Y'all probably missed me talking about politics, so..

Jk, but wtf kind of world are we living in?

From watching people and KIDS being unalived on live broadcasting, to watching people talk about how they love starving Palestinians, to women unaliving themselves because of the horrors they're living thru in their country, to innocent people being restrained in a torture trap because they're deemed "illegal", to waking up almost daily to a president randomly having outbursts on social media and kidnapping presidents, to billionaires EATING children. I'm sick.

About a month or two ago, I deleted most of my politic posts online, I archived a lot, I unfollowed some people, and tried to change my algorithm to see less evil. I felt horrible doing that, cause I know some people depend on me speaking up for them and being there for them, but the anxiety I've felt has been so overwhelming, I just needed to see something beautiful or something nice to not lose all my faith in humanity. After taking some time offline, I feel more able to not look away anymore. It's a privilege to be able to log off and just "live normal", to decide what you want to see and what you want to "ignore". That's a privilege so many people don't have, and it breaks my heart.

My friend (little brother) in Gaza is still to this day living in a tent. It's unsafe for him and his family to go back to the area where he lived, and even when they can go back, his apartment is in ruins now - he went there to check some time ago, it's all destroyed.

My heart breaks for every single person going thru a hard time, living in a geno--de, war, starving, being hunted down by ICE because of their last name, accent or brown skin, people being torn away from their families. I'm so sorry, I wish I could heal the world, and throw out the garbage..

I have friends in Ukraine right now so I can relate. Sleeping in underground train stations is not a lifestyle choice.

I feel like every country who brings war to another country should see war in their own country. It feels too easy to send our military thousands of miles away to ruin someone else's country while we all trouble ourselves with what's on TV and what to wear to go to the store. It's too easy to legitimise the misery of millions based on the actions of the relative few in power and even the millions who might support them. It's rare that little children have a fervent hatred of anyone unless they're indoctrinated and they don't deserve to be terrified. War should be a last resort and should not be spoken about in bombastic, prideful terms. It should be thoroughly regrettable to all concerned.
People allow these atrocities to continue without accountability because they're brainwashed. Even in the age of (mis)information we let propaganda and tribalism to shape our views on humanity and willingly fuel worldwide suffering and death.

It hurts to not only know that these things happen but also to turn around and be told by our neighbors and family that it is a good thing.

And we're not even the ones going through it firsthand. 💔

Just remember to take care of yourself, too, Cassie. You are sensitive and I don't want you getting overwhelmed again. It's good that you get involved but it's also important to allow yourself some healthy space.

It will swing back. In time.

Those horrid authoritarians and wealthy should probably read about the French Revolution. If pushed too far, the downtrodden might visit horrors upon them in the counter swing of the pendulum.
