On the one hand, things aren't as bad as all that... yet. But they are coming, with absolute certainty.

Maybe take a walk outside? Enjoy it as much as you possibly can, just that once... repeat as often as desired, for one week (one month?).

Then start thinking about coping strategies. Some people may want to hide their particular identities (~~get~~ a beard - aheam I totally meant "grow" there, yeah sure), others may want to carry their passport with them at all times - and not in a place easily grabbed during a "robbery" (someone who might get off on sending someone legal out of the country by making it appear as if they were illegal).

But statistically speaking, for right this moment most people are safe? Again, for now... though this will not hold true for too much longer. And thus your anxiety: it is hard to stay ready for something when there is nothing you can DO about it. You can't fight, you seem to have decided not to flee (in the short term), hence you feel stuck. If it helps, we all die, and that's outside of our control. Decide how you want to live, from here on out, and then stick with that. Do whatever you have to in order to make that happen. It might mean leaving, or moving to stay with others than your family. It is hard to deal with so much at once but that is the path set before us now.

And do me a favor? Please be kind to yourself in the meantime while you figure all of this out 🥰. It takes a fucking minute to process all this, you know?

Maybe YOU are...

(and also so am I:-)

"yes"

(also basketball)

Naw, sounds like ~~too much~~ ~~too little~~ just the right amount of effort.

Perhaps

That's okay - there are none that would offer it for this abomination! :-P

I-I-I think I've seen this meme before, maybe a dozen, maybe a hundred times? It's impossible to tell!?

I find it anatomically incorrect.

The stick should go waaaay up in there, rather than him balancing on top of it as shown here.

Unless it's... both? In which case, absolutely approved!:-)

Are you so certain that you want to know?! 🤪

G-g-glory to you, and your house!

Not "constant" no... more like occasionally it opens and lets it out.
