mood, mh, anxiety (-), uspol incidental
Yeah, there is definitely something going around today, affecting the collective mood. Every single social media feed I have is a colossal bummer, and I'm not doing much better.
I just can't stop... mourning things that I haven't lost and have no current reason to think I'm about to lose. And I can't unfixate on the cats and the impending night of subfreezing, even though they've probably all got fine places to curl up and stay warm.
You know what would really improve my mood right now? Fourteen hundred dollars. Or Joe Manchin's pasty severed head on a silver platter and the physique required for Salome cosplay.

@zebratron2084 I think fatigue actually. Like F’rex we’re cranking through an impeachment which follows up the attempted coup which follows up this brutal miserable election, etc. there just doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.

@Leucrotta Hey, I'm making MONEY off that shit. (PredictIt, see recent toots.) That part is fine! :D
But you're spot on about the fatigue. Winter is tougher in NOLA than I expected 'cause nobody here is equipped for it. And COVID just... keeps... dragging... on. There's no way the isolation and uncertainty couldn't be getting to me.
So you're right, it's not a good time to be making sweeping pessimistic assumptions about what will happen 5, 10, 20, 30 years from now. For all I know, Parallax actually makes it somehow and we spend our declining years making comics, Peggy miraculously hits 90 years old despite her nearly-all-starch-and-dairy diet (SIGH) and we go out in style.
