I'm dreading 2025 and can't enjoy the New Year. It's just incoming awful and I don't feel like celebrating.

I don't want another four years of shameless fascism
HIKIKOMORTIS
Mood.
Horrible Goose
I don't know how he was even allowed to run as a felon
HIKIKOMORTIS
Not a single bit of any of this makes sense.
Horrible Goose
It really doesn't and it's not right
HIKIKOMORTIS
Nope. And all the belated realization of the idiots who voted for him doesn’t roll the clock back.

But I also worry that the GOP used his cult following simply as a way to get Vance in. Because he’s trouble.

it's understandable. i wish i could do more for you

Horrible Goose
He is trouble. I don't like any of this. Especially not Musk being involved
Horrible Goose
I'm just scared and I'm helpless and can't fix this
ᴄʜɪʜɪʀᴏ🗡️

Horrible Goose
It just keeps getting worse and worse. How can any of us do anything to fix this?
Out Of Darkness
just kinda white knuckling through and screaming at our representatives who are failing to do anything useful I guess
Out Of Darkness
protesting when/if you can
Horrible Goose
Yup
Out Of Darkness
learning where to find the good fireworks
Horrible Goose
I'm in a red state so no amount of yelling at the people in charge will do anything
Horrible Goose
They ignored out votes on abortion and won't listen to what the people want
Out Of Darkness
sounds right
Out Of Darkness
I joined my local indivisible, you probably have one as well they might have better ideas
Horrible Goose
I'm so tired of Americas bullshit.
Horrible Goose
Ooh, that's something at least
Out Of Darkness
yeah it's at least some information to see what people are doing now that we've given up on our reps doing anything
Horrible Goose
Thank you, that's helpful!
Out Of Darkness
of course!
Out Of Darkness
otherwise I would say if you're consuming all the doom, try to find someone who has some good news. Don't sink into despair that's what they want
Out Of Darkness
they want us overwhelmed, confused, and giving up
Horrible Goose
They're good at delivering that doom and despair, that's for sure.
Out Of Darkness
they sure are
Out Of Darkness
and if you can't find a positive, disconnect entirely. I know it's hard but find something that gives you joy to focus on. A hobby, a video game, gardening
Out Of Darkness
anything to not be consuming the endless despair swill
Horrible Goose
Yeah, maybe I'll pick up a new game or something.
Horrible Goose
Something positive.
Out Of Darkness
get you something you can hyperfixate on
Out Of Darkness
I've been playing farming games like mad lol
Horrible Goose
Farming games are so good for that
Out Of Darkness
building my coffee and turnip empire
Horrible Goose
I could pick up animal crossing again and try for more lily of the valleys
Out Of Darkness
there you go!
Horrible Goose
It's something at least!

i’ve cut basically all news content out except for this one newsletter
Erin In The Morning | Erin Reed | Substack
glamour ghoul
trans writer reporting on trans news and a lot of it’s bad but there’s a lot of good happening too, a lot of pushback and that’s encouraging to see
Out Of Darkness
wow I'm glad to see NV is low risk according to the map
Horrible Goose
Oh, that's great. Thank you!
glamour ghoul
but also ... i’ve played persona 4 twice and i’m like 60 hours in on p3p, persona 4 was like 80+ hours each time
glamour ghoul
so that’s how i’m dealing, in a fellow red state 
glamour ghoul
but sic is right, they’re distracting and wearing us out with the bullshit, it’s the intentional strategy. so engaging with the news as little as possible is not a bad thing imo
Horrible Goose
Thank you for the help. It's hard not to get overwhelmed with the news. Especially when it's so bad
Out Of Darkness
yep I feel it
Out Of Darkness
it's a common tactic and an effective one, we just have to stay alert and cling close to the communities we can
Horrible Goose
I don't want to be an easy target. I gotta stay upbeat as I can
Horrible Goose
It just keeps getting worse
Horrible Goose
I'm drowning in politics and I'm suffering.
Out Of Darkness
yeah, I know man
Out Of Darkness
it's grim, but there are people fighting back
Out Of Darkness
you're not alone, and people aren't as content to sit back and let it happen this time
𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛
their plan relies on us being overwhelmed, it's why they just keep going so hard all the time. and it's easy to get got by that. that's not a weakness <3 we are all here for you

Thank you. It's hard not to curl up into a little ball and sleep my life away right now. It's so grim, that's the best word for it.
