They even specify that his family migrated there decades ago! Decades! He's only in his 30s, so how does that not make him a new yorker through and through? any conservative spin placing him as an outsider to NYC is pure racism.

you might already know this, but brain injuries and long covid aren't like falling out of the habit of reading. if you try to work back up to doing something you usually just make it worse and end up able to do less. it's soul-crushingly boring, but you have to rest.

no, I'm just saying, when people discuss antisemitism maybe they should point to these actual examples, instead of ephemeral feelings. we've all seen white people prioritise their feelings over other people's actual safety ('karens', etc) and this risks sounding like more of that.

I lived in the city with the longest lockdowns in the world, and honestly I look back on that fondly. It was hard but we were in it together. I can't even talk with non-disabled people who don't have to keep isolating anymore because it's like they live on a totally different planet.

Agreed. It seems unbelievably credulous to take them at their word when they say trans men should use the women's and vice versa. They know this means violence will follow, and that we will be pushed out of public life entirely.

what utility do your observations have if you admit you don't understand the key words in the post? why do you think you have something to add here?

you see this a lot when people get post-viral conditions, too. There's something in us that is so opposed to radical resting, even though that's what actually helps and prevents worsening. But it's really hard to do for some reason, and hard to watch others fail to do.
