#all of this!!!

[i-still-mask-because]

I still mask because the vast majority of my friends under the age of 30 who have caught COVID have long COVID, and that's just the young people I know.

I still mask because even if I myself weren't chronically ill and COVID weren't a disease that causes chronic illness in "low-risk" people (which it very much is), I would still care about protecting my chronically ill and disabled friends (and strangers!).

I still mask because you can't always tell by looking at someone whether they're at-risk, and you can still spread disease when you're presymptomatic.

I still mask because chronically ill people shouldn't be discarded no matter what, much less over what is for most people no more an inconvenience than wearing a seatbelt or carrying narcan.

To everyone still masking: I appreciate you; thank you so, so much. Words cannot express how much it means to me that you're keeping it up; whether like me you've been masking this whole time, or whether you've resumed masking after stopping. Thank you for caring and taking action.

on a more positive note, i love being the generation that remembers when videos had a bajillion text boxes and rectangles placed on top to link you to different sites and you had to hover your mouse over multiple parts of the video so you could find the X button to clear them. it was like a lil puzzle!!

hate being the generation that remembers no ads on YouTube & the annoyance when we first saw 1 ad every 10 videos, then 1 every 5 videos, then on every video, then multiple ads within a single video, only for YouTube to market paying for Premium™️ to ‘get rid of ads!’ which weren’t even there at the start

the city where we live doesn't allow public barbecues so my brother fucking welded a grill to a handcart and now hosts "chill and grill sessions" where he sends all his friends his live location so they can hunt him down on their bikes with sausages in their backpacks while he carts it around evading the police like some sort of barbecue vigilante, grilling on the run. i have never been prouder of him

This Pride I hope that all of you never ever forget that no amount of sanitizing your sex life or sanding down of your LGBT edges will make bigots accept you. So, don’t debase yourself by capitulating an inch to them, especially in ways that throw your fellow community members under the bus.

I had to add these tags bc they're brilliant and accurate

One thing about „Long Face” I haven’t seen discussed yet is its “perfectly premeditated flaw”. While it’s obviously primarily meant to bait Louis, it does so in a very smart way.

The writers have gone out of their way to make us understand that Louis has built himself up to be this super posh art dealer. He’s a connoisseur, he has “ze eye”, he is extremely distinguished in his tastes. Or, as Lestat probably sees it: He’s super pretentious, “like every pompous art student” he’s ever eaten. (I think he gets it from his mum, but that would be a whole essay.) And a part of this is: He does not like camp. This is quite evident from the way he talks about “Lestat’s tastelessness on the float” in episode 1x7, but also reflects in his reaction to the “weirdness” of the Paris theatre.

Except - I think he secretly does like it, because otherwise he would not love Lestat. Him being in denial of his love for Lestat and of his enjoyment of “camp” art almost seem to stem from the same place within him - he is still denying parts of himself.

So, Lestat writing a song for him, that is this camp? That literally says “Come appraise me” to his art dealer husband? That says “see me for what I am and stop lying to yourself and pretending that you don’t love me and that you don’t enjoy having fuuuuuuun”? The lack of metaphor has never been more striking. I’m so here for this.

I still mask because I refuse to participate in the widespread gaslighting that's happening on every level right now, and I refuse to allow the people around me to comfortably bury their heads in the sand and passively support eugenics. Masking is a way for us to take back our power and resist the destructive systems we're forced to participate in.
