Meh:
"always the weird recluse nerds"
"always the muslims"
"always the far right whites"
"always the tranny latinx libtards".....
There's always a focal point, I guess everybody needs a cause and has to hate someone.
Meh:
The no-plan PLAN.
Like order within absence of routine. Sigh.
Vaguely thinking about this whole idea of planning within the context of no plan at all. The past few weeks whatever plan I had for my stupid classes has sort of fallen apart and even though I am signed up for classes next semester technically I don't know if I will be allowed to do/want to do it/can do it.
I've pretty much been doing zero socializing here where I am at. The very few friends that I would see in-person BEFORE I moved I absolutely don't see anymore because of a) distance and b) covid.
I'm sort of sick of all the massive amounts of advice that swish around on TV and the Internet but really amount to nothing but words.
I've just emotionally checked out and I think I need to maybe just write down some kind of weekly plan of doing certain things.
Sigh.
Should I make a list of the so-called multitude of crises currently being yapped about and maybe experienced.
- Vaccination rollout organization failures
- Covid deaths
- Healthcare system and worker burn out and capacity thresholds
- Social isolation/distancing
- Mental health crisis
- Substance use crisis
- Unemployment system fraud and stagnation
- Potential further economic and unemployment uncertainty
- Media Editorializing everything instead of merely reporting
- "Government security" crisis
- Mistrust of government, mistrust of media and cults forming
- Actual government fraud
- Start of new role out of censorship bound to create a storm of retaliatory censorship into the future
- Russia hacking Homeland security etc.
I'm not sure why I'm making a list of crisis. It's something about the piecemeal way all information is received these days. I left off toilet paper shortage crisis because that one seems to have resolved hehe.
Meh:
not sure it has much to do with voicelessness but I also feel compelled to make some kind of inventory of information dissonance
- Listening to an inquiry about some government workers have died of covid, some specific details about how people could not get PPE or distance themselves in their jobs, there are morgues over-loaded, how a plethora of suffering happens when people get sick with Covid AND on the other hand those who continue to make statements like how the (vast majority of people will only become mildly ill), It's only the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions who are at the highest risk (which is a lot of people).
I'm too tired to write anymore about that at this second. It's been a constant onslaught of so much advise from too many random commentators, seemingly tasked with calming the masses and encourage the economic machine.
Hopalong:
I get it.
For me, one reason the avalanche of media news and opinion can go toxic if I don't limit it...is that the isolation of quarantine binds me tighter to the news, ironically.
It's as though all those human opinions matter to me much much more than they would if I weren't yearning for connection, human voice, and stories.
Once again it drives me back inward for my strength, which means I find sometimes my well is low or leaky or dry, and other times, it feels fuller and I'm encouraged.
Hope you'll find some "streams" that serve you well until we're all outside and relaxed again.
hugs
Hops
Meh:
Yep, people trying to do social distancing/trying to stay healthy are naturally going to the TV, Internet or Radio.
