Okay thanks, the image felt so surreal to me lol

sorry is. Is that bill clinton

For example: ideal wave texture

Also Bluesky's compression makes this a lot granier than it appears on my end :/ sorry guys

even just in entertainment, there are at least 1,000 layoffs coming at paramount now that the merger with Skydance has gone through. And that's directly because they think they won't need that many people to make movies or run a big business any more

Maybe hope is irrational but it doesn't make it less necessary, and you have to try to do what you can. easier said than done, ofc, I don't mean to make it sound too simple

Tbh I struggle with the same thing, and I've done a lot of overcommitting to make up for the feeling that nothing's going to last or matter. I think identifying exactly what you want for yourself helps, having something specific to work towards helps counter the abstract dread of everything else

don't know if this is my place to say but it sounds like a timeline thing, almost? Like it's very hard to live in the present if you don't see yourself as having a past or future. Otoh this makes it really easy to be skilled at "coming to terms with the present" if you already expected nothing

I could've phrased that better, it's just strange to see how it feels they're not even an option any more, and that just seems like a bad sign even compared to a few years back

Actually if Cuomo was promising single mothers up to $2300 in rental assistance I'd support that more than this weird pro-means testing slant
