I got nothin’
I know this thread is about a serious topic
On a lighter note, this is peak “smell the fart” acting
It’s okay, everybody gets the day off when the antichrist wins.
I’m just numb at this point. I want to cry, but I can’t.
I’m numb too. I’m having a hard time processing it. I woke up in a completely different country/world.
Yeah tbh I’m making plans to leave the country once my lease is up. Between the political leadership of the non-fascist party being demonstrably unable to consistently find their ass with both hands since, like 2012 at the latest, and the fact that so many people evidently pulled some Brexit-esque “protest vote” bullshit or whatever, this clearly isn’t a country that aligns with my personal values and ethics anymore, and I think this made me realize I’m just fucking done with it.
So yeah - good job, DNC. You fucked up so hard that I’m gonna drain by brain in some other country. You had one job. ONE. FUCKING. JOB. And you couldn’t fucking do it. This shit is categorically indefensible. Jesus tapdancing christ.
I woke up at 2 am and couldn’t help but look. Couldn’t get back to sleep until 4, but it’s all just been ‘how did this happen? How could Americans not see all those signs as bad?’
We survived 2000 (you know, not well), we’ll survive this.
Though I say that with a lot less confidence and conviction than I normally do.
We are a minority. 🤷♂️
To be a serious Star Trek fan means you see way beyond countries and current politics.
That isn’t something most humans are good at.
It maybe will always feel bad for us to exist in this uncaring universe where the majority seems to care only about what immediately affects them.
To have a kind and open heart maybe just has this cost. I wish I could offer more.
I was talking about that with @ininewcrow@lemmy.ca yesterday. So many Americans see Star Trek episodes where soulless computers run everyone’s life or people are forced into suicide booths for the enjoyment of the elite or the Roman Empire runs the world with an iron fist and they think those all sounds like great ideas.
Because most of us are arrogant, short-sighted, stupid, greedy, and have no empathy.
At this point I know I need to move to a blue as fuck state, or maybe emigrate to somewhere with better enshrined lgbt rights, universal healthcare, and legal weed, like say Mexico.
(I’m kidding but only just barely.)
We are emigrating because we have that option. I wish I could take all of the good people with us. Especially the ones at risk, like the queer people and the brown people.
This punk fag won’t go down quietly or nicely is all I’m saying. Fed it gets better bullshit my entire life lol.
Brother dead at 29 from heroin ✅.
Father dead at 62 from brain cancer ✅.
Personal Dx of pain and suffering, only cure is death for me at 34. Am 38 now. ✅.
Just tell me where to join team blue for Civil War II.
edit: I don’t use the f word lightly…I was a very bullied boy…I’m trying to empower myself or whatevers. I won’t go back!
You need a rotation on Risa, friend, not war.

I’d probably pull a Lower Decks engineering and make a device to insta-cure stress because vacations are scary.
For what it’s worth I’ve spent last 2 years not working trying to recover from burnout etc everything. 🥹
We sound similar. I wish today didn’t suck. Just want to make sure we aren’t spinning out and being ineffective. We need people to care and help.
Let me know how it goes with your anti-stress device, because I could use it, too.
Here’s to resistance being not-futile. ✌️
All I’ve manged to say on the matter is this:
Just walking around with this expression and saying “fuck” but in a terrified but also numb kind of way.
It’s perfecto.
