The last few years have been exceptionally soul crushing for high risk, Covid cautious folks… It’s absolutely been so much more painful because we had the brief glorious window of solidarity 2020-2021… a more accessible & supportive society was dangled in front of us.
It’s been so painful to watch people who had been our friends and family, people who reposted “no one left behind” in 2020, now posting maskless selfies, never addressing Covid safety or accessibility as they return to normal without us… As they leave us by the wayside.
@thesamwisest I made a piece at the start of the pandemic to help me process what was going on with the theme of everyone being in it together. The piece feels like a cruel joke staring at me in my folders now.
@thesamwisest So much this. I’ve got an instagram post from late March 2020 where I talk about all the hope I’m feeling. How we are all coming together and protecting each other. Having that hope not only dashed but seeing us go in the opposite direction? So painful.
