i think that what mkes covid more, i don't know, powerful?, in the sense that it has had a huge impact on culture, is that it didn't go away in a short window of time. when you think about all the other things that have happened recently, the nort korea war scare, the iran war scare, etc. all those went away within a couple weeks. they left the zetgeist as quickly as they came. and in recetn years, ocurrences seem to always up the ante when it comes to extremes. today i was in the car wioth my sister and boyfriend driving them to the airport. i mentioned the tropical storm in the gulf and how i suspect it could reach category two by the time it makes landfall, even though its predicted to just be a storm. i explained that this is becasue the last hurricane was expected to reach three, but made it all the way to cat five. the funny part here was that none of us could remember the name of it, even though it flirted wioth hitting us. that's sort of what i mean by entering and exiting our minds. and covid hasn't done that. it's lingered. but its done it enough so that even though people are dying from it everyday, our minds have tried tyheir best to move on. so we don't think of that anymore, just how it affects us personally. which is wild. but becasue of that, i suspect that when iot does eventually die down, by like the end of next year, maybe into twenty-twenty-two, that we will also just kinnda forget about it. like right now, people will joke about how its crazy to think we were all pressed up against each other at clubs and shows, how we would eat buirthday cake that someone just blew their breath on or took a bite, but i feel that stuff will quickly return and people won't see it as weird anymmore. that that enlightnement will be cast aside in favor of stuff that gratifies us. i'm not taking a moral stance here, i'm just observing

i tweeted something that enraged a lot of right wing idiots and bots and while i want to delete it cause it wasn't even that funny or amusing of a tweet, i don't wnat them to think that they somehow won or that i'm backpeddaling. i just think it's a corny tweet that i left up too long. i don't care about their moral outrage, just the aesthetics of my online presence

i've tried to get back on instagram but everytime it sends me the two-fa code, i get anxious and just ignore it. maybe some day soon
