How’s everyone doing? (beehaw.org)

It’s bleak out there in a lot of places. How’s everybody coping?

I’ve realized I don’t ever talk about it much, because I don’t know anyone in my offline life that it’s safe to talk to. My health is precarious and my housing sometimes feels a little uncertain, so I’m very much just keeping my head down. But I don’t know! I feel Concerned! Ahh! Stress! Stressful time! I grew up in the 2000s and never thought I’d see anything like this get worse again. It’s surreal. Back then, I felt like i could freely express my rage. Right now, I can’t. It’s disorienting. How is everybody else doing? What’s it been like for you?

Yeah! I’m in a very conservative area of a blue state and it’s just like. Hard to accurately assess risk? I’m not exactly closeted but not exactly out. The uncertainty is the woooorst. I hope you find some safety in your life that is definite.

Same to you! I'm hopeful but not too optimistic about the short term, I hope it gets more accepted in the long term.
