[Tweet by @rg224 dated 7/16/23 “A lot of COVID transmission is asymptomatic. If you stopped masking but support bodily autonomy (pro-choice, in support of trans rights, etc.), does it align with your values to infect people with COVID w/o their consent? It's not too late to course correct and live your values.”]
I’m obsessed with this dude’s videos. The dialogue and cuts feel like they were ripped out of a Wes Anderson movie but it also doesn’t feel like he’s trying to mimic Wes Anderson
Okay, serious note on COVID and how high risk people are being left to rot:
What do I do with this anger? Where do I direct it? I have so much anger and grief about being immunocompromised and being one of the only people in ALL the communities I move in who is still masking.
I am angry to be surrounded by friends, teachers, community members who don't mask at all anymore. My life and the lives of those like me have been deemed less important. People around me will say they care about my presence but continue to not understand why I care about masks and vaccinations.
Where do I put my rage and grief? I don't want to be angry at my community, but I am. What do I do with it? How the fuck do I make this productive? Where can this energy go? I need to make it productive, I can't keep holding it in anymore.
Last surviving members of the Sadlermiut, an Inuit group wiped-out by a pandemic in 1902. The pandemic is thought to have originated from contact with a whaling ship. Photo taken by Geraldine Moodie in Fullerton Harbour, Nunavut, in May 1905. (Glenbow Archives.
The Sadlermiut were a hunter-gatherer people whose subsistence relied primarily on fishing and caribou hunting, although they also hunted seals, polar bears, and walruses. Unlike the mainland Inuit, the Sadlermiut were reported to show very little interest in hunting whales and trapping and were thus of little use to traders who frequented Coral Harbour. In addition, the Sadlermiut often kept a "vigilant distance" between themselves and the traders, the explorers and the Aivilingmiut. This may be in part due to historical confrontations with the Aivilingmiut who sought Southampton Island for its prosperous whaling potential, and the Dene peoples who moved northwards during the summer in pursuit of caribou.
The Sadlermiut language is unknown, but appears to have been significantly different from that of their mainland neighbours. The neighbouring Inuit reported that they used "baby talk", but it is not clear if this means they spoke a distinct variety of Inuit language, or that they used pidgin Inuktitut as a contact language.
By the second half of 19th century, the Sadlermiut population numbered above 200. But then the contact with outsiders increased and various diseases caused a steep decline in population. The ethnic group was wiped out in 1902-03, as a result of a pandemic that spread among the community from the whaling ship Active. Out of the total population of 58, there were only 5 survivors (one adult woman and 4 children). The survivors were then evacuated to Naujaat. Out of this group of survivors, only two children were alive by 1908, and they had no memory of Sadlermiut traditions.
