How do you guys cope? Asking for a friend
- mom would be sad

Okay that takes care of the basics. The next step is how does one keep functioning?
i got bonkers lucky and my latest employer gives me this thing called Actually Affordable Good Health Insurance™ so i went and got my broken brain diagnosed and now they’re letting me have the legal meth, so now I no longer fuck up absolutely everything at work and sometimes do my chores
if i had one wish i would just make all stimulants OTC. i don’t give a FUCK if people “abuse” them. the amount of people’s lives that could be changed if we didn’t put their mental health behind a fucking paywall…
literally just do anything, anything you can to get good healthcare. it’s truly the one thing that most enables people to turn their shit around
It’s a crazy time to be alive to be sure as we’re watching the existing world order creak and splinter. Western capitalism is buckling under the weight of its own contradictions. Climate chaos, mass extinction, wars of desperation, the crises pile up as the system enters terminal decline. Yet within the rubble, there lies a possibility for a different world as well.
The Global South is rewriting the rules of the game and shaking off western exploitation. Look at China’s green tech blitz, vaulting past the West in solar, EVs, and nuclear power. Or Vietnam, massively slashing poverty in the past three decades while building a socialist economy that leaves IMF orthodoxy in the dust. These are blueprints for the rest of the world to follow. The axis of power is tilting away from extraction and plunder and toward socialism. The failures of neoliberalism are discrediting western model even in the west at this point. While reactionary backlash will escalate as the west becomes increasingly desperate, there is a potential of a better world on the horizon, and that gives me hope for the future.
their fumbling to keep the empire going brings me joy. but the longer it goes, the harder it will come crashing down upon our heads.
Indeed, I’m not too thrilled to be living through a second societal collapse in my lifetime.
Chores often feels pointless in those times
it does until the chaos is so overwhelming that the 5 seconds of relief from a clean bathroom sink becomes worth it
also i’m definitely cleaning because i want to and not because i’m avoiding applying to jobs and doing my taxes
Me too thanks
