The US is being radically destabilized from within, and everyone in their right mind is terrified. Our top scientists are either resigning from their positions, or being fired by the administration. Trump is insulating himself with sycophants who pander to his whims, like Putin.
I feel miserable.

This person didn’t mean it that way, but it still came off tactless. I know I’m at least partly to blame for having “hair trigger” emotions right now with everything else going on, but I still thought, “…really? Now?😭”
Ugh.

What do I even say to someone who has it made in the shade and always will? What do they even need me for? I feel like I’m a means to an end and idk what to do about it.

So long as individual Americans ignore our collective suffering, the longer these woes will continue.
We look at Germany and say “never again” while a fascist upheaval is happening in real-time on American soil. We’ve alienated our allies; we’ve kowtowed to Russia.
Our democracy is on life support.

This year has been my least productive year for art. Ever. My spirit’s crushed beneath the weight of all I stand to lose. I have no idea what to do about healthcare next year when the ACA budget is cut. I’m sick of living in constant fear of this evil administration. It is a fucking DEATH CULT

Furbies… Beanie Babies… Tamagotchis… there are so many options out there, but rebranded Trolls are the thing that people flock to? I don’t get it😭
Would rather spend my money on a high-quality plush. Careweres/Snughouls are beautiful. One of those is better than a dozen cheap-looking gremlins

And especially for people with breeds who are predisposed to genetic disorders later in life. What do you mean you’re okay spending $2500+ for a purebred dog, but don’t wanna insure your investment. Are you nuts?!😭

vet bills, you’ll wish you had it. I’ve already gotten a good reimbursement for my two kittens on their wellness checkups, vaccines, lab tests etc. The people begging for money during catastrophic pet emergencies deserve help, for sure… but it’s pretty easily preventable with a bit of common sense.

I’ll probably be heartbroken about it forever. Unfortunately, I think that a lot of men use the guise of feminism/progressivism as camouflage so people don’t suspect them of the evil they’re doing… and it works! I never thought he’d be capable of it😞

about this for days. It’s the latest disappointment in an already brutal year for me; the straw that broke the camel’s back, I guess.
Yeah.

The cognitive dissonance is staggering. I *wept* over that book; it was so beautiful and haunting. It will never stop hurting—that some of the same people who create magnificent, moving art are also capable of tremendous evil. What the actual fuck?!
It sounds lame, but I’ve been crying off and on—

*him.*
It’s hard to explain, but The S*ndm*n was instrumental in finally helping me accept my transgender identity. This author made me love reading again, and I’m devastated that the guy who wrote The Oc*an at the E*d of the L*ne is somehow the same guy who sexually violated numerous women

than ever before. Nothing I do matters. No one cares for my art; fewer and fewer people reach out; I’m always on the cusp of losing my bodily autonomy in this hell world. I don’t even think my partner cares half as much as he once did. Everything’s a means to an end, and I’m fucking tired of living

know what to do. I’ve lost so much as-is, and what I haven’t lost seems as though it’s on its way out. Some of my problems are self-inflicted, for sure, but idk how to break out of the self-sabotaging cycle I keep putting myself into.
Everything hurts and so little makes sense. I feel hollower—
