That time at the cat adoption centre when a kitten reached through a portal to make contact with their future self, who knows better than to engage with the past, regardless of cuteness.
Seeing Serious People talk about Serious Issues while past-tensing Covid is like playing two truths and a lie.
It's impossible to trust people to deal with issues while they aggressively ignore how repeated, compounded, unimpeded Covid infections have a negative impact on literally all of the issues on this planet.
Officials ignoring airborne transmission was a deliberate choice and we got screwed. This piece past-tenses the airborne mitigations that could’ve been put into place to prevent the damage done. Damage is still being done and we could prevent more damage.
Clean air and respirator use could be implemented by the general public now, without government mandate and Covid spread could be legit reduced now.
Denial is a choice that people continue to make.
I dunno. I just opened Signal after it updated and it was like “hey gurl can we have access to yr contacts to see if they’re on here, totes for yr convenience” and I’m like no the heck you cannot and then it goes “m’kay we’ll remind you later.” Like, the whole “we’re gonna pester you by pretending we’re helping” was a shit move when FB was pulling it c.2008. Not what I want to see from a supposedly secure texting app that supposedly doesn’t store info.
