the way you’re still not wearing a high quality mask in the face of an entirely normalized mass disabling and eugenics event in a society that otherwise demonstrates its capacity for unapologetic inhumanity signifies how not serious you are about individual and our collective survival.

"I have declared war on the rich who prosper on our poverty, the politicians who lie to us with smiling faces, and all the mindless, heart-less robots who protect them and their property." -Assata Shakur

"the world is infinite, and so are we--no amount of living, no number or depth of interactions with others should be ‘enough’ for any of us, just as no amount of interactions with a person you love will ever be ‘enough.’” - entarchy

the way you all have normalized public displays of infection (without protection) via these creepy wet coughs year round is deeply disturbing.

your public displays of infection are really making us sick!

"Imagine being so harmed by an infection that everyone around you refers to as harmless that you can’t walk more than 500 steps a day. Imagine you have to plan your week around taking a shower (sitting down)."

what @miamingus.bsky.social said!

that’s what the fuck i’m screamin’!

Why are some still spreading misinfo that "masks only work when everyone wears one," & use it as an excuse not to mask as "no-one else is." It isn't all or nothing. While it's safer when more mask because there's less virus in the air, a well-fitting mask protects you even if no-one else masks.

what @rx0rcist.bsky.social said, gawdamn it! p.s. whole thread!

covid consscious, covid informed, covid aware, people wearing masks in public, i fucking appreciate you!

fucking-fuck, i feel this!!

“Poverty does not beatify. Poverty does not teach generosity or allow for sucker attributes of tenderness and restraint. In white America, hatred of Black folks has imposed 360 degrees of poverty upon us.” -June Jordan, Requiem for the Champ

“Give people what they need: food, medicine, clean air, pure water, trees and grass, pleasant homes to live in, some hours of work, more hours of leisure. Don't ask who deserves it. Every human being deserves it.” ― Howard Zinn, Marx in Soho: A Play on History

"make no mistakes about it--enlightenment is a destructive process. it has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. it's seeing through the facade of pretense. it's the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true." -adyashanti

"You will remain a commodity as long as the Empire exists." - Russell Means

"You interrogate your privilege, but never your abled privilege. You educate yourself about oppression, but never ableism." @miamingus.bsky.social

i read this and cried simply because children never consented to being sacrificed to covid for capitalism!

This absolutely breaks my heart.

“Until the killing of black men, black mothers' sons, becomes as important to the rest of the country as the killing of a white mother's son—we who believe in freedom cannot rest until this happens.” —Ella Baker

"We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist." -Robert Jones Jr. (@SonofBaldwin)

what creighton leigh said!

When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.

“As free market capitalism and technology expands, The third world's fertile soil becomes a desert wasteland, So it takes bands to, demand the, government provide answers, When Lady Liberty has me Bewitched like Samantha, And poverty is one of the most malignant forms of cancer.” -The Last Emperor

"When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live." - Sarah Kendzior

My gawdamn long-time anthem right here! #Algorithm #ElGrito (2002)

“She viewed ethnic cleansing, famine and genocide as direct threats to her furniture.” -Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

“Too many people in the u.s. support death and destruction without being aware of it. They indirectly support the killing of people without ever having to look at the corpses.” - Assata Shakur

“If we are not committed to saving this earth we will be buying designer air filters and gas masks with little Nike swishes on them.” —Assata Shakur

you can’t possibly be practicing community care while simultaneously breathing covid all over folks.

of course i know the answer based on how most of society has been moving in this post-pandemic simulation, but i’m curious how you might honestly answer this: “Ask yourself whether the global pandemic has increased or diminished your personal sense of Ubuntu.”

"We have to talk about liberating minds as well as liberating society." -Angela Davis

thinking about the hand washing response to covid (an airborne virus) and how it was really just a metaphor…

at cafe buying a vegan pastry: cashier said, “i like your shirt.” i said, “i like that you’re masked.”

all this chatter about “solidarity” and “community” with an absolute refusal to acknowledge an ongoing pandemic steadily disabling and killing folks just because wearing masks is scary apparently.

wow! how did i miss this movie?! it's almost as if hollywood knew in 2020 that covid was airborne, uv-lights were helpful in mitigating the virus, & their depiction of a lockdown was more of a martial law enforced one unlike the far less strict one in the u.s. (in select cities).

what creighton leigh said, damn it!

most of us can’t afford the cost of living...

“Nobody talks about how Black American parents have only been parenting for 160 years which means many of our ancestors learned to be parents as enslaved people on a plantation and that impacts every aspect of how we navigate parenthood as Black people raising Black children in an antiblack country”

“Maybe they realize spread of unmitigated illness is a tool of colonization that harms systemically marginalized groups, and they actively choose not to engage in this.”

“Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well- warmed, and well-fed.” ― Herman Melville

it would be dope if recording artists started an “artists against mass disability and eugenics in the covid era” movement!
