I haven’t been able to post here much recently and just wanted to briefly explain.
My #redundancy is quite central - i am having to prioritise work and job hunt all the time, and it’s knocked my confidence, of course.
But I am also. just completely floored by the state of everything. It feels like this last year we have slipped into dystopia more quickly and further than I thought was possible before: genocide, war normalised, climate collapse in full swing, 1/2
