You voted to fuck up everyone who is different than you. You're laughing and clapping because you think you're getting your wish. You don't know it, but you also voted to fuck up yourself and everyone like you. Nobody wins under this regime. Nobody wins. Everybody suffers. 14/x

âYou donât need a respirator for pollen, take antihistaminesâ âNo point masking for smoke unless youâre wearing it 24/7â âThey donât work for Covid unless fit testedâ Weâve failed at harm reduction. Even if something isnât 100%, if you reduce risk & harm, thatâs worth it!

This is ableism at its most ugly. This is a person whoâs embraced eugenics whole heartedly and yet somehow manages to convince themselves theyâre noble and âstrongâ. He firmly believes heâs better than someone like me, despite having lost his moral compass ages ago

TL;DR: Creative genius isnât about forcing brilliance. Itâs about making space for it to find you. Schedule some unstructured thought time. Your brain will thank you for it.
