I’m about to stir the pot and probably lose some followers.
Being able to stay home during a pandemic is *privilege*.
And, it is White privilege.

It is mostly White people who work the kind of jobs that allow them to work from home for an entire year.
It is mostly middle class and higher who can afford to *order in groceries* because most poor people can’t afford a car or services that deliver. They have to grocery shop.

It is privilege to be able to stay home during COVID. Most Brown and Black people are out here working public jobs that they have to go to every day and risk exposure - it’s either that or lose their homes, their incomes, etc.
Most Black and Brown families live under a completely different set of rules and life situations that most middle class white people cannot understand and Covid is hitting our communities differently. It isn’t realistic for most BIPOC to just *stay home*.
It is also a privilege to live with a roommate or a family during Covid. I’m *done* listening to ppl lecture me for having a Covid bubble. I live alone and staying home by myself for 9 months is not good.
I do life with Luke, his roommate and his sister - both he lives with and they only leave the house to go to their jobs they HAVE to go to. And we all do life with a family that has barely left home since March since the husband gets to work from home. And I work from home.
This is my bubble and we are all doing everything we can to be safe. But, for me, living alone and not leaving my house isn’t an option for my mental health. If Luke and I lived together or I had a roommate or a family it would be different.
I’m tired of people who live with other people lecturing everyone else about never leaving home and staying put - it is a privilege to be able to stay home and stay put. And again it is classist to try to enforce this on the whole country. People HAVE to work.
We NEED other people and expecting people who live alone to stay in isolation for over a year is not your job.
I’m doing what I can to be safe. I’m high risk and so is Luke’s roommate - we’re doing what we can to be careful.
