Not that I am sad or anything 
(secretly though lowkey kinda sad)
Cat died last week. She was always there for me and now it feels like my home is empty. I've had her for most of my life and I dont really know or feel the same about anything.

Sad thread is still going strong I see, I'm still sad myself, maybe that's why I've dumped 43 hours into Baldur's Gate 3 since the start of the week
Work's been shitty and stressful, understaffed, overworked. Getting stood up on Monday by this girl I've given up on really set the tone for the week on my end. Just lots and lots of stress I'm not dealing with in healthy ways.
I should go to bed
Me deciding to work in climate adaptation: "Sure, things aren't looking good but at least I can do something that makes a difference."
Me getting the requisite education: "Okay, the best time to act would have been two decades ago but there are still opportunities to avert the worst of the consequences."
Me working in climate adaptation: "Holy fuck we have zero idea of the hell we are unleashing upon ourselves."
Honestly hexbear is the best place I've found to commiserate because at least people are willing to acknowledge the existence and scope of the problem, but even here I try to keep the extent of my bleakness under some wraps because I don't want to be that guy (even though I'd imagine I'm 90% that guy). And I've shouldered just a small fraction of the burden climate scientists must be feeling. If you see one, give 'em a hug because they probably need it. We're in for a rough future and the ones who had the power to prevent it but chose not to are going to die safe and comfortable in their beds and that is a damn shame.
Still feeling like I should've just become a musician or a hermit pottery gnome or something.
my roommate is a fundamentalist christian
my other roommate is a kundalini yogi witch
neither of these women believe in climate change
yes, sad
Do they fight crime together
