#apropos of nothing, people who don't care about a dystopian future are called #Ohwellians
(*am a borderline #ohwellian by now)
#related I had that hung on my desk at the time because back then we thought *that year* is bad   (*re the #orwell #orwellian)
@Heliograph i remember those years after Bowie where we thought how bad it all is, but now in comparison i actually shudder of what is still only coming 
@Irisherself yes strapping in as we socmed >.<
@Heliograph did I miss something? Was 2017 bad?
@mativity the orange blob had just been voted in, first round
@Heliograph yeah, but the US still retained some controls in place back then. And I had family issues to deal with. Just in retrospect, it all seems mild. Most people I knew still appeared reasonable and sane.
@mativity @Heliograph My divorce was pretty brutal but hardly a world shaking event 🤷‍♀️
@amro 😆😂 Bowie's departure defo didn't help either   @mativity
@Heliograph
It's been bad ever since that jackass went down the escalator
@Heliograph
It's not that I don't care. It's more a loss of the believe that there is anything I can do about it that makes me go #ohwellian.
Which doesn't mean I'm not still fighting, btw.
@sonyablanck
@Schattenente guess the full description would be *not care anymore, or to an increasingly lesser degree
