2020

Was anyone else just super preoccupied with cleaning during the pandemic? I didn't used to spend so much time at home and it's remarkable how much debris accumulates in a tiny apartment even after a day

(the dancing was a Truly Decentralized Dance Party which was a nice evening but something I felt too embarrassed to keep up with tbh)

Currently Reading: Kingdom of Needle and Bone by Mira Grant.

I will say that reading it now as we're making our way through our own pandemic, it is eerie how close everything is represented in this book that has actually happened. I haven't finished it yet, but we shall see what the ending of this book holds for me. And maybe for our own pandemic...

"It was sometimes easy for adults to think of children as objects, things that could be moved around on a whim. [...] Children were people from the moment they came into the world, and like all people, they had their own ideas about things. They wanted."

-Mira Grant, Kingdom of Needle and Bone

okay thats sad... I know the artists like them and while i didnt liked that ship and it wasnt my cup of tea, it brought her so much joy and to receive hate and ‘cheers’ since her otp has sunk, that’s...rude. Wtf. I know how is to hold to a character/ship in moments of needs, i clinged to mines even if it not everyones cup of tea and it help me deal with a lot of bs i had to endure (death of people i loved, the p*ndemic situation, uni stress, etc), and to read that artists was dealing with depression and that ship literally keep her happy. I dont know. That really hit me home.

#choco rambles #cw: death mention #cw: pandemic #choco vents #sorta #i know how the fuck is to feel harrassed over a god damn ship #and max knows how dear are for me and how they helped me cope many bs #and to read someone who is suffering something similar it really made me cry

I'm so glad I'm triple vaccinated. Can't imagine how bad it would have been to get covid without that, if this is how my symptoms are now

#French speaks #I am not having a good time #But everything seems to be progressing rather quickly which is a great mercy #I handle coughing SO BADLY #Cw: covid #Cw: pandemic #Personal #But like. I am upright. I am moving. I am coughing but that's the worst of it

(Life update #2... I think)

(Hey all. Alex here again. If you're wondering where I've been, life has been hectic but interesting. Outside of caring for my mom who suffered a sciatic nerve injury and dealing with my mental health again, it's been crazy. So, my mental health comes back into play. Last time I mentioned it, I said that I was kinda being forced into going to a concert that I wasn't interested in, and even worrying about. Well, fortunately, it got better. I was told by my sister and my mom that if I wanted to stay home, I could, so I will. I intend on staying home, primarily because I'm a bit uneasy in going to a concert nowadays that's indoors, because of the pandemic and me having gotten the virus last summer, so I want to be extra cautious. Also, I feel much safer at home and much more relaxed. With that out of the way, I'll see if I can post here more.)

Instead of coal, Santa gave the bad kids COVID and the next super wave of the pandemic started. He had to go on the news and reveal himself to apologize as the good kids also got crazy sick.

I feel like this shouldn’t be a hot take but maybe if you take into consideration what happened in the last three years it makes sense people are exhausted and grieving. Let’s not be so hard on ourselves for going through a pandemic, for going through loss, for going through economic recession and political instability, while being forced to go on as if nothing is happening. Let’s not fall into the mindset that we are weak because we are suffering, or that we deserve that suffering, because when you think about it, too much has been going on, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by this.

Is it just me or did the pandemic just fuck everyone up?

Oh uh, am spiraling a little bit over having been a bad friend to specific people during the pandemic. One needed me there physically (which, I couldn't leave the house I was so scared about the 'rona before we had a vaccine) and the other needed me there emotionally (and I was wound so tight I didn't have anything to spare.)

I just need to say it out loud: sometimes somebody will see you as a bad friend because you have, each of you have needs and those needs clash. I couldn't get myself out of my panic state to help Maria, and I didn't have enough left to help Pip.

I think I can just be sad about that now that I have said that out loud. But sad is better than spiraling, so I'll sit with that this afternoon.

CW: historical disableist language, death of a young disabled person

Agnes was one of the millions of victims of the “Spanish Flu” pandemic aged 22 in a care institution.

What honestly really strikes me from this is that, while the language used to describe her impairment would have changed these days, it’s not unlikely that nothing else would have.

She might be living in her own home, but it’s just as possible she would not, especially if she had no family involved to fight for her, and if she was, she might actually been more isolated than she really was; given how horribly underfunded the care sector is, so many young disabled people are increasingly either institutionalised in unsuitable places where they can’t get the choices they deserve to have in their lives, or dumped in their own homes with only an alarm system and a few visits throughout the day for food prep etc, and no chances to socialise, learn or pursue their outside interests.

At least Agnes clearly had a peer group and friends who cared about her, despite facing disableist abuse from the wider community. I hope her biting episodes were more about asserting herself than sensory overwhelm or worse.

And of course, these days she could too easily end up a victim of COVID in the way she really was of the Spanish Flu. The highest percentage of COVID deaths has and continues to be from women or people read as women living in institutions.

Her name was Agnes, and her life mattered.

One of my friends wasn't taking the pandemic seriously and was insisting that I had a glorified cold, all the while I laid at home dying. In the end I passed away, and they held a monologue at my funeral about how I faked my death and I was part of a worldwide conspiracy. People believed them and left.

This was really out of character for them.

When I think about being tired and feel like there are no reasons to be this tired I have to keep reminding myself that it's been over two years since the pandemic started, that I have an illness that I deal with 24/7, that the news are filled with stories that worry me, that there's a global economic and political crisis and I am still told to pretend it is business as usual. It is exhausting to be alive right now. It is okay to be exhausted. It is okay to be angry and frustrated. It is okay to want things to change. It is okay to take a break. It is okay to need more, to want more.
