I have approximately one spoon today.
Do I spend it taking photos and/or writing fiction? Do I spend it writing a gemlog post trying to beg people to stop doing this shit? Do I rewrite the work I did last week to develop a metadata cache for Calibre-style libraries, work that's now unusable because SQLAlchemy went slop? Do I move my photography business off Pixelfed?
Notice how many of those possibilities are tasks that only need done because someone else was an asshole.

It would be nice to have multiple spoons, but I am in a single-spoon regime because no one with the capacity to make the world better fucking took COVID seriously. There was, in the US at least, a bipartisan effort to ignore COVID and let it continue running rampant rather than spending a relatively tiny amount of money on sending people masks and funding HVAC upgrades. Again, an asshole or bunch of assholes made life more difficult for everyone.
