RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

All of it, war, business, technology, religion, the hustle and bustle, economy blah blah blah. Fuck man, stop. Its like... All bad. I've got this little window in my pocket that gives me a 30,000 foot view of what humans are doing on earth and on the whole? Its mostly bullshit. Fucking exhausting man. Chill the fuck out. So many of the issues we're grappling with as a species feel either self imposed or because we are arguing over what god or flag we believe in. So often it all feels pointless. Its tiring, I'm tired and I can't seem to look away from the multiple slow moving train wrecks barrelling towards us all and how knotted up we are about shit that doesn't seem important. I don't think it should be this complicated. Eat, sleep, get some play, work when you have to. Cmon man, cool it. Happy earth day, thanks for humoring my whining.

Im sorry you are feeling this way.

More importantly, I am sorry that you are being made to feel this way.

I have found some solace in volunteering and reading. I take some of the time that I dedicated to TV and doomscrolling to something without an internet connection.

The wild thing is this: you feel more connected when the wifi is down.
