We are looking for contributions for a new zine trying to document what it feels like to still be #COVIDing, pushed into social isolation, while just about everyone else has normalized #COVID19. Whether out of caution or because of pre-existing conditions, disabilities, #LongCOVID, we think it is important to communicate how the current situation affects many of us living under the neoliberal system of individualised responsibility.
Working title: Testimonials of the collectively abandoned
Examples: You may be debating, if it is safe to go see a dentist, even though you had a tooth ache for months. Or you might discuss with your partner, if a museum visit is safe enough. Or you may argue with family about the upcoming holidays. By describing practical examples like these we might be able to illustrate the collective abandonment too many of us are experiencing.
@MediaActivist Yes! You are so right. You would not believe how is was raking my brain and could not recall it, wondering which podcast had an episode re: social conditions of wrestlers, ever since i know you are very interested in this topic. It's a great episode. And they have many more.
"Capitalism requires a reserve army of labour, a huge number of people who are out of & desperate for work. But what capitalism also tells us, that if you are in that reserve army and you are disabled, you become disposable. But that does not mean it does not find other ways of extracting profit from them. Disabled people are profitable to the nursing home industry, sick people are profitable to big pharma and the health insurance industry." ~ Astra Taylor
I have over 5000 records, but we never listen to music anymore. Because we noticed that if we do our neighbors take justification from it to be even louder and more reckless.
