usually in a political year i would be watching these conventions and every minute of news analysis but this time for my mental health i am not, besides i already know all of the ways trump and vance are pieces of shit so what new would i find out besides how many people like those pieces of shit?
the wife and i have some goals to reduce anxiety through increases in working out mixed with a much reduced schedule, as soon as fringe is over that is. I was not exactly in omniman shape here this year at con and starting out a year ahead of time might just work for next year.
when i first saw anything about the shooting, it was while i was on twitter and all i saw at first was trump looking bloody and being walked off the stage and at first i thought he had been full on assassinated... you can imagine the many different feelings a person would have in that context
being overscheduled, i really noticed my health suffering as there are just not enough hours in a day to do it all so something has got to give if I have any hope to cosplay as the superheros I enjoy:
Just left a rightwing coffee shop, where all the men were saying how exhausted they were from masturbating to the Trump raised fist pic all weekend. “But still,” one guy said “that’s all I’m gonna do today.” Others agreed.
I got out fast when they started up again.
I was feeling like I needed to mentally disengage with politics BEFORE the shit all went down, and now I am just despondent about it all, in a pit I can't seem to drag myself out of
people keep on saying very wrong things like "i wish it was two inches to the left" which is just so way way off base, it is to the right. I think people are getting right and left mixed up with stage right and stage left
Dave Foley playing an old man character that is actually based on the old man character he has been doing since his 20s is a pretty incredible thing to experience #SpaceCadet
i kind of feel like this is the week to strongly disengage with the internet and the news cycle for my own mental health while at the same time knowing i can't
