On the bus & I think another passenger is on their way to a cat's birthday party (holding a scratching post and a party hat). Life is beautiful

I knew I was getting close to Textile City. I could see their monument, a colossal weaving device, looming in the distance.

You have to admit it's funny

found a rock in the kitchen and as I was about to throw it in the trash I thought "wait this is cruel I should let it outside" as if it was a living thing

i can’t believe i’ve survived the last 5 years living here in these conditions. i wish i didn’t have to. i woke up with so much resentment towards anti-maskers, leftist, liberal, and otherwise. i’d say i wish the worst for all of them but that just means i’d get hit first. eugencists of today will gladly take your free n95s during an urban fire and then immediately remove them indoors without batting a single eye at endangering your life. positively disgusting behavior that should be named and shamed, just like any other form of bigoted violence.

it’s been half a decade, there’s no excuse for the daily active dehumanization and disappearing of disabled people, especially disabled black people, indigenous people, and latinx from the public and even private sphere. it’s not a systemic failure, it’s a deliberate acute expansion of the same centuries-long settler-colonial eugenics project of the u.s., and most people have not only failed to resist it but are willful participants and facilitators of it. can’t even recognize your enemy anymore since you’ve become it.

all the 'get out there and join community, don't isolate yourself' shit really drives me insane as someone made so fucking sick from postviral illness in a world that does not give a single fuck.

I'd love to 'just get out there' but

- I crashed hard after college into bedbound life and lost all my friends

- literally nobody cares about getting other people sick so how am I gonna make new friends

- I'm mostly housebound on the best of my days. I only leave the house for unavoidable chores and they make me feel atrocious.

- honestly between palestine and people being entirely willing to let disabled people and grandma die of covid I'm so god damn disappointed in the world and the people in it. ghoulish fucking society we live in here. we place zero value on human life.

"Later, I would remember 2022 as the summer when people stopped caring. The Washington Post interviewed Americans taking flight while knowingly Covid positive, and CDC research later showed that 81 percent of airplane bathroom wastewater samples had Omicron RNA. Friends who were very careful about Covid in 2020 and 2021 now posted photos on social media of themselves traveling or crowded inside public spaces. Unmasked. As if they couldn't be reinfected, couldn't get long Covid. Did it only ever matter to protect themselves? . . . I grieve all that has been taken from me: the enjoyment of my body, the friends of decades who have disappeared, my health, the chance to watch K experience a normal childhood. And I grieve for my family. Our lives are filled with indignity after indignity. . . . For the first time in in my life, I am terrified of the future. I fear that if my husband ever becomes ill, i won't be able to care for him as he has so selflessly cared for me. I fear my life will be cut short by years or decades by Covid's lingering effects — heart attacks, strokes, dementia that sicentists warn about due to damage to our brains, diabetes possibility lurking behind my new blood sugar imbalance. I fear for my body while alive, and I wonder how much more suffering I will be forced to withstand. . . . This is not a feel-good story, not a tale of triumphing over adversity. In 2020, we heard that the pandemic's silver lining would be all the inequalities it had highlighted; at the dawn of 2024, it's clear that those inequalities are just as entrenches, or worse, than before. What long-haulers are now living through, social justice and disability-rights activists reminds us, is the American landscape as it has always been."
