Jennifer Moore 😷I read this article yesterday and I'm still musing on it. There's something I really like about the idea of framing our position & commitments as "a subculture". That rings true to me.
Some snippets from the article:
"the COVID Conscious community’s vision for the future lives in the ever-present now – without denial."
"This pragmatism allows for an actual future, not a fantasy future"
"we have an aesthetic ... we have shared resources, language and references"
"Referencing the past is essential, but copying it reflexively is unproductive."
"While solutions aren’t always easy, we believe they exist—whether it’s masking, clean air, COVID-safe events, or free testing and vaccinations, our resolve remains: we’re not giving up on a good future."
"this community spans drag kings, cartoonists and activists, musicians, rappers"
"We’re showing that there’s hope and liberation on the other side of a realistic risk assessment – and there’s no need to pick and choose safety based on the criteria set by capitalist forces."
