I’ve gotten pretty okay at that thing where you carry a gross dish towel from the sink to the wash by slowly turning it in your hand as you walk so it doesn’t drip on your foot.
That’s now I’m going to approach news and politics for a while. Just let it all drip back onto itself until I can get it all cleaned out and have a reasonable tool again.
The dripping is gross and makes me slip and gives me more work to do.
Yuck.
@catlynne333 gotta wash out the gross and get to the solid facts. The narratives are gross and I’m ready for facts. Bring on the facts. Gimmie gimmie facts.
@Coffee_and_Salt looking forward to the washing part.
@Coffee_and_Salt I am not ok today that's for sure
@SaltyVeruca yeah… that’s kind of the position i think we are being pushed to.
The psychological pressure, the cognitive dissonance, the charged reactions, the lashing out… I suppose it’s to be expected in a traumatized zeitgeist.
We as a group are experiencing a cultural CPTSD moment collectively. That shit makes people do, think, and feel things in drastically irrational ways. Ways completely counter to their realities or truest selves.
I’m sorry this is happening.
Sincerely.
@Coffee_and_Salt I know. Backatcha.
@SaltyVeruca wish I had something of actual help to say but yeah. I’m watching some folks kinda just… lose it. And I don’t blame them. At All.
@Coffee_and_Salt ah good a formulated metaphor plan yippee😃 👍
