the oppression here, and in the naomir wolf situation, is that someone asked them to get a vaccine and asked them to put on a mask for a flight. that's the extent of the tyranny. some disparate requests from public health campaigns and private businesses. give me a fucking break — PolitiTweet.org

tracy flick is a nihilist but she knows she's a nihilist; everyone else in the movie is also a nihilist but they have no clue they're nihilists, maybe with the exception of tammy metzger, who is far and away the most sympathetic character in the film — PolitiTweet.org

i don't know what's happened to my brain over the past several years but i honestly think tracy flick is based at this point — PolitiTweet.org

@RadCentrism @fitterhappierAJ thanks! it wasn't a big deal. the kids were never symptomatic. my husband and i just felt a little run down. young kids (and their parents) get coronaviruses every year, so it felt pretty typical. we got vax'd, too. i'm not especially worried about variants. i think it'll be ok. — PolitiTweet.org

@SloshuaReynolds they take their cues from you, so if they see that you (and also everyone else) have a mask on and you are not freaking out or dying, they won't be immediately panicked. they still may not like it (hey, it kind of sucks!) but that's a different order of magnitude from trauma — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@RadCentrism don't do em much harm tho — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@RadCentrism i think the theory is the masks are supposed to protect other people from the kids' germs — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

there's a kind of zen approach that encompasses both 'this is dumb' and 'yet not a big deal' that accounts for my approach to 90% of ridiculous stuff i'm asked to do in an airport and covid19 has not changed that — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

i don't think they're traumatized by wearing masks. i think it's sort of stupid that anyone ever asked that toddlers wear masks, considering that they're instantly so wet they're useless, but airlines have notoriously stupid TOS. dealing with dumb bullshit is part of life — PolitiTweet.org

life is about 2% fun, 88% waiting, 5% bullshit you do because you have to for whatever reason, and 5% genuinely unpleasant drudgery. i encourage developing an extremely potent imagination so you can just think about other stuff 98% of the time. is this dissociating? well, — PolitiTweet.org

at least the mask thing is temporary. wait until the kid hears about all the stuff they make you do just to go to the doctor — PolitiTweet.org
