When random people interrogate me about my pandemic safety choices, maybe I should start turning the questions on them:
"Do you imagine a scenario where you start to care about brain damage? Is there a potential future where you no longer feel comfortable with the prospect of disabling and killing other people? What would it take for you to prioritize science and facts over cognitive dissonance and vibes?"
"After a short pause to rethink, this is the natural continuation of the CD ESOTERIK store from the early 2000's in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. Formerly on Ste. Catherine Street in a basement beside a comic book shop."
This is a podcast by my brother and his friends from CD Esoterik!
If you like obscure and esoteric music from around the world, you might enjoy the podcast.
Five and a half years of living in pandemic isolation:
I hit an isolation challenge tonight and realized I no longer know anyone who is also living in full solo isolation without human touch. (Your 3 week solo writer's retreat or "pandemic isolation" with a partner, a dog, and backyard parties is not comparable; do not test me on this or I will block you.)
There are are many different, specific types of loneliness & this is one.
A new "feature" of year six of the ongoing, unchecked covid pandemic is that a large and growing number of my previously covid-serious friends are changing gears to take unprecedented covid exposure risks.They cite a wide range of reasons/justifications/rationalizations.
My heart is not big enough to hold all the worry. Or loneliness.
But not gonna lie, it feels more and more like I'm in a tontine.
@abucci It's a pleasure to meet someone else still going strong!
