somersetlevels:Public Safety Poster: Christmas 1918.Source: Thanatos Archive * * * *Rebecca SolnitA little over two years ago at the outset of the pandemic I wrote: If you’re pregnant or you’re healing from something or you’re a child or adolescent in a growth spurt, you are working all the time to produce what comes next. What looks like “doing nothing” is productive on all sorts of levels, most of them below the horizon of consciousness. If you’re in the middle of a pandemic, just absorbing what it means in terms of your own transformed life and the fate of whatever nation you’re in and the world, of practical plans and metaphysical and political implications, is a huge task. I think most of us are absorbed in this task and it should be recognized as hard and necessary work, because that will help us forgive ourselves for not being so productive at our everyday work in the normal world we left behind this month. Because you probably are very productive now, but not in the way that was the norm a few weeks ago, and this is probably the most important work you can do. Still true of living through violent change and turmoil. -- source link
