I’ve been busy with !loops@midwest.social since that’s been seeing a lot of activity. The queue is up to almost the end of February, posting every 30 minutes. If you think that’s too much, you should see how much I don’t post 😄

    It’s been lame, ngl. Having issues at work, stressing out about the deluge of garbage happening politically, feeling totally out of control of my mental health and like I have no recourse to address the spin out (single, no friends, isolated antisocial weirdo, not even a therapist b/c no insurance and not wealthy enough to afford out of pocket).

      The world is fucked up. With that in mind, perhaps the best resistance would be to enjoy it regardless. 🙃 Vive!

      I feel your pain but i cant even imagine being in your situation. Things are so crazy and you arent crazy for feeling stressed out. I still believe the heart of your nation is good even if the current administration does not reflect that. The good people will get back in control.

        That’s the odd part: there’s a lotta really good people here, and I know it sounds odd, but a lot of what’s happening is BECAUSE of kind-hearted people… who nonetheless are simply so very, very dumb. :-P What manner of idiot would put us in charge of ourselves…? :-P

        It’s gonna be an extremely wild ride before they wake up though:-(.

            Which they allowed themselves to be, and like for children and such that makes sense, but the people who choose to stand up in a leadership role is a whole other thing. For example: if you don’t want an abortion, then don’t get one, but when you cross the line and actively work to prevent others from getting one… that’s when it goes beyond simply being “mislead” to working to harm others (whether they choose to realize that or not).

            Ukrainians understand this all too well. They are aware that the Russian soldiers coming at them do not want to be there. But they are in a position to either be killed by them, or to have to deal with them first - possibly non-lethally, but either way they gotta protect themselves and their families. It’s a rough spot to be in, but they are forced into it all the same by people with no conscience.
