Experiences of community are offered but not actually present, in that they're present only via serious risks which are often un- or under-acknowledged. I think of this facet of broken sociality as social loneliness. This involves more time spent alone — reduced time doing things and seeing people compared to pre-pandemic — because fewer places are doing anything (let alone enough) to mitigate covid exposure. [...] What’s happening, I think, is that there’s no consensus on the reality we’re living in: ideologically, the pandemic continues for some of us and is over for others, while, of course, it hasn’t *actually* ended; it feels like living in a different world from other people, but still interacting. In some cases, this means old relationships feel different, and not for the better. [...] A friend who, like me, has spent many years in far left circles said recently that they think they’ve only processed a small fraction of the shock and trauma of seeing that over a million covid deaths made so little difference in the world politically, and is not a more widespread scandal, even on the far left. I’ve resisted letting the ramifications of this to some of my relationships sink in. [...] I grew up around a lot of old, working class people who were alive in the Great Depression of the 1930s. They talked about it all the time, especially at meal times. It changed basic parts of their lives, like how they ate. The memory shaped how they perceived and interpreted events for the rest of their lives. This is going to be like that. I try not to think about it and I’m desperate for community with whom to think about it.

I am gathering all of my strength so that I might go to the pharmacy and buy decongestant. Pray for me.

i slept so good last night and I thought Covid was being nice to me now but it is currently 2:49 AM and I guess it was just the rain last night that helped me sleep

Finally tested negative this morning. Went to the grocery store, then the country store to get groceries and chicks respectively. Got home and had to take a nap. Made dinner then had to have a rest. Ate dinner and now I'm ready for bed.
I am technically no longer sick but I'm still exhausted. I do not recommend getting covid. 0/10 experience.

Paxlovid is a wonder cocktail but I have to say, everything tasting blandly metallic is annoying. It's like I'm back home at my parents'!

ok for serious: how is everyone balancing covid precautions around social engagements right now?
i am wearing an N95 everywhere indoors in public obv, also sometimes wearing an N95 outside (100% of the time that's only when interacting with other covid cautious people). my parents didn't contract covid from me when I wore an N95 around them while sick, so i feel very confident about masking
i always do a rapid test before 1) seeing someone who i know is high risk, 2) doing any kind of "special" activity for ex. going on a day trip, and 3) interacting with larger groups of people. i also try to space my major social interactions out by several days so that my tests are hopefully more accurate
but out of the friends that i can see on the day to day, only one of them is still taking covid precautions, and all the others are basically impossible to meet halfway about covid stuff, or even get them to just acknowledge that there's still covid. so "realistically", i just can't have covid safe interactions with any of my friends
so in terms of maskless social interactions in people's private homes, i've been doing kind of like, weird pseudo cost benefit risk / social value analysis. i know that my family is unwilling to continue consistent masking in public places, so i've decided that i'm willing to casually see them in their home but i'm not willing to participate in any special activities with them
queer friends are higher on my social needs list lol so i've been taking more risks in that arena, by going to small-ish (10 people max) events in people's homes only 1-2 times per month. i know that none of these people take covid precautions anymore, but i always do my rapid test before i go so i know that at least i'm being careful for my friends, even if they aren't doing the same for me. i am trying to be less judgmental and more harm reduction-y about covid stuff but that's really hard when there's a relatively high risk of death and/or disablement
and at the same time, getting covid again versus indefinite extreme social isolation feels like an impossible question and i'm just at a total loss for how to create balance around my own social needs
i'm considering going to a birthday party next week that i was invited to at a very tiny bar that my friend rented out (max capacity of 30 people). on one hand it feels kind of worth the risk because i will know everyone who's there, i'll appreciate spending time with them, and i'm planning to mostly isolate myself for the rest of december. on the other hand it's also kind of terrifying because i haven't been and don't exactly want to be maskless around that many people! again, both options of getting covid or having to turn down social connection with my friends feels equally awful
