The only way I sleep at night is to realize I can only change what's in my immediate sphere of influence [I should vote, but I honestly don't feel comfortable voting for/against people nearly so much as voting for/against specific issues, and the issues I want to vote on never seem to be on the table] and to try to pass along what I can in advice/time/money/whatever to whomever I feel deserves it.
That said, here's
an example of that "
Women get it worse" thing I talked about before. [Like,
men don't get rape threats.] Sure, it's one troll in a million voices of sanity, but it's still vile and I don't know what else to do but shake my head and go back about my business.
Out of fairness, men prolly do get it just as bad at times, but it seems the more tragic for it to happen to women because men can do things to women that women can't do back to men [--Henry Rollins]. That's not me being reverse-sexist: It's just how we are as human beings.
I don't know how to tie this in better, but
this is the Christianity I believe in, not the bullshittery on all the political platforms. [I also heard it ONCE and it's stuck in my head, so I figured I'd share the earworm.]
I'm almost getting caught up on drawing to where I have a queue again, but watch that not happen 'cause I have an interview[!] on Monday[!!]. Which is kinda, "Heh? I've been through this already!" but I guess I gotta cut the unemployment cord at SOME point. With all these worries in the world, do I really need not having a job continuing to be one of them?
