      I’ve had nightmares about our kids falling down the depression spiral; I can’t fault anyone for a raging case of what-the-everlasting-fuck when they look at the world and read the news, but fight. fight on. “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

          I wish I had tips and tricks. Nothing replaces being there in your kids’ lives, but of course, that’s not really actionable more than holistic.

          I feel bad because our kids are going to inherit an exceptional shit sandwich and the only way for the species to make it is if a lot of them see past the culture wars and hate and focus on unifying against a worldwide threat as ecosystems collapse and we all choke on the effluence the vroom-vroom crowd insist we accommodate. I love giving them good news, but also want them to be aware <gesticulates at the hellscape>

      I can’t even imagine losing one of my children, let alone two. Horrific tragedy.
