when you read an excellent science-focussed interview on the COVID-19 pandemic, but it's by a Trotzkyist organisation :blobblocraccoon: But there are also a couple of really good texts by anarchists, and maybe I should help distributing them here.

In this vain I make a shoutout to @MediaActivist, who wrote an excellent analysis, which I boost with much more delight than only subtooting Trotzkyists :molotov:

#Covid19 #Covid #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp

@aral common, that doesn't make sense. You can even compare characters that only exist in fiction books (their motivation, actions, character traits, etc.). Thus history books make it possible to compare living with dead people.

For me, "no one masks any more" is a all the more a reason to #maskUp. I don't fully understand people who tend to think this is a reason noit to mask¹...

¹ I've learned that this is about #peerPressure and #cognitiveDissonance. As a queer/ND/disabled veganarchist, I might be less susceptible to these effects, partly because I'm just used to stand out & don't give a fuck about social norms. Nevertheless, the power of these effects and the regular clashes of cognitive realities I experience daily are quite frightening.

Be queer
Mask up!

Neuro-fabulous anarchists that are cast out of collectives due to anti-ND bias, unite!
