This rant brought to you by the plow driver - ever waiting just out of sight for you to get nice and cozy back inside your warm home after you finish clearing your driveway before they take one final pass down the street to completely wall in the end of your driveway with road-grime infused snow.

This week's rant is a day late because i wasn't going to do one. i didn't want to embrace the anger, even in a fun and sarcastic way this week. Tired of fighting through this bizarre year i really just wanted to have a cry. i tried. The cry didn't happen, no matter what songs i listened to or movie i watched. i guess my eyes are too constipated from the shit they keep seeing to allow some salt water to flow. So on to plan b, not the pill - a rant.
FUCK CARING! Really, fuck caring... it fucking sucks. Caring needs to be taken out behind the barn and shot. Except i don't have a barn because i care so much i choose to be vegan. And i don't own a gun because i care so much about the excessive amount of harm guns cause in this country that fetishizes firearms. So i guess my history of caring is now preventing me from ending my relationship with caring.
i see the selfish muthafuckers who do not care in any way for anyone. Their hearts aren't torn apart on a daily basis during this pandemic while watching everyone around us suffer. Watching kids thrown into hybrid school situations where they kind of get to socialize but mostly don't, then get thrown into quarantine when the inevitable person who doesn't care exposes the bubble. Watching teachers beside themselves, expected to actually educate as normal when nothing is normal, neither them nor their students are feeling normal, all doing the best they can until they are told they have been exposed and need to quarantine. Watching our friends and our family on COMPUTER SCREENS, because that's the best we can do when we long to be with them after most of a year spent trying to protect them and keep them safe by doing what the science tells us. Watching ANYONE at ANY LEVEL of healthcare as they are stretched thin of both resources and energy, hospitals filling up, people dying (and not being able to be surrounded by family and friends in those last moments), trying to keep themselves well (mentally and physically) for themselves and their families, DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN just to watch politicians and administrators get vaccines before them! Vaccines that were created by fellow members of their profession family.
That's what caring gets you. The pain and sacrifice of all that. While the politicians who decidedly DON'T CARE are throwing super spreader events and are still the 1st in line for vaccines. UNCARING politicians are now patting themselves on the back as they go (vaccinated) into the holiday season proud to give us $600 after 10 months of pandemic destruction. That's not covering anyone i know's mortgage this month. How far's that getting any of us with our bills - just for this month, with no help at all for the last 9 months. They don't care about any of us, not even enough to thinly feign they care.
Right now, during this pandemic, i would prioritize our health care workers get everything they need to do everything they can - especially including getting the vaccine first! The work our healthcare system MUST do right now is more important than any collapse in function of our government resulting in politicians catching Covid-19 might cause. Our federal government has been decidedly hands off so far in helping us, so we wouldn't even notice the difference if they fell ill. But we sure as hell feel the difference every time a healthcare provider falls ill!
Fuck caring! While trying to keep those i care about alive so they'll be around for next Christmas, i see countless selfish cunts eating out at restaurants and frequenting bars, holding hockey games and swim meets, having everyone over for Thanksgiving, getting on planes, piling into cars to cross state borders, all not giving a shit about anyone else. Caring has my guts in knots while their guts are swilling down alcohol at the local cleverly named douchey craft brewery. Wow, i wonder what could possibly be causing the infection rates and death rates to be going sky high right now as we enter the winter of the pandemic? Not you shit-gibbons thinking a completely tented in space is "outdoor dinning" or that airports aren't the most disgusting petri dishes in existence even BEFORE the pandemic.
So fuck caring! Fuck me for caring! Fuck the pain that caring brings! And fuck those fucking Care Bears!
For fuck's sake... i fucking care about all of you. i can't stop. Please be careful, listen to the science, and stay healthy this holiday - so that we can get together for future holidays!
