When was this “used to be” time of which you speak?

That’s reductive as all get out.

Sewing is a hobby, and luckily I had a great stash of cotton/elastic as well as free kits from a local fabric store, so I’ve done about 25 masks so far. My secret, shameful thought though is.... does anyone actually want these?

I’ve donated most of them to healthcare workers, and give away the rest to friends, and have…

“It should have never come to this,” Michele Hoaglund told the Times. “We’re doing what the federal government should be doing.”

Holy crap. Someone needs a nap or a time-out.

Well, assuming things about people, (since that’s what we’re doing here) the ones who choose to hit and be hit for a living are probably not making the best financial decisions, what the brain damage they are probably sustaining, they may not have much a of a leg to stand on from a labor relations point of view, with…

I hope the fighters realize that as much as they might like practicing their mixed martial art, White sees them as completely expendable. They are in a tough spot though with their income gone. 

I’ll take this bet. You will lose. Know how I know? Because I’m a black woman and you’re not. Also, take a moment to stop and talk to those African Americans you pass by each day. You might actually learn something about their lives instead of imagining what you’re “willing to bet” their lives are about.

Man, this is a new low for the “I have black friends” defense.

Well, thank you for your expert opinion, person who walks past black people.

I totally watch the baking and hair cut videos because they’re teaching me how to do something I don’t know how to do when things are closed. I find those things different because they’re not telling me about suffering from a first-world hardship.

Seriously? Other than doctors, nurses and dentists, it’s hard to think of a job that would put someone at *more* risk during the pandemic. The practitioner would be stood right next to the client for an extended period of time - and right next to their head too. They’d be smack in the middle of the cough droplet spray…

You could have just stayed off this article and obsessively refreshed whatever news website you use, instead of deciding to be such a pathetic scold about an interesting and informative article. Go work on your sourdough starter and yell at your family. 

Interestingly, Jezebel has done pieces about anti-Asian racism, including one by the writer of this article. Curious why you’re framing it as an either/or situation when you can clearly find those articles at this site.

This comment section, however, is Karen central.

So skip the article. I wouldn’t hang around Jez if it was all fear, panic and emergencies. It’s not too soon. 

And what I said negates that...how?

Yeah, it’s kind of like... I really worry about the women who do hair and aren’t making money right now, but I was also alarmed that so many salons were open until the states told them to shut their doors. It makes sense, they gotta get paid, they have bills to pay and mouths to feed, I get why they were reluctant to…

Black people can worry about the state of a global pandemic and their hair breaking off at the same time.

And the majority of articles are about the science and the deaths.
