What Do You Do When You Can't Do Anything? Everything is on fire, but until a proper fire department shows up, there's not a lot to do but watch it burn.

Lately, I've been angry. Usually, I deal with it by tackling my problems head-on, but what do you do with a problem like "America?" www.antisocial.blog/what-do-you-...

If You're Down, Forget Leaning In β€” Reach Out Whether you have agoraphobia like me or are just extremely introverted, the answer to your depression and loneliness is the thing you fear the most β€”Β human interaction.

Is the outside making you nervous, anxious, and depressed? You know what the cure is? Going right back outside. Check out this story about what my agoraphobia taught me about the #lonelinessepidemic on ANTISOCIAL: www.antisocial.blog/if-youre-dow...

Yup. That'll bring down the price of eggs. Who knew the culprit was just Black people existing all along?

I’m Retiring from Being a Strong Black Woman β€” I Want to Be a Mediocre White Man Now After a lifetime of overachieving, outperforming, and overcompensating, I’m done. Give me the carefree confidence of Chad, the job security of Todd, and the audacity of Trump.

I no longer want to be β€œtwice as good.” I want to be barely competent and still overpaid. yesha.substack.com/p/im-retirin...

Also, I have no clue who you are either. So I guess we're just two nobodies engaging in a post no one will ever read. Sad.

Oh well, I'm going to go live my real life now as a nobody. I hope you enjoy your life as a nobody as well.

Or you can keep responding, and we can keep trolling each other! 😍

I feel so honored and blessed by your presence. I don't engage much with anyone or anything on BlueSky (or on social really). And you aren't exactly making me feel like I should start, but again, I appreciate you!!! Please keep going. If I don't respond to every post please don't take it personal!
