Caramelldansen Turns 20 This Year And Frankly I Am Not Prepared For That.

you know even if a homeless person or a starving person is in that position because of their own "bad decisions" i don't care. it doesn't matter. no supposed financial misstep is enough to condemn someone to homelessness or poverty.

if i'm being completely honest I can't describe in words how much I don't give a shit cashiers "smile less now" or don't talk to you enough. I used to be a cashier and when I describe the job I currently do (deliveries) where every damn move I make is tracked and displayed on a board publicly with my name calculating productivity people say it sounds dystopian but let me tell you it's heaven compared to cashiering. the tasks of a cashier aren't difficult, but people literally view you as a NPC they can use as a personal punching bag. oh and when you experience verbal abuse and sexual harassment you get to just stand there and endure it. one of my coworkers in her 80s was in tears because of how a customer treated her. she should've been allowed to kill

“why did you respond in 23 seconds” i would rip my heart out of my chest for you if you asked. Next question

also bush n musk being the surnames of two of the biggest losers in this world is a vicious homophobic attack on its own

people who have not worked in the service industry in years (if at all, ever) will be like “you have to work SATURDAYS? 😰” yeah man things you guys go to are open those days. So there i must fucking be

what im saying is this. and yeah, if every or most of the people in this situation were also masking, that would be perfect - but it only takes a few people's decisions (improving ventilation in an area) to increase the protection of every single person who will ever be in that space. when somebody masks, they're protecting themselves, and if they're sick or contagious, they're protecting the people around them - but only when they're in that space! no matter what we do, short of highly enforced mask mandates (very, very difficult to both put into action and enforce), people are not going to mask everywhere.

and we can say they should. and we can educate people on why they should. and we will! but it is not going to make everyone mask! our energy would all collectively be better used, imo, into educating on the insane improvements in respiratory spread when you improve air circulation. that means a space can become more accessible if only half of people are masking, or even less. and it will make you, dear reader who masks, even MORE protected against illness in ALL spaces.
