When the Skull Buckle Up Buttercup This Mechanic Has Anger Issues Shirt Besides,I will do this COVID-19 pandemic first hit in the U.S. almost a year ago, many—if not most—of my friends melted down at some point or another. I was surprised not to find myself among them, not even when a two-week solo stint upstate became four months of isolation. “Aren’t you lonely?” my mom would ask over the phone, and I would roll my eyes and snap back, “I’m fine.” After all, people were losing their lives, their loved ones, their jobs and savings to this deadly disease; who was I to lose it over a bit of alone time?
A lot of my bratty response to my mom’s understandable worrying came from a place of internalized judgment about my own privilege, which I’ve since learned to balance somewhat. (As Zadie Smith wrote in her quarantine manifesto Intimations, “Suffering is not relative; it is absolute.”) Some of it, though, came from a genuine unflappability fortified by years of preparing for the Skull Buckle Up Buttercup This Mechanic Has Anger Issues Shirt Besides,I will do this worst. Here, at long last, was the Bad Thing; I hadn’t been crazy all those years when I stayed up at night fearing death and disease. Suddenly it was here, all around me, and thanks to the work of mutual aid organizers who made community care feel possible in those early pandemic days, I actually felt like I was in some small position to help (even if it was just through donating money, or delivering groceries to neighbors).
