this cultural/social moment affirms for me that the work of the remainder of my life is to learn to live slowly and in harmony with the present moment. there is no other project.

People are VERY huffy and stompy about this post but just as an inside opinion from someone in LC community, It’s hard to believe there is solidarity with the disabled and high risk people who need to avoid covid when our one primary ask is met with accusations that, hey, maybe we’re just CRAZY?

Dear liberals,

If you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It’s one small act of solidarity with the millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health

i love to imagine this logic applied to other mitigation tools—trembling at a seatbelt, cowering from a helmet, freezing at the sight of a condom—easy to reveal how laughable a take the idea of masking as an act of fear is.

I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is.

Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.

i get that my rhetoric proves his point and i don’t care. i’m not gonna be the one to change minds on this

i’m so fucking sick of this i can’t even argue with it any more. this whole thread mischaracterizes what is being called for in the first place AND handwaves preventable chronic illness to a degree that we simply can’t afford any longer. just wanna roll over and die at this point lol.

(and i think it is a demand that stems from fear more than a rational assessment of the threat environment)

When Prince died, D'Angelo went on the Tonight Show to perform Sometimes it Snows in April, a heart wrenching rendition. Please listen in memory of D'Angelo.

It looks like the original video is no longer on youtube. But, here is the recording.

D'Angelo speaking out about the physical and emotional burden of maintaining a nearly unobtainable physique and sexy image as a Black male artist should be taught in labor studies. It absolutely impacted how I analyze pop culture.

katherine dee is herself a reactionary who has written for TERF blog fairer disputations. her bio there cites her work at american conservative, unherd, and the washington examiner. interesting how the bio she chose here doesn’t reflect that bias. the work itself features no actual citations

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

the opening of Halloween 3 is my favorite credit sequence ever, and probably my favorite Carpenter composition too. and the way it all sequences right into the film after this is flawless. this movie is pure vibes. disregard it at your peril
