All my friends are either at dead-end tech jobs or between jobs, microplastics abound in all the food that we have regardless of whether or not the food itself is affordable, and it feels like everyone has collectively lost their minds. What a time to be alive… wishing you well!

I think the job situation right now is bleak, and I don’t mind if people have dead end tech jobs if they enjoy them, and certainly if it’s helping them survive… but what’s the point?

What is the point when we’re isolating ourselves from each other, no longer know how to connect to others, ourselves AND nature? Thats the saddest part 🥹 But we persist. Thank you for being here with me.

Ty for sharing how you’re ~really doing~ and asking these questions. Sending gentle squeezes 🌷I find myself asking similar questions these days and trying out different strategies as the answer. Mostly tho, checking in with friends, gathering when possible IRL, and reading at least one poem or essay or engaging with some art form that reminds us that this hellscape isn’t inevitable and that we *can* push back.

Thank you for these kind words. Yes, IRL gathering is always my #1 choice, but anything more than five people feels so overwhelming 😭 I think slow, mindful and intentional experimentation is always welcome and needed. I am always here as a new person to build and share with.
