Capitalism Sucks - Tumblr Posts
Reporting every ad that interferes with my attempts to scroll through them as malicious until they stop or they make me stop.
class consciousness is kind of a burden sometimes like, what do you mean i have very little chances of rising above my station in this lifetime because i have no generational wealth and capital ? what do you mean ill work till the day i die, wail in misery and not enjoy the fruit of my labor ? sucks :(
Maybe, just maybe if I lay down in the forest long enough the mushrooms will consume me and I won't have to deal with capitalism anymore... 🍄🍄🍄
FuckIt. Guilt trip people if that’s what it will take.
I have a sore throat, probably because I drank a lot of beverages hotter than I should have the last few days, but I don’t have any home testing kits, so I’m going to extra keep my distance from my immunocompromised people, and regular keep my distance from everyone else.
It’s not an ideal situation, but I don’t intend to knowing make anyone sick. Especially people I claim to actually care about.
UGH.
you know what boils my blood.
over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."
i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.
but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.
today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.
the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.
so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.
I don’t want a job I want a cottage in the woods and paint, read and eat berries
