For me, the most pressing issue of these times is how to avoid nihilism, build community, love people. I know it sounds woo woo but I’m frankly out of other ideas.

@skinnylatte a few black friends, who’re used to this sort of capricious evil, demonization, & violence / abuse, say community and mutual support has been their way for more than a century.

What we’re in now is, from that lens, ‘same shit, different day’. Which served as a hella eye-opener for this white guy.

@cascheranno @skinnylatte right there with you on all of this, coming to grips with it and trying to learn from folks who have had to exist this way forever
