for covid conscious folks who get demoralized, thinking there’s no point to posting about covid for those who aren’t yet informed: in 2023, i was persuaded by the density of high-quality research y’all post here. and i’ve done my best to pay it forward. what you say matters.😷

You can’t normalize mass infection and the disposability of the most vulnerable & marginalized for the sake of continuity of western consumerist privileges, w/out causing a widespread increase in both illness & eugenicist norms. Accepting C0VID abandonment as normal led us here.

The great mass infection normalization project the ruling class implemented succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. To accept mass infection is the very definition of capitulating in advance, yet ppl across the political spectrum happily embraced the lies, minimization & denial.

Replying to @now_grace
Admitting what’s actually happening means confronting the fact their choices harmed themselves & others. That’s psychologically intolerable for many. We’re mostly ignored right now, w/some hostility in the mix. This is child’s play compared to when they realise what they’ve done

As if those participating in the harm are too delicate to be confronted w the reality that ppl are suffering tremendously as a result of their behaviors. Asking them to recognize their role in the harmdoing and and acknowledge their power to change it is not the violence here.

Because most of those people aren’t intentionally setting out to harm anyone and even would feel sad to recognize how much harm they have participated in, it’s considered rude and outrageous to point out the harm not masking is contributing to, directly naming it.

Because the abandonment of the most vulnerable to Covid eugenics is wholly naturalized and normalized by the dominant culture, pointing out that people going along with those norms are harming and killing folks is considered more objectionable than the behaviors themselves.

You have the power to directly interrupt eugenicist fascist norms every day. If you’re moaning about fascism but you’re not wearing a mask, you’re neglecting one of the most critical practices of solidarity with those disproportionately targeted by the fascists.
On a blue background white text reads: How outraged are you really if you aren’t willing to use the power you have to wear masks to protect those who are dying and being harmed right now by the fascism you bemoan? - biomimic

A mass infection, you-do-you, hyper-individualized approach to public health = eugenics. Misinforming the public and minimizing or denying the very real risks to all of us as well as the heightened risks for the most vulnerable = eugenics.

Officially lunched in 2017, today is the first day of National Accessibility Awareness Week (NAAW)! All Peoples whether Indigenous, non-Indigenous, disabled, Elders, parents, children, everyone, has the right to accessible communities, programs, services, and systems, everyone! We have a lot of work still to do to make Canada fully accessible, but we recognize those who are doing their part to remove barriers for all!

Look, if you get whiny the second anyone points out that you're doing or saying something that fuels bigotry, annoyed someone dare suggest you said or did something harmful and rooted in bigotry, well, that's a tell.
