Between pipelines getting jammed, the slow-motion general strike, protests everywhere all the time, Sheikh Jarrah, mass shootings every day, new covid strains in India, and just the general background noise of life getting worse and worse for almost everyone on the planet, it feels like someone tied a brick to the big “accelerate the contradictions” lever.
Anyone else felt this way lately?
I’ve noticed my life just keeps getting worse no matter what. My biggest fear is that it’s one of those situations where it needs to get worse before it gets better.
I’m in the same boat. But a lot of other people are too, which is kind of comforting.

It’s amazing, there was careful optimism with the vaccines. Like get your vaccine, but please remain socially distanced and stay at home as much as possible. But now I’ve even seen liberals throwing caution to the wind because they want to get out and go to brunch so bad.
now is the time of monsters etc.
I think things have been a bit less crazy than they were in 2020, but that might start to change.
Really? I feel like things are even weirder now than they were this time last year.
I really can’t tell if the empire is actually just so deep into collapse that all of the facades are falling away or if I’m just old enough and aware enough to see past them now
