Crap. Anxiety attack coming on.
My whole "my new political attitude is cynical apathy" thing lasted about two days. I'm not so good at not caring.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

{{{{{Hil}}}}} Is there anything we can do for you to help you through the anxiety attack?

Then I'd like to thank you for being kind human, Hil, and not a biased robot without free will/mind of her own.
Glad to hear the good news of some of you, and continuous health~ma to all who need it.

Thanks sj.
Mostly, I need to pull myself away from stressy stuff for a little while. But stressy stuff seems to be everywhere. I need to stop reading news sites so obsessively. There's very little I can do from over here, and borrowing trouble doesn't do anybody any good. (On the other hand, "it tolls for thee," and so on.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Continued healing~ma for Gordon. It sure was good to hear that he came through surgery ok. More peace~ma for you, Niki, and all who love Gordon.
Hil, I wish there were easy answers for anxiety attacks and for political issues. I'm trying hard to not give up hope in general.

Hil, pull yourself away from the computer for a while and do something relaxing if you can.

Generally, I'd go read a book. But the book that I'm reading right now is a murder mystery set in Munich in 1929. Not exactly relaxing. Also, I'm getting pretty stressed about teaching -- this semester is the first time I've been teaching a real math class by myself.

Also, I wanted to sign up for one of the MLK Day of Service things, but all of them were full by the time I got around to it. (My mother suggested using the day to clean my apartment, since the mess is making me more stressed, and since I'm part of the American people, doing something to help myself would still be in the spirit. I'm not quite buying the argument, but I think I might end up cleaning my apartment on Monday, anyway.)

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I support sj's offer.
As someone who's going through the "doing what I can do and needs to be done and the rest can be damned", I'm recommending it as well to others.
If we had to care for every other human being on earth, we wouldn't be able to take it all. So doing what you can and needs to be done, and taking care of yourself so it you would be able to do those things that needs to be done. C'est tout.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Oh, Hil. I'm sorry if my posting my link had anything to do with the political anxiety.
My deepest apologies, and feel-better~ma in abundance to you.
