Pandemic for Christ

Please read Matthew 6:31-32, Philippians 4:19; John 14:1 In November 2019, before the pandemic started, I decided to go back to the Philippines. I was very confident that all will go well because I had a friend who was supposed to start a small business with me. We agreed that she will fund it while I help her manage the business. However, the pandemic forced my friend to use the money that was…

Chibnall’s bluntly revealed that the BBC was providing an extraordinarily slashed budget for the marketing of s12 and Flux, which Peter Capaldi said was the exact same thing that happened with s9 and s10. And the thing that has always gotten on my nerves about people complaining about the marketing the last few years is a) THE CAPALDI ERA WAS EXACTLY THE SAME, and b) the people mistaking DWM coverage and readership as marketing that matters outside of fandom. The steady flow of info like this (and Mandip talking about how she and Jodie could share so little screen time because of Covid mandates, to stop production from shutting down in case one of them got sick) vs fandom entitlement that could have seen all of these things if they thought about it for two seconds. I dunno.

#and y’know immediately people are countering with WELL THEN WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD ALL ALONG #THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATED #As if #that’s how this works #at all. #I dunno I feel like it was so obvious the BBC was choking the life out of this era and expecting the impossible with so little. #every objective problem was the BBC’s fault not the fucking showrunner. #and of course y’all know how I feel about the pandemic context. the PRE-VACCINE pandemic context. #Christ. I dunno.

have a friend who keeps talking about how they keep getting sick and im like this is a new development its not normal You Have Long Covid i really dont know why ppl seem to be so thick about covid in particular it makes me bonkers.

#didnt take a covid test when they got back from vacation #even though they were sick MULTIPLE times while in another country #im just like #jesus fucking christ dude #txt #i dont talk to them much anymore partially bc of this and other reasons i wont get into but damn lm fao #its particularly frustrating when they seemed to moralize abt the pandemic only at its peak and immediately when it was not trendy anymore #stopped wearing a mask indoors doesnt test etc #lol

might have finally ended up with covid🥴🤙 tested negative but having the same(+ fortunately milder) symptoms as my parent that’s tested positive

#‘hm i feel gross playing fo4 for a little bit might be nice’ sike!!!! not happening!!! -my pc #(im fine btw just losing my voice VERY quickly and have a weird cough) #probably going to have to email my professor to see if i can do Monday’s critique via email given that I can’t talk lmao #only managed to make it *checks watch* 4 years without covid. jesus christ we’ve been in a pandemic for 4 years

jesus goddamn christ i Cannot Wait for my province to re-elect this fucking hag of a premier who wants to replicate The Kinds Of Freedom In Desantis' Florida :):):):)

#i am SCARED god i've never been so fucking afraid of an election #it's too close to call between the two biggest parties but. i have no faith in this place #it doesn't matter how poorly the conservatives managed the pandemic and healthcare and education and the economy and Fucking Everything #we're Alberta so We Vote Blue Baby!! I'm fucking offing myself #the kinds of freedoms in desantis' florida. #christ #yknow they only let her answer like two questions during her q&a periods #because she's such an idiot that if they let her open her mouth more than that she'd alienate half their fucking voters

I just got back into paranatural and im shaken to the core that not only have i been reading this comic off and on for ten years, but unless theres a sliding timescale (doubt it since everyone still has flipphones) these kids would be about my age right now

#paranatural #ive been thinking about a college au and i wanted to see when it would be officially #and lo and behold with some quick math theyre not even 2000s babies #the comic started in 2011 so the youngest theyd be is 1999 #jesus fucking christ #also fuck off that means they went to college during the pandemic and i cant even use the gap year excuse #since it happened literally in the middle of their college years #flip phones were basically phased out when i was a freshman #and smartphones became a thing midway through middleschool #that does mean i know exactly what clothes each of them would wear

Nobody fucking talk to me I need like seven working days to mourn E3

#so many memories man I'm so fucking sad I knew when it got cancelled for the pandemic that it wouldn't ever be back #but damn #e3 then Eurovision was like. my grand finale to the school year it was my summer festivals / concerts season #literally staying up to 2am going Feral with my online friends #remember when keanu reeves walked out on stage.... remember when kojima came back and was welcomed like christ reborn #now where will Ubisoft gaslight me

Ohhhh my god it is SO HARD to keep my mouth shut

One of the rules of this union conference is basically "don't start shit" but I was picking up a name badge because I didn't get one at registration, and this woman walking up behind me said something like

"Ugh, it's so stupid they're making us wear masks. It's completely pointless, and everyone is just complying-"

And then she came up beside me, and we made eye contact over my adorable black-with-rainbow-stars mask

And I raised my eyebrows at her. I waited for her to continue. I waited for her to say anything. I was so ready to pounce.

She paused. Then she kept walking

Yeah you better walk away or I'll get us both kicked out of this conference

#pro-mask #btw this union is for EDUCATION AND HEALTH CARE WORKERS #how dare you work in those industries and refuse to mask #if there's even a tiny chance it may protect someone shouldn't you do it???? #don't you care about the patients or students in your care?????? #like i was so livid but i somehow managed not to chase her down and start a fight #i know masks don't solve everything and aren't perfect protection but they help at least a bit and you may as well TRY jesus christ #mod post #angry mod #to put it in MP100 terms.... 78% #pandemic #covid-19 #ask to tag #the conference trip

i have to speak my truth. roy kent's depression hair and beard combo were the hottest he's ever been and i'm so unbelievably jealous that my depression spirals don't have me looking that hot

#nat.txt #THAT LOOK is what brett goldstein came out of the pandemic with???????? be fair to the rest of us dude fuck's sake #not that he's not hot otherwise but goddamn. jesus christ.

"pandemic fatigue" damn you're tired? because of the pandemic? that sounds hard. so you can relate to the long COVID crowd, and you're wearing your mask even when you don't want to, right? to stop more people from becoming tired, because of the pandemic —

#saw the phrase 'pandemic fatigue' in the context of mask mandates evaporating and i will Kill #yk what real fatigue is?? its getting covid in april #and only starting to feel like a reliably functional person again in like december #and even then! your limits are different now!! #And You Are Twenty Four Years Old. #pandemic fatigue. jesus christ. huff my taint. #my two cents #about the author

looking back at May-October 2018 art and writing and realizing “this was it. this was my renaissance....”

#oh how i wish i could get back to that level of creativity and enthusiasm and productivity #my stomach ulcer first started to appear in september of that year but i wouldn't get a diagnosis until the end of february the next #so i just suffered for 5ish months. paired with drama and someone tearing me down i suffered severe massive burnout #and then decided to focus on my health when i got my diagnosis and said 'get healthy and then 2020 will be my year!' #and then...pandemic LMAO. christ alive...it's been an insane last 5 years i'll give it that #i guess the good news is i'm getting to a place where i feel like i'm finally back on solid footing. don't wanna jinx 2023 but i feel good

when I say the cost of shipping has gotten untenable, i do mean it btw.

and for all you americans who don't know the conversion rate:

#30 fucking dollars for a sticker. what the fuck. #i can't fucking buy anything through small businesses anymore (not even just on etsy lol its everywhere) i do mean it #i cannot afford shipping anymore! this is fucking insane #this is also why i had a brief stint with trying to have a small craft business myself and had to shut that idea down so fast because- #-shipping was bad back then two years ago. its gone up like $15+ since then lmao #i know the pandemic has fucked things up but jesus christ #pippen needs 2nd breakfast #''things are back to normal now'' oh really??? (also they shouldnt be going back to normal. this plague is not anywhere NEAR over)

when will the bad luck fucking CEASE

#i am about 90% sure my laptop's battery is starting to bulge #which considering it's about five years old is kind of to be expected (my previous one only lasted six and was flagging by the end) #it lasted me through two years of college and a whole ass pandemic so it's a good little trouper #but jesus fucking christ it has happened at the worst fucking time #there are so many expensive repairs that need doing around the house chief among them the AC unit (i live in the south so that's essential) #and i know for my dad who only uses the family computer to 1. pay bills 2. read tech sideline and 3. play solitaire #fixing my laptop is going to be the bottom of his priorities #fuuuuuck #venting #nevermind me
