Between November and now, I worked pretty diligently to create a wall around me to avoid these topics. Unfollowing, blocking, filtering.

Once the inauguration happened, I discovered that the concrete I used was faulty and full of holes. The black, fetid water of these lunatics seeped in from all directions.

Tech news, cultural news, arts, all possible other topics that I thought were safe within the walls I built are now covered with sludge.

I so tired of this shit. How did we let this happen?

How did it happen?

It can't be ignored forever.

Dude, I was up on the news and very diligent in many things.

You don’t know where I live, you don’t know what I’ve done up to November, nor where I’ve worked.

I spent literally the last few months of my entire fucking life trying to shut out this shit so it doesn’t tank my mental health to a degree that would likely kill me.

So please, spare me your fucking judgment.
