If I see one more person trying to sane-wash the president of our country posting an AI video of himself dressed up as a king airdropping feces on American citizens exercising their first amendment right, I am going to go certifiably insane.
THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL. OR. OKAY. Stop acting like it is.

Dead of night? Power out because of a huge storm? No car to drive yourself anywhere with power? Feel like you're going insane stuck inside the house with no lights and no sounds? Ask your doctor if wandering around town on foot like you're a survivor in an apocalyptic wasteland is right for you!

One of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that how I was treated *because* of my mental illnesses did just as much damage to me as my actual mental illnesses did. I am spending so much time unlearning internalized ableism so that I can actually heal and move forward.

Hello, my name is Cassandra, and I ate almost an entire watermelon all by myself yesterday. In my defense, society's collapsing, and it *is* summertime.

Originally, this post said "Today was bad. Nature helped."
And hearing the news today *was* bad. I cried. I raged.
But you know what else happened? I laughed til I cried on the way to the grocery store. I went for a walk and watched the sunset.
There is still beauty. I'm going to fight for it.

There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism
The rest is details

I’ve seen more than one post now of people saying the Republicans will pay a political price for this vote in 2026 and I gotta say folks… you’re all way more optimistic than I am. Americans aren’t great with cause and effect. They’ll assume their Medicaid got cut because of Dems somehow

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Every time I take a break from the news for my mental health, I come back to discover that not only is there a veritable onslaught of news waiting for me, almost every single bit of it is mind-bogglingly horrific and cruel. How the hell are we supposed to keep going?
