I am once again feeling pretty good about having a personal air purifier in my office. Every few months it tells me to change the filter and the old filter is gross and grey.

I got the air purifier to help me feel more confident about seeing people in my office in person, what with COVID. It's also helped with Canadian wildfire smoke and whatever that weird smell was that came in through the building's air intake (I think the rubber roof was outgassing in the heat wave, it smelled dreadful).

(Blueair 411 for $80 in 2022, pretty much a glorified Corsi-Rosenthal box, a fan on top of a cylinder of air filter.) #airpurifier #backtotheoffice #minorhappy

Interesting article on surveillance tech in the workplace. The major part of the problem with this is right there near the beginning - "initiatives are hard to measure or hard to do when we don’t know what people are doing at home". Well, what a surprise - "we don't know what people are doing". Management and understanding real productivity metrics is the issue, not bums-in-seats metrics.

I lost most my friends and family to #COVID, and by that I don't mean that they died, I mean that they are dead to me because them abled privileged fucks don't mask.
It sucks, I've barely been out and have been N95ing everywhere for three years now, I know why, I grew up with (amongst an host of other co-occurrences) #mecfs, bedsticken, in paroxitic pain && total isolation for years at a time and now have had to listen to friends and familly justiy #eugenics out of lazyness.

It's a lonely path, somehow even with constant masking, I still got COVID 3 times. [the third time being RN] I must have gotten it in the staircase cause I mask everywhere else [or in the subway, save for my crew, noone else masks here]

In other news, I quit my job before reaching full #AutisticBurnout in July and I've been looking for a #WorkFromHome #job for the last 4 months.
But rn the key word is #backtotheoffice, they don't offer so-called "unqualified jobs" as wfh positions anymore -not even customer/technical support positions, which has been my bread and butter since I left gastronomy on account of the #pandemic.

Even if it weren't for COVID my disabilities simply does not allow me to commute to the office in winter, that's just a fact [not disclosing any details about said disabilities, OPSEC and all].

Not to mention I've always been one infection and a flare up away from my sickness putting me back in the wheelchair or worse [I know, I remember, and that I won't EVER let happen again]

FYI: the last offer I got was under USD1200 (BEFORE taxes) for 49 hours a week, on prems. No Joke.

tldr; I legit ain't sure I'm gonna make it, but with or without me here is my plea: Burn it all the fuck down!

When the physical environment isn’t enough to compel us to buy things, the state and capital class often just order us to behave in ways that compel us to spend money.

Roads are public spaces, theoretically owned by everyone. When the state encloses them by criminalizing certain public uses—such as the American crime of “jaywalking”—the state subsidizes the car firms that sell us the cars that are legal requirements to use public spaces.

Our bosses do this too when they command us to work in offices—not because office work is efficient, but because ordering us from our homes into their built environment increases our spending on amenities that are difficult or impossible to access there.

Remote work is a state of mind.

Even if I’m in the office you hardly ever know where I am or what I’m working on, if anything. I can attend to personal business all day at work.

I can be in the cube next to you and be incredibly distant. I can sit in the conference room with ten of you and still be a million miles away. You are worried that remote work will destroy company culture and collaboration? I can do that while sitting right here.
