I respect people when they say whatever the hell they want to say because they feel so. I would hate living in a world in which celebrities (and not only) would have to silence themselves and water down their speeches so that people of bad faith could not twist their words -- especially when they are not even offensive, hateful or whatever.
We are all unperfect, limited human beings. Expecting famous persons to not be is illusory and unfairly oppressive.
I guess more of like personal observation from where it is here. It's been a while since I've been updated, classes have been missile-ing my sched but things are getting better.
I think the last time we were updated, the quarantine/isolation date was pushed to may 15th? which is in a few days now..
They're starting to open the beaches again. and I think more people are allowed to work for their companies/small businesses again? they're opening a major park/public area tmrw..
there are like 33k cases around the counties
I'm grateful I can go outside so freely, social distancing. hike/run around the neighborhood. I miss the gym so so SO much. not affected, but I'd like to start working again.
I'm a pretty reserved person (surprise!), but I still miss being able to go outside and be w distant proximity with crowds. Something about watching em from a distance makes me feel like society's moving and life's starting again and that makes me happy somehow .. I hate not being able to converse and interact w people properly. survival mode is waay different from living, and it feels like our humanity's been stripped from us and I hate it..
It's usually sadness or indifference in people's eyes. I bonded w this one woman who made eye contact w me this one time, gesturing like, wtf are these people crowding the aisle for. the casual reaction was warming hahahaha
People I've seen when getting supplies haven't really been social distancing properly, and it feels like the wave hasn't really hit? yet. at the back of my mind, it feels so terribly surreal, but in actuality, time's still passed and the globe's still spinning, but it feels like we're just defeating ourselves more than anything bc progress still needs to occur/happen
.. of course there's still humor to the overall situation. Zooming, and like, a willingness to facetime and voice call, when texts were more preferred before Everyday tasks all seem like major events, and u can't help but wonder lol is this what life is like now? hahahahahahahaha family arguments are more pronounced, but it's just cute bc most of the time, u can see the 2 parties get over themselves. eventually lol the occasional, it just b that way sometimes getting checked out when ur out/checking someone out, but not being able to act bc u don't wanna risk it :skull:
how things literally, literally anything turn into jokes bc u start wondering if it's just absurd when u scale it back to life, and then THAT's made a joke
