The Sheep in the Big City fandom is dying!

Several contributing factors to the declining life expectancy among the adult Millennial generation are Covid 19 and its long term effects, drug overdose, and an increase in reported heart disease link

Maybe Someone Here Might Know

Hey, disability/immunocompromised Tumblr living in Chicago: we need to see a dentist but unsure of what's safely available, with mask mandates dropped in April.

We found one office where all staff were masked with KN95s and they had an air purifier but they also tried to keep upselling us equipment (including all-natural and essential oil toothpaste…).

Does anyone know of any dentist offices still requiring masking for both patients and staff (and reputable) in Chicago?

so in the acknowledgements of THE CITY WE BECAME, jemisin calls it a trilogy, and i realized belatedly (read: at time of purchase) that THE WORLD WE MAKE says "GREAT CITIES DULOGY" and i had a Hunch about why that was so i went spelunking through book 2's acknowledgements before i started actually reading and, uh.

yeah lmao. COVID and Fascism would do it, huh

#text #personal #books #reading #the great cities duology #nk jemisin #i clocked the covid thing but honestly the only reason i can pin that down temporarily is because 19 is in the name 💀 #my timeblind ass self has been living in existential dread for the rest of my adult life. so. #i didnt pin the fascism bit down to her publication timeline until she drew attention to it explicitly #like yeah i guess it got Worse Then Huh #it just feels like its been awful forever at this point 😭 #ANYWAY #interested to see how she spins it with a shorter second book so lets go 👀

Cada vez me aburro más acompañado de gente sin capacidad de autoderrisión (neologismo creo). En Chile se les suele llamar "tontos graves", pero yo, prefiero llamarlos simplemente "acomplejados". (de : notas marroquíes).

AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS; STATE GOVERNORS & LEGISLATURES

Act Now: Save Public Transit from Extinction!

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to highlight the critical state of public transit in the United States and urge your support increased investment in this essential service. The challenges facing public transit—under-investment, over-reliance on car ownership, and racial disparities—have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is imperative that we take bold action to address these issues for the benefit of our communities and our future.

Investing in public transit is not merely a matter of convenience; it is a necessity for tackling climate change, advancing equity, supporting essential workers, and fostering economic recovery. The largest source of carbon emissions in the U.S. stems from transportation, and increased investment in public transit can significantly reduce this impact. Furthermore, public transit plays a crucial role in providing equitable access to jobs, schools, and services, especially for those who cannot afford or do not have access to private vehicles.

With over 2.8 million essential workers relying on public transit, our pandemic response and economic recovery hinge on the strength and viability of our transit systems. According to studies, sustained investment in public transportation yields substantial economic returns, with every $1 billion invested annually resulting in approximately $5 billion in additional GDP.

I commend initiatives like the Green New Deal for Transportation and efforts by organizations such as the CHARGE coalition to electrify and expand public transportation. These initiatives are pivotal in shaping a more sustainable and equitable transportation system for all Americans.

Therefore, I urge you to support emergency relief funding for public transit and join the movement to rebuild and improve our public transit system. This is not just an investment in infrastructure; it is an investment in our collective future.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your support in advancing policies that will ensure a robust and accessible public transit system for all.

Did I ever complain abt that publicly idk anyways I need to get to the big city (2h to and 2h back, not much for the states but sure for me) and next to not wanting to bc cold, they gonna stab bc blood test and my body hates making that easy to locate (dif place but I will never forget the time I got stabbed like three times and still no blood so new appointment had to be made, I have a fear of needles otherwise it would be whatev), and even more risky bc gatherings were recently do I prob hate the most that like. I'm hungry.

I'm hungry and I suck at eating enough so I often go out w not much in my stomach. I survive but it sucks really bad that I can't either buy smth once I arrive to eat on the way back or pack smth to like eat on the journey bc no-one wears a mask and the virus stays rampant so I can't take my mask off until I'm back home. At the inbetween stop I maybe could but I rather won't risk anything. Esp in winter I could bring smth warm to drink w me at least but I rather don't in the crowd I gotta walk through. Least people are when I'm only a few mins away from home and at that point I can always just wait a bit longer.

Tbh I dread going outside and limit it to only shopping and appointments bc even if I could walk here prob somewhere without many people do I rather just stay indoors and try to limit irl reminders of how many people can't be bothered to care bc that just nosedives my mental health. It doesn't help that I still try to nudge my irl friends to care more.

#a wild lux appears #I also feel stuck in am I ablebodied or disabled limbo reg physical. On record I only got vitamin deficiencies #Ik my body is weak but that could be due to things that change if I took more care and the right stuff #Idk idk my state feels like it changes biweekly or smth #I just know I relate to some things #And also that it sucks since it started having to wonder if covid or the usual bc some stuff do I have since forever randomly #Idk idk I just woke up from a few hours nap I need to slowly get ready. Why can't the train strike start today already #(I also know that when I'm already done going to the city where I just sit could I not deal w going to a strike or smth next to anxiety #making me feel like passing out n maybe actually happening. I leave that to the people that can actually handle that) #Anyways need to get ready now hn #I will complain the whole time but I need to go. Hnnnnn #I just need to think abt the refill that I can't get otherwise. And then the next appointment is anyways only in 3-6 months again #Plus I got another one tomorrow morning so today will force me to fix the schedule enough so tomorrow won't suck #Bc otherwise I would just pass out fully now but like that at prob like. 18-19 then. Hn. #Hate the cold bc layers hate the heat bc I could pasd out you can't win w my body #At this point I just use the tags to stall I'm really off now to get ready OTL

What? Nypd wants mandatory non-masking? Or at least mandatory exposing yourself to coronavirus long enough for your photo to be taken on cctv 🤨 also there’s a non-trivial population of women who veil in nyc and it’s hard to not see any proposed rules on this as targeted too

“There's to be a fuel and food drop in the Manor grounds, as the place most easily visible from the air in this snow. And Miss Greythorne is asking if everyone in the village would not like to move into the Manor, for the emergency. It will be crowded, of course, but warm. And comforting, perhaps. And Dr Armstrong will be there—he is already on his way, I believe.” “That's ambitious,” Mr Stanton said reflectively. “Almost feudal, you might say.” Merriman's eyes narrowed slightly. “But with no such intention.”

--Chapter 9, "The Coming of the Cold"

Mr Stanton values self-containment, self-reliance. He admires the decision to make space at the manor for “the people from the cottages,” but insists that the Stanton family home is sufficient to them: “I don't see any good reason for our trooping off to partake of the bounty of the Lady of the Manor.” (Will eventually forces the issue by manipulating the Walker into such an emotional state that he needs a doctor.)

“Cottages” here probably refers to small housing near the manor, often quite old and maybe not fully modernized, that were rented from the landowner. Renters might be manor staff who weren't required to stay in servants' quarters in the manor itself overnight. Or they might be raising livestock or farming land adjacent to the manor, supplying much of what they farmed to the manor itself and some measure of food for their own household. Especially if the housing was supplied as a benefit of the manor-serving job, there was a level of precarity in being a cottager that a householder would not experience: a householder could change jobs without risking the roof over their head.

Mr Stanton's wariness about accepting the invitation to the manor makes sense: the relationship between manor and cottagers was exploitive. At the same time, our beloved “huddling for warmth” trope has so much mileage because humans really do need other humans in times of stress and scarcity. Whatever the virtues of self-reliance, some problems are too big to weather on our own. The first thing we learn to do as babies, before we can walk or talk or feed ourselves, is to cry for help. Because it's fundamentally human to need help sometimes, even if it goes against what we've learned to value.

#my favorite version of 'huddling for warmth' is 'village / town / city collectively seizes the largest available building & weathers crisis' #it happens in dorothy sayers' 'nine tailors' and is a nontrivial part of what i love about that book #and it happened to some extent on the local cooperative listserve near the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic: #not just people sharing instructions for providing mutual aid to undocumented restaurant workers #but sorting out who had masks left from the last fire season to donate to health care workers / who had extra produce & TP #and- i shit you not- who could drive a train if the supply chain broke down #never have i been as grateful to anarchists who'd already spent years living as if govt was failing #knowing your neighbors and their needs- and them knowing yours- is metaphorical huddling for warmth / and makes the world better #susan cooper #the dark is rising #the dark is reading #readathon

"Got Shotz" This is Art's Arts across from Walgreens. Waiting for the bus to take me home. I got covid-19 booster, flu shot, and bus rides for free. Nice to have magic cards. [olds is free on weekend] Sister and I are wondering if it's BAKERZ or BAKEIZ. Arm is sore. A bit swollen and red and warm. My 5G is kicking!

If companies in a post-pandemic world allowed more employees to permanently work from home, businesses would gravitate toward city centers and employees towards the periphery, resulting in less traffic congestion and falling real estate prices downtown.
