recess

Living in Ontario is like pressing your face to the window watching everyone else get recess. As an added bonus, your bullies, whose poor behaviour got recess cancelled for everyone, are locked in there with you, still beating the shit out of you.

schools don't drive infection

Schools and childcare centres recorded 614 cases of COVID-19 today. That's 26.3% of all provincial cases for today (March 30, 2021).

In honour of this fact, I'd like to share a poem I wrote with y'all. It's not a very good poem and neither is our situation.

It's Okay
Schools are safe
and if they're not safe
that's okay
because kids don't get covid
and if they do
that's okay
because it's not that serious
and they don't spread it
and if it's serious
and if they spread it
that's okay
because they got it from the teacher
and if there's a lot of cases
that's okay
because we changed the definition of outbreak
keep moving the goalposts
and it will always be okay





While the rest of the developed world is getting vaccinated, Ontario is building more field hospitals, and a secret memo that got leaked informs us that the situation is fine, since they have the capacity to handle all the death and illness that is about to be unleashed by the deliberate political decision to let the virus run rampant.
