I don't think I fully understood "the revolution will not be televised" until 2025. I'm begging you to care about things for more than the 30 seconds it takes to leave your newsfeed. Yes there's a lot and it can be overwhelming but you know what you are passionate about. Do something.

In my head I'm a cozy fantasy person, especially since a lot of it is queer but I've read Legends and Lattes, Bookshop and Bonedust, Cybernetic Tea Shop, You Can't Spell Treason without Tea, and Psalm for the Wild-Built and I think it's time to admit this genre isn't for me.

Having cats is knowing that if you ever get robbed in the middle of the night they will get away with it. What's that loud crash? Probably just the cat and it can wait until the morning.
