say what you will about the world ending and 2020 being hell. since quarantines started, the air is filled with laughter and talk. i hear kids playing in backyards with their family. i hear people talking happily on the phone with loved ones. everyone has their doors open to the porches at our apartment. you smell cooking, see the lights of backyard firepits, hear children delighted to spend time with parents that are never home. i love the videos of people playing music with their neighbors, playing bingo from their balconies, pranking their family members, and streaming with their friends. i love that my mom and dad keep stealing access to netflix because they are home from work and finally have a chance to watch movies together. my neighbors wave at me when i take the dog out while they laugh with each other over a beer. i know more than anything its a commentary on capitalism but it’s still great to see people being people. its good to know there are still humans and that they are being relentlessly, beautifully human, regardless of what happens.
I’m happy that your parents keep stealing access to netflix, but, and I don’t know how to say nicely, this but people are literally dying.
there are people saying “there’s nothing wrong with trying to be optimistic and find positivity in a global pandemic”
blah blah blah, that’s not the fucking POINT.
see above: THE ROMANTICISATION OF QUARANTINE IS A CLASS PRIVILEGE.
people are dying. people are killing themselves or attempting suicide and ending up in crowded ERs and psychiatric hospitals. people are being quarantined with their abusers. if this happened before i turned 18, i would be quarantined with my abusers. people are slipping into the worst depressive episodes they have in years. people are fucking DYING and losing their loved ones. god fucking damn it.
this post is meant to be a directory of every resource I come across for Hungarian. it will be a continuous work in progress so thank you for your patience! if you have any issues or things to add, please reply to this post!
