this has been said before but I feel like it is very important to view being kind as something you do rather than something that you are because all people have the capacity for meanness and cruelty and often use it inadvertently but the point is to change your behavior and your attitude and practice paying attention and being selfless and sincere and vulnerable and putting kindness and warmth into your actions and words instead of being like oh I value kindness and thus I am such a good person. like it’s about the attempt

everyone wants solidarity but nobody wants to put on a mask. everyone wants third spaces but nobody wants to put on a mask. everyone wants mutual aid but nobody wants to put on a mask.

quasi-normalcy

It's actually really frightening to see officially sanctioned genocide denial rise up in Western countries in real time. Like, I remember 20 years ago hearing about how it was illegal in Turkey to point out that the Armenian Genocide happened, and how I thought that that was fucking evil and oppressive. Now here we are, with a campaign in Gaza that experts have called 'a textbook case of genocide', for which the UN Human Rights counsel has determined there are "reasonable grounds" to call it genocide, and the US Congress is trying to make it illegal to criticize Israel. We have Hollywood agencies refusing to represent anyone who points out that a genocide is currently taking place. And it's just the same shit from a fresh asshole as we got from the Turkish government over what happened in Armenia in the 1920s, like "Oh yes, there were killings, but...calling it genocide? Ohhhh, you must be very hateful to our poor little nation to think that our people are capable of that 😢 😭!" Fuck off.

People who have never taken public transit before seem to be under the impression that everyone on a bus is ready to stab you meanwhile I have never had that problem and I get to read while I’m stuck in traffic and they don’t.

Also I don’t get stuck in traffic much anyways because the drivers keep going on the freeway even though it gets clogged up with traffic and it’s literally faster to drive on the surface streets where the busses go but whatever I don’t need to pay for a gym membership because I walk to the bus and meanwhile what are you spending your money on? Oil changes so you can keep getting stuck in traffic?

Am I spreading anti-car propaganda? Yes I am and yes I will forever because I don’t need to think about parking. I don’t have to pay for parking. I can just show up at a place and then leave without having to think about any of that. You wish you had it that good. I haven’t set foot in a parking garage in months.

I honestly think the reason people are so scared of public transit is entirely because of fear mongering from the car lobby and anti city sentiments

NPR tacitly endorses the removal of Long COVID sufferers from public life

18kgold

The focus here should be about why this attitude is so common, what this attitude implies, and for what reason major media outlets choose to platform people complaining about their disabled spouses rather than our ableist society.

NPR’s decision to platform a piece about the difficulty of navigating life with a spouse who can’t dine indoors, instead of a piece about the difficulty of navigating a society that has made dining indoors unsafe for vulnerable groups, is just that- a decision, and a political one. It is part of an ongoing effort to cast those who cannot play along with the “back to normal” fantasy- those who are being harmed and killed by it- as weird, paranoid, crazy, annoying, and “the problem.”

[... A]s Long COVID patients become louder, as their presence becomes more undeniable, as their numbers grow, the COVID normalization project must pivot from attempting to disappear these victims to steadily stigmatizing them.

This stigma takes many forms, but by and large it is a project aimed at pathologizing people with post-COVID health problems, portraying them as “crazy,” and presenting their increasing difficulties navigating our inaccessible society as an imaginary problem they made up [...].

This moment requires solidarity between those who have been affected by COVID normalization and those who have not yet been harmed. Instead, NPR and other media outlets encourage us to turn on one another and unleash the anger we feel at losing basic rights onto those who’ve been even more harmed than we have. It is not dissimilar to the mainstream efforts to turn poor native-born Americans against poorer immigrants, to turn people making minimum wage against people on welfare, to turn ciswomen against transwomen, to turn Asian Americans against Black Americans. All of these efforts shield and protect a state that immiserates all vulnerable groups; broken solidarity, in every case, harms both the targets and the perpetrators.
