I know it’s just anecdotal but the amount of people around me who have gotten some sort of long-term illness, cancer, and/or neurological symptoms in just the past 4 years is low-key terrifying.

I can’t find an actual CDC source for this info, even the Outbreaks page for this month only lists Salmonella

Maybe it really is just horrible punching down on others by the majority. It’s hard not to get all doomer about it. Shit really isn’t okay for too many people and for no sensible reason. For what it’s worth, I don’t think you or anyone else deserves such awful treatment just for existing and surviving. We shouldn’t have to struggle or be forced into isolation to such extremes. I’m kinda rambling, sorry. This varied suffering feels so forced and deliberately cruel.

I’m sitting here wondering why it is so many others feel this way, because I’m right there with you. I never know what I’m doing wrong but for some reason everyone treats me like a nuisance or like I’m evil when I just want to spread love and see people filled with joy. Hugs to you, stranger, sorry things are so heavy.

There was a study from PNAS about the SMOC slowing and reversing recently as well. 2060 seems awfully far away with the way things are accelerating.

Tea! So much tea. Earl grey and green tea in the morning, chamomile or herbal at night.

Where I went to middle school/high school my parents had to sign something that opted OUT of getting a paddle used on us for punishment, either on the hands or butt. One of the gym teachers constantly brought it up and would volunteer to spank kids this way.

My condolences. I’ve used gold glitter hot glue gun sticks to repair an old mug that now holds pens and pencils on my shelf. May your next favorite drinking mug live long and stay sturdy.

I need to watch this again

I relate to this so much. I frequently describe my thoughts as multiple hamsters running on different wheels in my head that are all trying to outpace the other.
