Weltschmerz

I am tired and everything hurts.

The world simply sucks right now. Everywhere I look, it’s either geopolitical terror, capitalist hell, patriarchal violence, self-optimisation bullshit, AI slop, a complete lack of empathy or just outright hatred. Or it’s a combination of all of those things.

The sheer amount of awful things happening every day and the way powerful people – mostly men – are actively pushing the world into darkness for their own personal gain.. it disgusts me.

On top of that I am scared, especially as a queer person, as a trans person, as a person perceived as female. I am terrified. For my community, for my friends, for my partner, for myself.

Everything is so much worse, so much darker, than it was pre-pandemic. I hate this so much.
