It’s such a mindfuck to see articles & TV shows trying to sensitively reflect on the ongoing COVID pandemic—but doing so only in the past tense, or as if it were a horrible event that ended in 2022 & is all behind us now & we just need to deal with the psychological after effects. It ain’t over.
In 2025, TV finally reflected the lingering effects of living through COVID-19

Yes, mental health and bullying play a role.
Both issues are almost certainly made worse by a neuroinvasive virus which causes anxiety and affects executive functioning, leading to increased aggression and diminished resiliency.
Oh, and then there’s good ol’ ILLNESS.

Respect Alice Wong’s call here:

If you are making plans to buy, travel, or do anything else this holiday season in the same way as you have in previous years, you do not understand the assignment.
The holidays are the beating heart of American capitalism. It's how they get most of the money they get from us. This year, we say no.

I find that statement “kids are germiest“ utterly infuriating.
Children are meant to be cared for by adults.
If they have excess quantities of “germs” it’s our fault for not giving them healthier environments to grow up in.
They are kept in overcrowded, under-ventilated, under funded 💩 holes.

Necessary action to stop the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 is not being taken partly because authorities are not disposed to take action, and partly because the masses are not demanding that action be taken, but without action, the human community has no likelihood of long-term survival.

if you believe that a better world is possible, you may be tarred as a doomer, because achieving a better world involves calling attention to what is wrong with this one.
