#faq:

I don't care if it's volunteering with a charity, political organizing, a sport, a hobby circle, or a church. Every. Single. Person ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW should be getting involved. You CANNOT be rooting for a better democracy without being involved directly. It has been proven that these third place activities are good for us and for our communities.

You cannot be relying on your one friend who does 5 things to do the work for you. As that friend: we are burnt out, we are tired, and we are not doing the same level of work as one person (even one with a chronic illness) could do because we are being spread too thin and it's making us flaky. I hate how much need I get approached with because "I'm a person who volunteers" and have to turn down because as a full time student, part time employee, who has already committed to 3 different organizations, I cannot physically do.

art for "Beans of various types" I feel like something bad is going to happen to me.

I feel like something bad has happened.

It hasn’t reached me yet, but it’s on its way.

And it’s getting closer.

And I don’t feel ready.

I feel like I can’t do anything.
