I don't know if I should make this post, but has anyone noticed the weird vibe here these days? (hexbear.net)

Is it just because the collapse is getting particularly bad and everyone is extra miserable? (Me too, hard not to be down when the world is burning and you can't afford food.)

I have this stupid thing where I feel the need to help, but I don't know what to do... I'm sorry if I annoy everyone. I feel powerless.

Feel free to delete this if it counts as too meta

EDIT: I don't really know how to react to everyone saying such heartfelt things, other than saying thank you.

Everything does feel pretty dark and I've personally decided not to post a few times now just because none of its nothing but depressing. People here already know how grim it is so it feels like just dwelling in misery at times.

Just yesterday I spent half the day sad about the way my national news made a story about the starving khamas hostages, with pictures. And at the same time they have not even once done this for the Palestinians. It's exhausting to see the consent machine turn and sitting here so helpless about it. I often find I have nothing left to say after I am done with the mandatory wake up, work, see horrible things nobody cares about, sleep-cycle.

But still Care-Comrade to the comrades on this here site, this place is keeping me sane.
