Living in the UK is getting harder and scarier and flat out worse, day after day, election after election, headline after headline. And I know it's not just the UK, and I know it could be so much worse, but it really does feel like the floor could fall out from under me at any moment - hell, it already has more than once (wild time to be trans). I don't want to be a doomer about it and I know that a brighter future is possible, and worth doing the hard work to achieve, but it's getting harder to really feel and believe that. My mom turns 50 this year, and I can't bare to think of what things could be like when I hit that age. What are the rest of you doing to... keep yourselves feeling human, and okay? What are you doing to do some good for the people around you who really need it? Sorry this is such a bummer of a post, I just really need to know that better is still possible, that there's still hope worth fighting for.
