It was so bizarre to go on social media and see posts about the Met Gala interspersed with news about Rafah. Really fucking dystopian. Here in Brazil something very similar is happening, we had Madonna's concert on Copacabana Beach, which gathered more than 1.6 million people, all in the same week that floods destroyed houses in Rio Grande Do Sul, leaving 395 thousand people homeless and more than 1.4 million affected. The News would talk about the tragedy, and in the next second show clips of the concert. And this all happend in the same week as the Met, and Rafah, so going on social media at all was insane, but i also would feel guilty to try to distract myself with anything, as if all of this wasn't happening.
