To be honest, that there was any win at all is pretty shocking.
Not really. "Temporary" blocks are pretty common. Wake me up when they're permanent.
Many of the delays in Trumps cases were also temporary blocks. Every monkey wrench in the facist machine helps.
True, it's just difficult to celebrate.
Thank you for not falling into inescapable despair this day. Be well. We're all struggling in some way right now. Take care of yourself and those around you as well as you can in these times. Disengage when you need to recharge. Just don't give up.
Despair is an often maligned experience to be erased and eradicated in modern society, but don't fear despair.
Fear the people who are skilled at convincing you any length of life spent fleeing from your negative emotions is a preferable substitute to processing, embodying and grieving with those negative existential emotions and letting them lead you into radical action to save and protect your loved ones NOW.
Fall into despair, now is the time. Despair is the threshold to coming to peace with the fact that there is a good chance you don't have a future, just this small time left.
Despair is the only thing that can get you to understand how frighteningly unstoppable you are when you realize there is no reason not to fight with absolutely everything you have for a better future NOW. In this moment despair makes you radically free in a way positive emotions can hardly do.
Nothing to celebrate, but it's good to look around and see other's digging in.
