I don't know. I'm lucky that I'm a teacher and education hasn't been too fucked over in my state, so I'm in a pretty good position currently. But I want to believe that no matter what happens, my priorities are going to be finding community and looking out for each other and resisting for the sake of resisting. I don't know. I've never wanted kids, so I guess there's something biologically off with me since it don't want to keep my genes going. But something about me wants to keep my ideals going. Not sure if you're trying to find reasons to stay alive, but maybe that could be one.

Question for all of you: My therapist (who I meet with virtually) did not show up for our session today. That is not like her. I emailed her about ten minutes in to confirm that we were on for today with no response and then 30 minutes in to tell her I was logging off and expressed that I hoped everything was okay. I haven't heard back and I'm somewhat concerned about her since this really isn't like her. Would you reach out again or just let it be? I'm trying to decide if I was in her position if I would prefer privacy or people showing they care, and I really don't know.
I managed to get zero hours of sleep last night... Wish me luck at work today!
Okay, thanks!
Thank you!
I got into the ticket sales after waiting almost 8 hours in virtual line. Managed to still get something close to what I originally wanted. Still pinching myself!
He's trying so hard to look cool.
I'm going to Tomorrowland!!!. So freaking excited.
Yeah. I don't use tiktok so this doesn't affect me, but the only reason I'm here is that during the whole reddit API fiasco (which, to be honest, as a non-tech savvy person I still don't completely understand), someone posted a link to beehaw and it seemed like a breath of fresh air, so I joined. I had no idea what Lemmy was at the time, and I still really only have a vague idea of what federation actually means.
There are a lot of people on Lemmy who seem to assume that no one worth knowing has a life that doesn't involve a large amount of time on their computer, and that's just silly. I'm grateful for the people who do have the know-how to build this space, but a healthy community of people is going to include a large variety of knowledge and experience.
Sorry for the tangent in reply to your comment; it's just been on my mind for a bit. 😅
I was just now thinking through the pros and cons, and it popped into my head, "On the one hand, I would most definitely rather not have a gender..."
Oh.
I spent an entire day walking along the coast in Lagos, Portugal. The scenery was stunning!
