It seems crazy we used to let people smoke in restaurants and on planes. My hope is that in the near future, not cleaning the air in shared spaces will seem just as gross and harmful as indoor smoking seems now in retrospect.

While it’s disappointing most people eat up articles assuring them it’s fine to raw-lung SARS and endlessly consume/travel to prop up our petrol death economy, at least people are drawing the line at making overt racism palatable. The reactions to this dude’s 🗑️ article are giving me an ounce of hope
I wrote about why we should not celebrate someone losing their job, especially in today’s America, even when they’ve done terrible racist things.
Losing a job should also be harder and involve workers’ bodies not unilateral management decisions.
