What did he say??

The truth 🐊

it's exhausting to get treated by people who think they're entitled to steal our work as if we're the villains here, instead of what we actually are: other bottom-rung workers doing our absolute fuckin best in a really tough situation.

so like. maybe don't steal our stuff. this isn't a big ask.

Stuff like this is when I get so up in arms about when people go after EVERY corporation. If you think running a small business is the same as running Evil Corp. Inc. you are in a fantasy land. I can only do this because of a supportive family, and because due to my child's health issues... (7/?)

I feel like we go through this every few months, where small-scale creators go, "hey actually we're drowning please don't steal our stuff" and all these fuckin douche bags crawl out of the woodwork to say we're entitled, bougie, rich, privileged, whatever.

We. are. drowning. (9/10)

I hate it when I agree with organized religion that the universe is beautiful and worthy of awe and wonder, and that commodified chat bots are tarnishing the human soul and making us less capable as beings of the universe trying to understand itself.

good luck 🍿

a pixel art drawing i did of two friends, one bunny girl wearing a dress and glasses, and one cat girl wearing a beanie with ears poking out and a loose shirt, ripped jeans, and hiking shoes. they are surrounded in the picture by a bundle of daisies, a sunflower, an ube roll cake, and a slice of strawberry shortcake

i drew two friends! 🌻

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

This isn't like the average online petition btw, this is one of those things where if it gets enough signatures, the HOC absolutely must bring it to the floor for discussion. Incredibly important to get on this if you're Canadian.

Aahhh, congratulations!!

I think that may be a big source of the disconnect, then. Most people I know both online and IRL who have been asking folks to stop using the past tense have talked about this experience. It's a really big part of why this is so important.

Covid sufferers are pointing out a notable linguistic indicator of the shift in attitude that's caused their suffering. You made a post implying that it's an arbitrary or foolish point to make. They're already dying from that hill, and you're objecting to them naming it and going down swinging.

Why are you sure of that, though?
The vast majority of people I talk to about it genuinely believe covid is over, and "during covid" is an expression of that belief. People ask me what I'm masking for, and when I say covid, they're genuinely surprised. Some ask me when it "came back."

I can’t read minds so I can’t say for absolutely certain, but I don’t think I’ve come across anyone who says “during COVID” who also fully understands & acknowledges that it’s still very much a threat to them & everyone else—because it is. And that’s the problem.

That post has brought out a depressing number of people eager to say that disliking the phrase "since/after the pandemic" is a matter of being unwilling to accept what people mean when they say it - and then saying that they mean "during public mitigation." Which is, y'know, EXACTLY THE PROBLEM HERE

It’s a wrong question of the wrong people. The pandemic is ongoing so what would it take for you (and you represent the vast majority) to overcome denial and a propensity to go with the crowd and read those papers on what SARS2 actually does in every body after the aches and sniffles resolve?

Does this look like “during Covid” is the accurate way to phrase things?

Don't mistake your confusion of a word's colloquial definition with its definition in science for "logic."

It mattered a lot for me and the coworkers and friends I talked about it with. A poor economy was understandable, cause we were all aware of the ravages of the pandemic. Him saying things were going well while we were struggling harder than ever, though, that felt like a big f.u. to our faces.

Dude... are you kidding right now?
In this short thread, you're showing a really surprising level of cognitive dissonance. And frankly, a shocking lack of logic. This is kinda scary. I hope you're okay.

From the Department of Labor: "OSHA is proposing to remove OSHA's COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard and its associated recordkeeping and reporting provisions from the Code of Federal Regulations."

Hey remember when COVID-19 disabled millions American workers in hospitals, restaurants, and other workplaces - and continues to do so? OSHA now wants to cover this up and make the problem even worse.

I will die on this hill:

it isn’t hard to say “at the height of the pandemic” or “at the start of COVID” during a podcast interview. Producers, hosts, don’t let your guests say “during COVID” like this thing is over. Correct them. Ask them to say the sentence again. This is your job.

The zombie pup rises again!

Have you ever observed this behavior 🤔🐦?
Kleptoparasitism is quite common among seabirds 🌊🐧. It involves harassing 🚨 another bird to make it drop or regurgitate 🤮 its food 🍴🐟… so the thief can snatch it 🏴‍☠️.

If you don’t wear a mask in public spaces, you don’t actually believe in accessibility & inclusion for “everyone”

It doesn’t matter if “you’ll be the only one”

Show some courage & leadership

Refuse to care what people think, be a leader & be confident in why you’re wearing a mask
