I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if the present situation fills you with unimaginable dread and worry, or uncertainty, or just plain Stress, you aren’t alone. I don’t think I’ve had a single night of restful sleep since February.

You shouldn’t feel guilty using your creative or recreational outlets to cope with the imminent threat posed by recent decisions from our administration. Millions more people are going to get sick because of it. That’s scary. It would be wrong NOT to have some kind of bad feeling about it.

More importantly, it’s okay to have no idea what you’re going to do or what will happen. I don’t think any of us have any real certainty about that in this moment.

But I gotta do my due diligence and ask: are y’all okay? Because holy fuck, I am not.
