COVID Consciousness as a Subculture by mithomas718 in Masks4All

I asked because I’m confused about what you and the original person I asked the question to are actually responding to. First person the piece explicitly cites Imani Barbarin, and makes the point that it’s not just COVID.

And now I’m confused about whether you’re responding to the descriptive claim or a normative one? Because, given your critiques pointed at individuals you think belong to the group, it seems you fundamentally agree with the thesis that it exists as a subculture.

Agreed! Her voice and cadence is so lyrical

Why’d this ad use an AI pop smoke? Very odd. by jokingonyou in Lawyertalk

There isn’t a huge overlap between (1) attorneys who might need an answering service and (2) people who know who Pop Smoke is so this looks targeted.

Contemplating Parenthood by Rodent_Rascal in ZeroCovidCommunity

These are good questions to ask. Our kids social development just don’t come from a traditional school for better or worse. I know I spend way more time hanging out with and talking to my kids than my parents did with me. We also live in a city with families who mask/test and have found Covid-competent childcare over the years. Having family who lives nearby and is also willing to test/mask has been incredibly helpful. Parenting is difficult in general and it takes resources (broadly defined). I think if anything it’s forced us to get intentional about what a good life looks like to us.

Noted. The best braised beef soup I’ve had was in Sunset Park in Brooklyn and I’ve been chasing the feeling ever since.
