mh (~), tarot, family, neo-animism, covid
Freaked out pretty bad after reading a BoingBoing article about the horrible effects of [REDACTED; EXTREME PSYCH HAZARD] if you catch COVID-19.
Got immense comfort from my stepdaughter [the Tarot of the Silicon] Dawn and I'm so grateful for her.
Basic message: Listen, Stepparent, you I can't tell you if you caught it at the grocery store the other day. Look at this here Wheel of Fortune: you got the same odds as anyone else in your place. But you've been cagey, you've been surprisingly adult, and this hasn't killed any of your friends, thank the gods, so it probably won't kill you. And hey, if it does, you're a martyr who some people will remember fondly. Keep being yourself and you'll probably live to be an annoying old fart.

From the Bojack Horseman subreddit, appropriately enough.
I thought of some of you when I read this. And I thought of some of me when I read this.
As I'm fond of saying in my most morbid humours: "Don't worry---you *will* die! You just have to be a bit patient."

We just can't seem to kick that onion powder. (hat tip: @Leucrotta)
Of course, I'm not like the other raccoons. Add "gelatin" and "polythene" to the front of that list, though, and...

uspol, snark, gripe
While I support the values behind tweets like this, god they're getting on my nerves, because it's just such a weak-ass argument.
"If you could buy me a drink yesterday, why couldn't you buy me another one today and every day?"
Uh... because it costs money? And because doing it every day would cost a lot more money?
Deferring payments once in an emergency does NOT mean the same institution can afford to defer all payments forever. Delaying evictions because of force majeure does not mean that all evictions can stop forever. These things don't scale that easily.
The really maddening thing is that the criticism is still basically correct. All these things--housing, healthcare, education, debt--desperately need to be restructured. But that still doesn't make 365 days magically equivalent to one day.

BOOMERS: make dehumanizing overgeneralizations about diverse groups of people that ultimately inhibit empathy and social progress and only hurt good people in the target group who don't fit the stereotype

GEN XERS: are instead clean and upright people blessed with good looks, incisive intellects, an unswerving innate sense of morality, and just an all around richer personhood, because you can totally predict this sort of thing from a fucking two-digit number
