How’s everyone doing? (beehaw.org)

It’s bleak out there in a lot of places. How’s everybody coping?

I’ve realized I don’t ever talk about it much, because I don’t know anyone in my offline life that it’s safe to talk to. My health is precarious and my housing sometimes feels a little uncertain, so I’m very much just keeping my head down. But I don’t know! I feel Concerned! Ahh! Stress! Stressful time! I grew up in the 2000s and never thought I’d see anything like this get worse again. It’s surreal. Back then, I felt like i could freely express my rage. Right now, I can’t. It’s disorienting. How is everybody else doing? What’s it been like for you?

That makes sense. You're definitely not alone in feeling like it's getting bad. Like, it's insane to me that conservative boomers are getting old and having health complications and still don't want universal healthcare. They'll vote against their best interests every time.

I hope you find support and understanding within your community, even if it's not within your immediate family.
