For everyone of us US Folks that are going to have to live through the next four years of hell, I just want to remind you that it's perfectly understandable to invest in any and every one of your offline interests going forward. Doomscrolling the next four years of our lives isn't going to help us at all, especially with TikTok essentially becoming a right-wing leaning platform overnight and Meta doing whatever they can to fall in line with Trump. Invest in yourself and your people (friends, family) by investing in your own offline interests and hobbies. Create that small little comfort zone and world that'll help you and your people get through the next four years. Buy your favorite movies (physically!), buy more books (physically!), rebuy those childhood consoles or video games you no longer have, build up a stock of LEGOs to build or collect whatever it is that'll help bring you a sense of joy and escapism. Do whatever it is you need to do to in order to create an offline world or ecosystem that makes you and your people feel a sense of safety.

COOOOOOOOOOME HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME THE KETTLES WHIIIIISTLIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!! MY HEARTS A GHOST LIMB REACHING STARBURNED AND UNKISSED!!!!!!!!!!
Staring at giant clouds far off into the horizon is always such a weirdly calming feeling. For some reason more than anything else it reminds me of how small I really am. I don’t get the same feeling from looking at a giant sky scraper or a where the ocean meets the sky. It’s only ever with clouds that my problems seem to melt away for a moment as they pass.
Accepting that life is an endless cycle of clearing space for new people new things and new places
