This essay is amazing! It’s exactly what I’ve been thinking lately. Sometimes I feel like we’re living in a circus and I’m the only one wanting to escape, but I’m glad there’s more and more awareness. Thank you for writing this🤍

This post made me realize we're living (digitally) in an apocalyptic world. We just gotta sit this shit out and wait to see what's on the other side. Hopefully we'll build back better but who the hell knows. These lil' gardens we have in our silos are all we've got to stay sane.

This essay is a salve. I wish I found it when I first joined shitstack then I may have got better 'content' (lol ironic?) ..no scratch that - I wish I found it before I decided to leave this hell-hole cosnis I think they're actually might be a little bit to be missing here 😕
