This sucks.
Check in, homies. If you’re good say good and if you’re not flip me the bird or something. But I think we are all closer to an edge than we’d like to admit.
Maybe real talk for a while is good.
@Coffee_and_Salt new here. Live 15 mins from the outlet mall of current news. On edge doesn’t even describe it
@erika_bower oh no. Nice to meet you and yeah on edge must seem such a trite description. I’m sure calm is a hard place to find for you at the moment. I’m really sorry. How are you holding up?
@Coffee_and_Salt doing my best to find the bravery to leave the house tbh. Making sure I look at my oldest when he goes to school so I can remember what he’s wearing. Trying to distract my self with my studies and my busy ass kids schedules
@erika_bower that’s more than a person should have to do. I’m so sorry. You must be so exhausted. There’s not enough distraction in a day is there?
@Coffee_and_Salt not right now. It feels like we’re having to fight for damn near everything here right now. #gunreform #bodilyautonomy #lgbtqrights the newest bs is they (#txlege) are trying to put a bill thru to teach THIRD GRADERS in battlefield wound care including chest seals. We can’t even make this shit up at this point
@erika_bower no, it’s truly beyond acceptability. I am so so sorry. You and your family should never have to live with this torture. This daily fear. Summer can’t come fast enough. Are your kids out of school soon for the year? I hope so…
@Coffee_and_Salt yes and no. My oldest is in a collegiate program so after the school year is over he’s back for another month for an additional class 😒
@erika_bower and no end in site for the fear and worry. I commend you for enduring it. I hope it goes by quickly and entirely uneventfully.
