Social media is just one of the million reasons it feels like this year has gone on for an entire decade so far, and it’s only July. Conspiracy theories, white supremacy, and people posting not-very-social-distancey photos make it hard to look away, because so many of us are tempted to use our knowledge and privilege to tell everyone why they’re wrong.
Confession #25784422 I've spent the last three months doing nothing other than scrolling through social media and watching the news for 16 hours a day..
#25784763 "I need to stay off of social media for my own mental health. The mental gymnastics that people do to justify their racism is infuriating."
#25785097 "I started unfriending people on my Facebook who are too privileged, too over-the-top and too fucking entitled. I can’t take it anymore, it’s so filthy and disgusting."
Confession #25771149 We get paid every 2 weeks and run out of money every pay period by day 9.
#25772956 "I’m not afraid the virus will kill me. I’m afraid it will make me sick enough to have to be admitted and ruin us financially. I gave up my health insurance this year so we could afford the kids’."
#25773111 "If I don't figure out something to be able to get some work done and get alone time, I'm gonna end up on Snapped as a wife who had enough of her husband's bullshit. Sure, he makes more money, but I actually need my job to stay mentally well."
Confession #25788671 I feel like the only mom thats still social distancing with friends and outside family members.
#25784835 "Lady screamed at me for wearing a mask at the store. Am I bothering you by trying to keep my distance and wear my mask? No. Then shut up Karen. I'd break social distance to fight a bitch like that."
#25779255 "I'm watching my two neighbors have a pool party. They're over social distancing. I hope they all get COVID."
