Some people on here seem to have this strange libidinal urge for the pandemic to get worse and worse as a means of owning the Tories

Newsflash: however bad it gets, they will face zero comeuppance — so you might as well become invested instead in our lives improving lol

I would really recommend following @perthshiremags btw, who has been great on simultaneously criticising the government and providing a lot of optimism re the vaccine roll out and the future more generally

There is a strong, left-wing, evidence-based basis for not imagining the future as a dystopian hellscape! Being optimistic doesn’t mean capitulating anything
