I know English, Esperanto, and Láadan, and I'm currently learning Hindi.

Have spent time studying Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic as well but they're on hold as I'm trying to focus on one language at a time. 😀

Me: the idea of having a kid these days is scary.

White fam: just go to another country to have a baby - they'll get dual citizenship that way.

🙄🙄🙄

Take care of each other when they're feeling down. Tell your trans friends that you love and support them no matter what. Tell them that you will protect them.

Send thanks and gratitude to the people you look up to, who are doing Good works, who are fighting for our rights.

If you don't have the energy to be angry and yell at those doing Evil, instead try to send your good energy for those doing Good.

I'm not very good at fighting people. But I'm good at supporting people. So instead of only trying to think of ways I can fight (which I would not be as efficient at), I will figure out ways to support, so that others may continue to fight and resist. I'll fight too, but it isn't what I'm best at.

Like honestly the political anxiety is making it impossible for me to get anything done and actually do any good because I'm so stuck with analysis paralysis. But I don't want to just sit here doing nothing and panicing.

OK I'm trying to make notes on Good things I can do. I ordered a corkboard to hang up above my computer.

It feels so easy to forget goals and things I can do to make the world a better place with every day being full of bad news, so that's why I'm going to post the items up on the wall.

I declare...
the fun is gray
you lay down
the poison is old
the pie mourns the evening

I should be able to physically click-and-drag certain email messages to the top of my inbox. Who fucking even organizes it all by date anyway? Have a separate pane for "new emails" and a separate pane where I organize my shit myself.

So who is going to write the post-Trumpocalyptic novel about how we all become coal miners and women become the property of men again?

Wait, that's like a mix between The Hunger Games and A Handmaid's Tale.

I need to work on game art and summer class prep.

I don't want to buy expensive coffee and work at coffee shop.

I don't want to sit in the apartment all day working, either.

🐦

Ok ummm I guess I'll get up and take my computer somewhere? I just feel like shit.

Me: If I weren't working full time I could be more active and focus on my games.

Also me: it's day 3 of break, spent most of the afternoon laying on the sofa, lethargic and unwilling to do anything.

Lethargy and tennitis
