Stop focusing on things you can't control. Fascists gonna fasc, you can't topple a regime singlehanded, but you can punch an ICE agent in the dick to save a neighbor.

It's the little things.

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•7 days ago

Heck yeah 🔥🔥🔥❤️

It's all in how you look at it, really...

When tiny problems crop up in my life, I tend to try to find humor in them. Humor always seems to bring some levity for me and allows me to feel the feels without letting those negative feels become the house I reside in.

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh definitely my game as well 😅😅😅🖤

There's a never ending firehose of sewage that is current events. I like to think that offering a teacup of anything else is a little respite.

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is so relatable and yes. This. This makes sense to me thank you 😅🖤

The suffering of others doesn't negate your own. Also, it's not a competition of who has it worse. I feel like being told others have it worse is just another way to "other" people with divisive language.

I allow myself to feel for the outside world and myself. It’s ok to do both. We all have things going on and one is not more or less then the other. All feelings and issues are valid. 🥰

blaque-natas.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't have feelings......

faithofthefeathers.bsky.social•5 days ago

Staaaaaapppppp 😂

A problem is a problem when it is a problem. Everyone has theirs. Comparing and contrasting does nothing to fix or heal. So I compartmentalize. I literally avoid the news when I am having a hard time with something because now I have TWO problems.

bugghoti.bsky.social•7 days ago

Most of the time, there's not much I can do about others suffering, but I am even less useful if I amplify my problems by taking on the world's at the same time.

That said, if I CAN help on the local or personal level, I can dive in regardless of my problems, and they shrink, at least for a time.

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•6 days ago

This makes sense. I have the filters for news: my sister, my best friend, and my partner lol then if something sounds interesting (usually bad at the moment!) I'll go research to keep informed. And my witches here. They are a great filter.

If you can't feel sympathy for yourself, heal, and let yourself feel, how can you do it for the rest of the world?

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeeesssssss 💯💯💯

I lie in bed while everyone is asleep and I try to process everything that’s happening and sort out what I can control today and try to leave the rest behind. And I scream lyrics in the car and I cry whenever I want to and I talk to myself like I do my dogs, with compassion and patience and hope.

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is beautiful advice. Thank you ❤️

biblebeltheathen.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’ve learned a lot the hard way! We are all cracking under the pressure, so there is no right way or wrong way to deal with what you’re feeling. Minor inconveniences are easier to talk about than the world being on fire. We’ll get through this. ✨

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•6 days ago

So real 💯💯❤️❤️❤️

davethedemented.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is your little space you have to say whatever you want to. If that needs to be venting so you don't explode, then so be it. Yes other people may have bigger problems but your problems are valid for you.

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•6 days ago

Thank yoooouuuuuuuu ❤️❤️❤️❤️

mydaemonisabadger.bsky.social•7 days ago

The existence of "worse" problems doesn't negate your own. It's not like there's one person who has it worst of everyone on earth, and they're the only one allowed to complain about their problems. We still have to live our lives and deal with what's in front of us 💜💜💜

theswampwytch.bsky.social•6 days ago

THIS!!! Well said!

mydaemonisabadger.bsky.social•6 days ago

Thank you 😍💜

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•7 days ago

I'm pinning this so I can come back and read it over and over 😅 You are so right ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 📌

mydaemonisabadger.bsky.social•7 days ago

🫂💜 I'm glad it spoke to you 🥰

2/2 but remember we all have our own reality tunnels, and while it might seem stupid to one person’s could really bother another. People need to understand and be kind and remember that values of hospitality and respect :)

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•6 days ago

I used to have specific business only on social media but this is my first account that I've really just let way more loose. It's actually pretty healing. 😅 I think I've cultivated this space of really lovely people but I've also blocked A Lot and use that button without abandon 😅

winterlady1.bsky.social•5 days ago

Curating your feed so it suits YOU is the best gift Bluesky has ever given. Keep that block function going!!

rissy.ca•6 days ago

Hahah fair enough. I’m very picky on who I follow, as it’s just too much politics right now :)

rissy.ca•7 days ago

Honestly I keep most ( as much as I can anyways) of my personal thoughts on topics off all social media. Or I write it in such a way to not “cause trouble” because social media is so volatile now and it really bothers me. 1/2

All experiences are valid!

One does not nullify the other?

This is *your* space. You curated this version of the Universe. Problems aren’t good or bad, big or small. They are just obstacles along the path to telling our story. Your struggles are just as valid & worthy of being seen as anyone else’s are! I love you 💚

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•7 days ago

You are such a positive FORCE in this world. I love you too 🔥❤️

xrobnx.bsky.social•7 days ago

You know what, I am. Thank you for seeing that 🫶🏻

I’m like a single drop in the water cycle, slowly carving a Grand Canyon of joy into the desert of chaos called life.

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•6 days ago

Absolutely 💯💯💯💯❤️❤️

becido.bsky.social•6 days ago

Your problems are just as important as everyone else's because you are the only one who has to deal with them. Personally, we don't really have a choice when the world is falling apart. That's why we have to think about ourselves and our loved ones first. 🫂

gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social•5 days ago

So true, so true. 🖤🖤🖤
