Started watching four episodes of vintage anime (Sailor Moon, Patlabor, Slayers, Gundam) every week with Discord friends and can't stress enough how watching fun stuff with online friends is a low-cost, low-effort way to help you feel better about shit. Can't recommend it enough.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

I’m not gonna be able to keep up with all the terrible shit y’all’s president is doing. Like… it’s just bad for my nervous system.

Take care of yourselves today.

Watch your comfort show.
Eat some good food.
Take a nap.
Move your body.
Talk to loved ones.

if it helps - and it genuinely has for me! - try thinking of everything you do to take care of your heart, mind & body to ensure your own well-being as a tiny way to steal his life force, eat up one of his last days on earth and give it to yourself, because you MUST OUTLIVE HIM to dance on his grave

The way forward is the same as it’s always been - organize your neighborhood, your household, your workplace. Nobody is coming to save us except ourselves. Look out for one another.

About to make southern chicken soup and curry chicken cause everyone in this house deserves their ancestral comfort food in cold weather

Figuring out which topics to ignore and which ones to key in on is going to be a big challenge for everyone. Hoping everyone finds their balance.
