Serious question, because 2026: What do you do instead of screaming into the void when screaming clearly isn't going to do to good gods-damned thing?
Asking for a friend.
@StaceyCornelius Silly answer: scream only at the hand-crafted, free-range, carbon neutral voids, not the regular voids.
Serious answer: take care of myself and look for non-void beauty that still (thankfully) exists, at least until the GOP notices it and decides to take it away from me. -

Genius.

Get outside and soak in some nature. Garden. Take my puppy for a walk. Read some fluffy fiction or listen to music that makes me happy. We’re living in constant chaos, so I try my best to calm my nervous system by doing something that makes me feel more balanced.

Excellent advice.
That's really my go to when stressed.
Walking in nature. Breathe, examine a flower, piece of moss, feel the rain/sunshine on my face... -

@KimberlyN That's brilliant. I miss my dogs, but have doggie pals on my local trail. Got some kisses from the sweetest cinnamon doodle variation girl today.
Sounds like you have an excellent strategy, thanks for sharing it.
Constant chaos sounds like a great big understatement, doesn't it.

indeed. It brings me back to a better perspective---
"Mother Nature" is truly the one who is in control of the world, not politicians. Spending time outdoors reminds me of that. -

@StaceyCornelius Go look for a waterfall. Find the sound of waves crashing on a shore. Find a space without mobile service (usually, woods!). Run.
My ideas

It does seem like a massive understatement. This timeline defies description most days.

@StaceyCornelius ride bikes and drink booze.
Usually not at the same time.

@famousringo @StaceyCornelius beer and video games. I become more confident with not fathering children with every passing year.

@EdwinG Oh, I cannot tell you how much I want to run. But I think you might mean jogging when my nervous system wants to flee in a big way 🤪
Thank you

@famousringo Well, you wouldn't want to spill anything on the handlebars

@famousringo @StaceyCornelius some more context. Cost of living keeps going up and the stability of the environment keeps going down. I do not wish to subject future offspring to such an environment. I do not wish to subject my offspring let alone the mother to a lower standard of living than I had.
