      My date canceled on me at the last minute on Monday due to family drama stuff (that does match up with stuff she told me last week, to her credit) but I’m just really sad and lonely and wonder if I’ll ever actually get to see her, since we’re really vibing over text

      I feel selfish and guilty whining about it on the Internet to strangers on the communist weirdo hexagonal bear website, but also I am drinking Kraken with Sprite and smoking the Devil’s Lettuce and I just wanted to give her a big bear hug like I promised I would and that was cringe I shouldn’t have said that but now I’m posting it cringe

          I asked her if she liked The Shape of Water and she said it was one of her favorite movies, and then I referenced Galaxy Quest and she was all “are you trying to make me have a big crush on you” and you don’t pass on that shit

          Thanks for the support, you always come across to me as an incredibly nice person who spreads love around frequently

      Sometimes being lame makes you sad even if your new friends are so cool they don’t care you’re lame and like you anyway

      I don’t even know you and I like you, you’re named after the play starring the parrot from Aladdin

    I had nice dreams about being around tons of people at some kind of giant tropical “a bunch of people crash landed here and now they’re having a party like a liquor commercial” thing and there were people everywhere and it was great and then I woke up and obviously that is not the case. So I’m eating microwave pizza at midnight and seeing what I missed today in the wild world of shitposting. Feesbadman.jpg

    coworker opened up about some relationship issues they’re having and it felt shitty to hear. “i don’t want to die alone, man”. i’m not gonna go into specifics cuz issa smol community out here but i personally think they can get over it if they trust each other and are open to each other’s positions. but i’ve also been blessed with a chill relationship for so many years i feel guilty even trying to give advice.

    tl;im drunk: i just want folks to be happy :(

    Yeah I just have no desire to do anything. Lyme is kicking my ass, but it’s just exacerbating existing depression and anxiety. I don’t really have any ambition, my enthusiasm for even the few things I semi-enjoyed has been sapped, and I really feel alienated from everyone around me. It got so bad I literally had like a derealization episode. I felt like nothing was real and I was going to blink out of existence.

    I want to enjoy things and have actual friends but goddammit. It’s all pretty dumb considering people out there have real problems but holy fuck, I’ve backed myself into a mental corner. I feel like I’ve crossed the event horizon in my life and I’ll never escape now.

    Me deciding to work in climate adaptation: “Sure, things aren’t looking good but at least I can do something that makes a difference.”

    Me getting the requisite education: “Okay, the best time to act would have been two decades ago but there are still opportunities to avert the worst of the consequences.”

    Me working in climate adaptation: “Holy fuck we have zero idea of the hell we are unleashing upon ourselves.”

    Honestly hexbear is the best place I’ve found to commiserate because at least people are willing to acknowledge the existence and scope of the problem, but even here I try to keep the extent of my bleakness under some wraps because I don’t want to be that guy (even though I’d imagine I’m 90% that guy). And I’ve shouldered just a small fraction of the burden climate scientists must be feeling. If you see one, give 'em a hug because they probably need it. We’re in for a rough future and the ones who had the power to prevent it but chose not to are going to die safe and comfortable in their beds and that is a damn shame.

    Still feeling like I should’ve just become a musician or a hermit pottery gnome or something.
