We haven’t even made it to January 20 (Trump inauguration). We already have major fires in our second largest city, terrorist attacks, talk of invading Greenland/Panama/Canada. almost no one talking about what we really need to do to cut carbon. Hospitals are full in my area and people talk about washing hands, but not about masking. I am already so weary. I don’t know what is going to happen after January 21.

    Yes I am exhausted. Most of all I am exhausted by the rapid rush to capitulate to and appease trump.

    Nop. Plenty of energy here.

    You should check your carbon dioxide levels at home just in case. Mood swings are common when these levels are too high

    I’ve been sick for six weeks so all of January has been an endless round of trying to work, not being able to work, and going to the doctor for another note for work. I might have atypical whooping cough and am waiting for results. I do not have a cough but my immunologist friend tells me the spectrum of symptoms is wide, and it doesn’t always include coughing. I am vaccinated of course. But yeah, 14 days of January of not being able to talk above a whisper is fun.

    I’m crashing the fuck out guys. I’ve put up with these shenanigans for way too long. I am now just waiting for whatever pushes me passed the edge.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    2025 is the year my arduous journey of radicalization has been completed.

    So +1 for personal growth.

    Focus on what you can control is pretty cliche advice, but it really is all you can do in situations like this. Something I’ve started doing is a “news diet” where I sit down on Monday and basically skim through the last week of political news. Then I just try and ignore political news as much as possible until the next Monday. It’s not a perfect system, but it helps deal with the fire hose style news coverage the media gives to Trump.

      This should be taught honestly. You can be a good person and want positive change without making everything your concern. It’s called compassion fatigue.

    The internet and the comments on these articles are not real life. Go live your life and if problems arise. You can deal with them then. No sense in worrying.

    I don’t know what is going to happen after January 21.

    You wake uo and realize its all just a nightmare. Surely reality cannot be this absurd? Right?

    I mean this all feels like a movie.

    Assassinations?

    Convicted felon getting elected president?

    CEO getting shot

    Random Coup in South Korea out of nowhere

    Wtf, this has got to be some weird dream, way too close to a movie plot, so this has got to be the brain making ship up based on movie plots.

    The time will come and we’ll wake up from this terrible dream, right? Right?
