I really don’t wanna block all the RESIST stuff, but I really don’t wanna see it either. I’m so burned out from all the angry yelling and rah rahing resist online. I did it since before 2016 and all 4 years of that dumpster file. I believe in resisting, and doing my part to. In real life.
I can’t be the only one feeling this way, can I? I feel like screaming about all the assholes and constantly talking about them, just gives them power they don’t deserve.
Tired. I’m just so fucking tired.
@philipcardella I likely will. It’s also just ugly to see a beautiful place trying to be changed into a copy of exactly what it was designed to not be like. It’s a mixture of all the things.
@JeSsA Might be a good time to find something else to do, at least for a little while. 💚
@JeSsA take a break from all social media for a few hours. Take care of yourself. Look for goofy videos of those wild and crazy baby goats.
@JeSsA filters it up, love.
i feel you. i went hard into paying attention to the news and the rah rah, and then hard the opposite direction when i started being run over by my anxiety on a daily basis.
big hugs. do what you need
@evistre I did. Just needed to vent it out: usually if I say it I can just get over it. 💞💞💞💞
@JeSsA <33333 big hugs :)
@evistre right back atcha!!💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
@JeSsA there’s a balance. Most of us came here because of the dumpster fire. You have a right to want to breathe and you aren’t alone. I’m fucking pissed, but there has to be a place where we aren’t judged for not being the MOST pissed. I’m hoping that’s here.
@Gambit_1 it has been here. Here has been a refuge from all the screaming on Twitter.
I suppose half my issue is resentment for having that taken away. I’ll get over myself. I’m just so tired, and dealing with my own shït. CoSo has always been a place we can vent, and that’s what that post was, honestly.
@JeSsA absolutely! Tonight is fucking crazy for so many reasons! But I did appreciate the sentiment behind the post. There’s a kernel of truth there.
@Gambit_1 ohh tonight is 100% warranted. It’s all the other noise. I wasn’t very specific. I just kinda popped off in a moment of needing to vent
@JeSsA I am exhausted.I take breaks but checking out entirely feels like unearned privilege. I’m not ever getting pregnant again but….
@JeSsA that said you need to take care of you first
@JeSsA I don't think there's going to be many ways to escape this topic for awhile. This cuts deep for a lot of people. Maybe time to take that dream vacation to the Amazon?
@JeSsA same here. What you said 100%
@JeSsA mute, you can't stop someone expressing themselves, but you can filter out the cacophony
@elmaxx absolutely!! I think I just needed to say it, to get over it
@JeSsA gotchu fam
🎼🎶 but you're not the only one 🎶
@JeSsA the protests in 2020 were... not fun for me.
@Expecting_Words I agree. It’s been tough for everyone, and there is a lot of awfulness happening. It’s not that I don’t feel the same way as everyone, I totally do.
@JeSsA Oh man.. I feel this. The word filter has been a godsend.
@jordicusmaximus it may be for me. I’m not there yet. I just had to vent it out.
@JeSsA yah figured, good to let it out, and then drink it up 🥃 😆
@jordicusmaximus ohhh absolutely hahaha
@JeSsA So same... I've made a special exception of talking about this stuff a little bit today, but this is like the first day in months I've felt ok enough in dealing with other things to even broach the topic of politics... I have announced my intentions, said my peace, and now I'm going to get high and resume regular broadcast scheduling. ☮️ 💟
@Apocryphiliac haha I support this. Thanks for sharing your side of things too. It’s not an attack against anyone, just a vent.
@JeSsA No worries, I did not take it that way at all. I'm relieved that you feel that way, in a weird sense. I mean, I don't want to be the only one. 😅
@JeSsA My resolution to this problem last time was this. I quit trying to convince people who live in lala land using common sense. If they had common sense people would not have to try to lead them through the chain of evidence.
Instead, I just worked at reminding my friends and family how important it was to vote. I also reminded them to register to vote if they weren't already.
You are right Jess, words have Power and when we talk about them, it does empower them.
@JeSsA create filters to mute it.
