The contrast between the number of media requests I got when rich people on a cruise were facing a deadly, but contained outbreak versus now that some of the poorest people in the world are facing a deadly and devastating epidemic is just so so stark and it just really annoys the hell out of me.

I think Masque of Red Death explored the error of thinking class can protect you from an epidemic.

that story was in my head for two years (2020-2022) as a reminder that no one can escape death. not even the rich and powerful.

(I also watched my favorite zombie movies during that time)

my coping response to assholery in the world is "one day these motherfucker's will die"

I reread the Decameron. ;) Just cause, sometimes you can escape death for a little while, and you can do a lot with that time.
