Saturday Morning covid-19: day 700 | US: GA | info | act
Calm and cool, this morning’s quiet brings a nice respite from my hectic week, though the Putins of the world are doing their best to ruin it.[1] I feel guilty sitting by my comfortable fire and having my coffee while the world becomes more hostile many others. I have some issues myself, but in comparison, they are trivial compared to what Ukrainians are going through.[2] Or identity seekers in Florida.[3] Or trans youth in Texas.[4] Or teachers across the country.[5] Or facts under attack by whitewashed narratives disguised as history. Maybe I’m just getting the bad bits. How can I filter those out? Why do we fight so hard to be such overbearing assholes? Maybe all these little Putins are the obsolete ones, and the world would be a much better place if they just fucked off. How far will these tyrants pull us to the right before we say enough?
Like those I mention above, I just want to be left alone to do my thing. Why is that so difficult?
What a week.
notes
- ↑ Why does Putin’s invasion of Ukraine remind me of the beginning of the Blitz, though we’ve seen this coming for years?
- ↑ Listening to Putin blather on about Nazis and genocide sounds like ’Rump. They both live in a fantasy world, yet the real world is now going to pay for it they myopic delusions. My feeling Tuesday was similar to that dread I felt about two years ago reading about this rapidly spreading virus in China.
- ↑ And shame on you, Publix, for supporting this heinous bill.
- ↑ The real child abuse comes from bigots and religions zealots, like the American Taliban that currently govern Texas.
- ↑ Georgia is not immune to this absurdity, either. All education in this state is under attack. We faculty are the “woke” enemies, and maybe a new chancellor can finally make us compliant.
