serious and that the pandemic isn't over.

We need to fully understand these dimensions of capitalism, identity formation, and ontological security which are at play if we are to move forward and exercise effective praxis which pushes for a safer society regarding COVID.

Many people are most happy so long as they can purchase and consume commodities, because it gives them the most security and easiest path of an identity (and meaning in their lifeworld).

But it also means they must continue to purchase and consume within capitalism.

The pandemic, with its alterity and rupturing of existing processes, invited people to construct identities and relations which pushed back against the constant commodifying processes of capitalism.

People failed miserably and wanted identity within consumption at all costs.
