Dumpster Fire 102 - Everyone Is So Broken, Factory Settings 10 - Gratitude, Noam Blum Thinks Twitter Is Too Important, Politically Homeless - Depressed & Disgusted, and Holiday Merch!
So profoundly true. I try to avoid politics. Luckily my sister isn’t drinking anymore. And we do Christmas at her house. I definitely relate to all the old wounds being opened during holidays with family. Old wounds which never really healed because they were never really addressed to start with. Painful. Tough. Yet this past Thanksgiving was chill and good and easy. I think it’s because of my dad’s terminal cancer, and because my teenage niece survived a very serious suicide attempt last year. And the past couple years of Covid. We’re all grateful.
