In September 2021 I traveled to Moldova from Canada to visit my parents. At one point, I was sitting quietly in my seat, finally asleep – it is an 8-hour flight we are talking about here… suddenly, with a tap on my shoulder I am woken up and I see right in my face the flight attendant saying: put the mask on, please. Apparently, my mask had slid down onto my chin from my breathing and the girl decided that I was very dangerous to the rest of the passengers when I was sleeping maskless, so she decided to wake me up, despite the fact that I was doubly vaccinated and had shown a negative test. So here we are, healthy, vaccinated and still shown who is the boss. If this is not a power trip, I do not know what is 😊.
This short true story is the symbol of our times, the fucking covid times as I like to call them. There is no more space for human reasoning, thinking, choosing, reflecting, deducing: there is just protocol. Rules are what matter. Now, in 2021, what we count on are the rules. People are dispensable, rules are forever.
Tired is an understatement for what I feel about these crazy weird, outlandish and scary times, where people have value if they have a vaccine paper showing that they deserve to be eating in a restaurant or traveling by train.
Shame on us. One day we will reap the fruits of our inertness in accepting all this …beeeep!
