This election is the stuff of nightmares. The perfect cap to a year of pandemic fuckery and general societal disruption. We’re all spent out and yet the hits just keep coming. The general closeness of this election is enough to make you want to scream and throat-punch a stranger. It’s like the world has gone fucking insane.
The worst part is that it’s almost completely unsurprising. We try and have hope but then it’s like reality comes to slap us like a strange dick in the face – very unwelcome. In the midst of a pandemic and all the associated negative effects on society, this election is just another shitty thing to add to the shitty pile. NO matter how it turns out this shit is far from over. Which is terrifying.
We laugh to keep us from crying, but this week we might just fuck around and do both. With the election anxiety at an all-time high and the world watching this dumpster fire with various levels of shock and disdain, we can do nothing but revel in the absurdity of it all and wonder what the fuck is gonna happen next.
If you’re wondering how folks are coping with this election anxiety, the answer is simple – no so well, bitch!

Go take a bath, or watch some kittens wrestle, or hug a tree.
Collective overwhelm is real, and shit isn’t getting any easier anytime soon. Find a bit of rest, because there’s always more fights to be had.
Take care of yourselves.
