spring 20/20 infection

the world is sick with virus and vitriol the world needs healing the world needs recovery the world needs relief the world needs restructuring

tweets going viral kill all the landlords, they’ll be just fine people in charge are incompetent or malevolent or both spreading misinformation, to what end? are they trying to kill us?

up is down the virus will be gone before we know it! bad is good we’re doing such a great job!

all they care about is looking good when things are bad so used to stonewalling that they forgot how to accomplish bitch ass motherfucker cuomo lockdown the city already billionaire aristocrats bickering while thousands suffer and die

amidst all the panic and chaos, more power-grabbing than we’ve seen before another attempted us coup in venezuela if we can’t see each other in person, all communication is digital and under surveillance primary elections are postponed, or worse, not postponed did putin, xi, trump, et al conspire to make this happen?

restaurants are take-out only cars and pedestrians have abandoned the streets of once bustling city centers those who dare to venture out only do so with a mask or a respirator

hello, good evening, and remain indoors! essential workers must keep working stay away from each other if you can, work from home

failing to provide respirators failing to provide ventilators failing to provide testing failing to contact-trace failing to quarantine failing to do their jobs

remember when we could have other thoughts? the days are blurring together my belly is becoming bloated from fear

relics from before the ‘demic:

keys

metrocard

shoes

do i still even need them? do they spark joy?

spread knowledge throughout your team don’t let the knowledge gather in silos of one or a few people what if someone gets hit by a bus owned by the virus?

coronavirus the cockblocker i remember touch i remember swiping right i remember kissing i remember fucking i remember spooning we are all incels now

six degrees of coronavirus shocked at 1000 cases total shocked at 1000 cases in a day shocked at 1000 deaths total shocked at 1000 deaths in a day shocked at 3.3 million unemployment claims in a week shocked at 6.6 million unemployment claims in a week shocked at a 36% stock market plunge in a month shocked when these numbers seem small in another few weeks

afraid to walk outside afraid to take the subway afraid to go to the grocery store afraid to order dinner afraid to die afraid to kill

this was all a big misunderstanding

Recognize trance - notice and turn Allow trance - pause Investigate trance - roygbiv scan Nourish yourself - roygbiv scan

remember who you are come back to me we are the one who knows take the exquisite risk

biking with a mask at a 6 foot distance from others is safe getting to the park is easy with so few cars on the road the weather’s getting warmer the days are getting longer the sun is shining the birds are singing the breeze is blowing open the windows clean the house a relaxed clear centered home is pleasant to stay inside
