March 2020 ushered COVID’s arrival in the United States and, within days, my institution announced we would conclude the semester virtually. I observed colleagues across the country panicking over remaining connected to students, delivering lectures, and possible implications of these transitions as they concern continued neoliberal surveillance of students and faculty. As I watched this unfold I couldn’t help but think, “I’ve got this. This isn’t that difficult.” But I also thought, “Why am I not overwhelmed by this?” Then, something clicked. We’re now governed by counter-logics for daily existence; the looking glass, it seems, arrived. We’re facing a queering of normalcy and, as a queer person, it feels unsettlingly (…) comfortable.

这还不错，或者，一切都让我度过了这场流行病，我从酷儿中学到了

2020 年 3 月，COVID 抵达美国，几天之内，我所在的机构宣布我们将虚拟结束本学期。我观察到全国各地的同事都对与学生保持联系、讲课以及这些转变的可能影响感到恐慌，因为他们担心新自由主义对学生和教职员工的持续监视。当我看着这一切展开时，我忍不住想，“我有这个。这并不是说难“。但我也想，“为什么我没有被这个淹没？” 然后，点击了一些东西。现在，我们的日常工作受到反逻辑的支配。镜子似乎到了。我们正面临着一种奇怪的常态，作为一个奇怪的人，感觉令人不安（……）舒服。
