Seen many folks - fully vaxxed + boosted, mind you - posting about coming down with Covid this past week. NO ONE IS FULLY IMMUNE. STUDIES SHOW EVERY TIME YOU CONTRACT COVID, NO MATTER HOW MILD, IT DOES EXPONENTIAL PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR BODY & IMMUNE SYSTEM. PLEASE wear a damn mask.

We're still in a pandemic, and it's getting worse. Get your bivalent booster, avoid crowded events if possible, and fucking give a shit about disabled people. WE don't have the luxury of pretending COVID is over.

I made this as part of processing my ongoing anger with how the US specifically, though also many other countries, have completely ignored managing the covid pandemic for the last several years.

This is your reminder: there was a new vaccine released in September of 2023. If you have not had a vaccine since then, you need one.

April, 2023

“Are you okay?”

“But You’re doing great..”

Really? Am I? They have no clue. These are people close to me. It hurts so much to be living with an “invisible illness”.

Today, brain fog, forgetfulness, memory loss, fatigue, dizzy spells, and muscle weakness are plaguing me. With a constant subtle migraine..almost daily. I cry. Every. Day. I’m just barely trying to hold it together.

I participated in a local art show, and the opening reception was last night, I couldn’t even get out of bed. No one reached out..until this morning, 1 friend noticed I wasn’t there. And messaged me to check in. I felt so alone.

Every day, I feel like I’m closer and closer to the grave, and I’m scared. I’m only 36. I feel like I’m withering away. [2 years and 4 months in]

I first got Covid in December 2020, then in December 2021.

I created this journal, in hopes that I can reach other people living with chronic illness, to say, you are not alone. 🖤

Wine Windows (‘Buchette del vino’), Florence, Italy,

These are small windows with inscriptions found on the walls of some wine-producing palaces and used for years to sell wine in bottles to the public, without the need for a shop so avoiding taxes.

Cosimo de Medici, a clever banker and lord of Florence, was the mastermind behind this new sales practice. This way of doing business served a few purposes, from enabling landowners who’d long invested in agriculture to increase their revenues to reducing overcrowding in public places that might lead to public disturbances.

With approximately 180 charming wine windows scattered throughout the historic centre alone, it’s clear that this was a prosperous business in its day.

On an architectural level, they are reminiscent of religious tabernacles, with a door-like shape, wooden shutters crowned with an arch, and elegant stone or wooden frames. In some cases, they were simply an opening into the wooden doors of the palace (as seen at Palazzo Naldini in Piazza Duomo).

Behind these small windows laid the palace’s cellar, where a servant presided over the sale of wine at specific times of the day, which were indicated by a stone plaque positioned near the opening.

But they also served as a useful tool to prevent contagion during the Bubonic Plague or Black Death, which wiped out 1/3 of its population (about 25 million) in the 14th -18th centuries.

Note: some of these have recently been reused to avoid contagion from COVID-19.

Liminal Spaces

Recently, I've noticed a growing trend online of people posting photos of liminal spaces and forming internet communities around this concept.

So what are liminal spaces?

In your own daily life, you may have noticed that there are certain places or states of being in which you may have felt different, "off", or uncomfortable. These places are often associated with liminal spaces and there's a reason why they may seem so uncanny or feel surreal.

The word "liminal" comes from the latin word limen, which in English means "threshold".

The anthropologist, Arnold van Gennep first wrote about the concept of liminality when he developed the idea of rites of passage.

He defined:

a "rite of separation" (preliminary rite)

a "rite of transition" (liminary rite)

and a "rite of incorporation" (post-liminal rite)

This transition theory was formed to explain the pattern he observed when it comes to changes in people's lives.

In short, liminal spaces are transitional or transformative spaces. It's the uncertain transition between where you've been, and where you're going- whether it means physically, mentally or metaphorically.

As a result, these places are often associated with an abandoned or sad atmosphere. They are also usually tied to feelings of despair, confusion, and hopelessness- as well as wonder, awe, and curiosity. Often it is also tied to the idea of a disconnect from the concept of reality or a neglected aesthetic.

To be in a liminal space means to be on the precipice of something, but not quite there yet. Often, when we are in liminal spaces, we have a feeling as if we are on the verge of discovering something new.

This can, of course, take the form of a literal physical place, but it can also take the form of physiological or mental states. There are liminal spaces, but maybe also liminal people- liminal careers, liminal relationships, and liminal events.

A recent example of this can be found during our own lived experience of going through COVID. A worldwide pandemic that brought a halt to our usual routines and day-to-day functions.

(And because this was the case, I think it should come as no surprise that this was when the idea of liminal spaces became more popular online.)

Perhaps what these bizzare/surreal/spooky pictures of abandoned places, and empty rooms allows us to do is to come to terms with our own feelings of confusion or dread.

For some of us (or even a majority of us), maybe we are currently living in a liminal space.

Maybe things don't make sense for you right now, and that's okay.

Maybe things are weird, different, or unfamiliar- and the rules, guiding belief systems, or structures you inhabit have changed, and you've lost your own footing within all that.

But perhaps- if you allow it, these conditions are precisely what is necessary for you to come to a deeper understanding of yourself. Only through these experiences of uncertainty can we learn to tap into the permanently available recreative power we all carry within each of us.

Maybe we could also learn to see the beauty, awe, and mystique that comes with these pictures- and to appreciate them for what they are:

A way for us to just "be" and be okay with it.

Zero COVID for me but not for thee

There are two ways to do COVID safety.

One is Zero COVID; this is NOT the approach many of the COVID-cautious are taking. Instead, there are many whose behavior is better characterized as self-preserving.

Zero COVID means safety for all people, in all places. This means fighting for people who, YES, hate you, disagree with you, who don’t deserve it, and who are definitely not doing the best they can. This also means being open to criticism and dialogue about your own behaviors.

Nobody is perfect, and nobody is saying COVID safety is easy or ideal, but if you make risky choices and advertise them to COVID-cautious communities, you’ve signed up to be held accountable by cautious people who feel your behavior is maligned with the mission–get rid of COVID. If you decide the best response is blocking, lashing out, belittling, or anything else besides saying “thank you” for the call-in, you are not Zero COVID, you are personally trying to avoid COVID. Those are not the same thing.
