    I’ve noticed when I’ve been out traveling, knowing there’s a portion of the population who thinks they’re still in solitary confinement, I feel obligated to have extra fun for them. Like somehow, they’ll have second-hand fun when I talk about my experience, and they’ll crave freedom. Plus being incredibly kind helps people not fuck with me about mask shit.

      Yes, same. You’re absolutely right, empathy is on life support right now. We all know the system is designed to demoralize everyone so why participate in fueling that?
