"everyone suddenly seems really stupid and aggressive" its brain damage from covid

"im sick all the time now and everyone at work is sick all the time" its immune system damage from covid

"im sick again, but i tested and its not covid haha" its still probably covid, rapid covid tests have been estimated at 30% positive accuracy by researchers who are factoring in strain mutation and user error

"no one can drive anymore, what happened" its brain damage from covid

"why am i suddenly mentally ill" its brain damage from covid

"i started feeling weak, breathless, confused, distracted, irritable and in pain but it was a while after i got covid so its not long covid" long covid sets in a random number of months after your covid infection and also asymptomatic covid can cause it

"ive still never gotten covid, isnt that great" unless you are an undiscovered genetic freak (possible) or youve been living in a clean room, you have had a covid infection. it may have been asymptomatic

"im sick but its from blood clots, heart disease, asthma, nerve damage, narcolepsy, etc" covid attacks the entire body and can cause all of these things as downstream effects

"ive already had covid so i probably have pretty good immunity by now" covid does not work like this. the more times you are infected, the more permanently injured you will become, and the more vulnerable to further covid infections and infections of all other viruses and bacteria

"ive been vaccinated so im safe" covid does not work like this. vaccination lowers your likelihood of developing severe infection, it does not protect you from contracting the virus

"well what am i supposed to do" wear a mask

Currently drinking a spiced hot chocolate as my feet rest on the radiator and I look out at the garden I just did work in while it gently rains. Also scrolling Tumblr

Now I'm cozy under a blanket and the window is ajar

look. it is true that things associated with femininity and womanhood have been socially positioned as "less than" things associated with masculinity and manhood. but it is also possible to talk about this without concluding any of the following:

  • this is biological (it's not!)
  • femininity is actually superior to masculinity (why does anything have to be better than anything else?)
  • appealing to gender socialisation theory (please read some transfeminism. please.)
  • women are therefore rewarded for proximity to manliness, or can always get ahead by taking on manhood (talk to one butch. or woman of colour. or trans woman. or any number of other socially masculinised women in your life I beg of you)
  • every single instance of someone criticising something targeted at women is inherently due to misogyny (taylor's private jet isn't gonna fuck you)

it is in fact possible to talk about misogyny without reinforcing ideas rooted in oppositional sexism and without talking about femininity as if it's an inherently magical mystical thing that is held in the beautiful womb or whatever
