This but actually. 2016 was a massively eye-opening year for me, particularly with the US Democratic primary pulling back the curtain on politics in this country. It's just been a big nightmare ever since, and any reprieve that might have been felt from Biden unseating Trump was overshadowed by the pandemic and then, you know, where we're at now.
I would like to get on a different ride please.
Is this going to be one of those cultural things like the Great Depression or the Blitz where decades later it’s just understood to be a point of cultural trauma?
I'm pretty sure it will be. A worryingly high proportion of my friends and family's kids who were teenagers during lockdown have mental health problems (anxiety is very common) and, here in the UK mental health services are currently under unprecedented pressure. Granted it has hit older generations (I'm still not sure about younger children, my niece and nephew are OK and seem to have been happy to just not go to school as much) but in a more scattershot manner where there is a whole generation scarred by this and I don't know how it'll play out with the background noise of the climate crisis and culture wars.
the new year doesn’t actually start until you go to sleep. it’s still 2024 for me and my plan is to hold onto that for as long as possible.
Amphetamines for all!
