socially social distancing

to be physically social during social distancing during coronavirus. Meaning that you're still hanging out with friends even though there's a world crisis. A socially social distancer will have an ignorant family, and goes out with friends so they can post about it, thinking they're cool because they're breaking the rules. They do it for clout. They don't care about the people that are dying, they want to maintain they're status, or they're going out to do drugs because they're addicts.

God, that whole group is still going to each other's houses and socially social distancing! What asshats! Stay inside!

longing distance

The space, literal and emotional, between yourself and another person, hoping for their safety and well-being, wishing you could be together when you are inescapably separated during the pandemic.

Unable to help in any way, hoping each day that she would remain well, wishing he could simply be where she was, the longing distance was at times unbearable.

distance screeching

A feeling when conditions from the past are haunting us and still make noises in our heads, although they seem to be distant. Can apply to historical conditions. Past events influence today’s minds and actions. E.g. our own past, as well as societal, institutional pasts inevitably shape theories and how we look at them. What we teach and learn today is intertwined with our past. Echoes reproduce power structures and reach into the present. The original sound can deform, how it is heard from a distance changes (e.g. become shriller). Although today many look on colonialism more critically, it still shapes institutions, worldviews, actions. It is visible in the books resting in our libraries, in the accessibility of institutions (Decolonising Knowledge: What Is Decolonisation? | Rolando Vázquez Melken 5:24), how history is told by western museums. We must recognize and draw attention to this screeching (e.g. as one can see in the actions Mwazulu Diyabanza does in Museums (Gimlet)). We need to question who owns, who tells stories, defines, has power, whose voices are being heard? To decolonize we must recognize that power structures are still active. We must question the sounds from the past without denying they exist, but by reshaping how we perceive them and making sure they are not repeated, by making sure they are not echoes.

“I still have a distance screeching.”

“I think you got distance screeching.”

“These theories are distance screeched. *”

*However, colonial power structures should be labeled as such as clear as possible. The proposed term should be seen more as an additional visualization.
