Been really struggling with stuff lately. Knowing I'm not the only one, and that others actually care is sometimes all that allows me to keep going.
I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them.
Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.

Dropped the car off for repairs, and as I walked 3 miles home I was passed by quite a few EVs, and only 5 people. I realised at that point that we are living in the future, but is it turning into the future of Bradbury's Pedestrian? I hope not!

Just heard that the latest EO (at least reported by the BBC) is mandating a return to using plastic drinking straws. Is that moronic shitgibbon determined to destroy the planet, or has Elon bought shares in a plastics company?

Not sure why, but on the day after I clearly had the most intense dream (possible nightmare, I don't recall) in years, when I was woken by my long-suffering wife who I was apoarently trying to kick, my BSky feed is full of posts about dreams. Should I be concerned?

Holy cow! Logged on to Xwitter for the first time in months, after being sent a link by a friend. There's nothing but spam and right-wing insanity on my feed. I eon't be going back.
