Today, I feel numb. Too numb to feel afraid of what's to follow. Too numb to feel sad. Too numb to feel angry.

I'm sure those emotions will come, but for now, I'm just numb.

Most people have thrown in the towel

Same.

ngamtnlivin.bsky.social•47 days ago

So am I and my gut hurts.

tracy44.bsky.social•47 days ago

That sums it up for me also

Right now, “anger is a gift.”

Ironic since he got his FREEDOM today.

walkerhilton.bsky.social•47 days ago

I am so sorry Parker. I just want you to know that you do belong and are valued. You are important to this world.

shesnarrating.bsky.social•47 days ago

I am right there with you. Every new thing I see today I'm just like "Ok, cool, I'm gonna go play more Love and Deepspace."

sbsb4.bsky.social•47 days ago

I wish i were numb. instead I feel slightly anxious and slightly nauseas. I have that feeling in my stomach that tells me to be hyper focused. not good.

einberner.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes. And yes.

katlarousse.bsky.social•47 days ago

I can't watch it. I'm going to bury myself in the things that need to be done in my life, and then maybe I will paint something. The numbness is an illusion. All those feelings are waiting for me, but I'm too damn tired to feel them.

donewithbullshit.bsky.social•47 days ago

Until then, here’s a stoat. Doing the same thing I am.

untamespirit.bsky.social•47 days ago

Already felt numb earlier today.

bfg008.bsky.social•47 days ago

That was me Nov. 5

darthburkie.bsky.social•47 days ago

I was numb after the election. Now I’m mad. Like Hulk-rage mad.

churlayla.bsky.social•47 days ago

Anger and resolve setting in.

angrycreamsicle.bsky.social•47 days ago

Ah, the 'numb' stage of the apocalypse bingo card. Don’t worry, Parker—anger, fear, and existential dread will be along shortly to complete the emotional buffet. Enjoy the quiet while it lasts.

neureka.bsky.social•47 days ago

I love John Lennon (I mean sorta, right…) but instant karma is such horseshit. painfully slow karma will slap them at some point though

yuweiquan.bsky.social•47 days ago

I’m so sorry, Parker. Hang in there. The numbness is *completely* understandable, even protective for the moment. And like you said, the emotions will come.

amandaford36.bsky.social•46 days ago

I feel you 💙. Been numb since November.

Love to you and yours Parker. Be kind to yourself and same to your community.

jessehawken.bsky.social•47 days ago

It’s gonna end badly for these fuckers. So there’s that

aklim95.bsky.social•47 days ago

How exactly, may I ask?

jessehawken.bsky.social•47 days ago

I don't have that answer for you.... yet

aklim95.bsky.social•47 days ago

I mean, end badly for them or for everyone on the planet except the rich American jackasses?

If it's the former, could it be from incompetence or from the fact that they're their own worst enemy?

jessehawken.bsky.social•47 days ago

It’ll be the former and it’ll be a combination of incompetence, internal treachery and a yet to be revealed X factor

horseknuckler.bsky.social•47 days ago

X, the everything app

morriganmd.bsky.social•47 days ago

Sometimes the numbness helps survive. Please be as gentle with yourself as you can.

livinginjeopardy.bsky.social•47 days ago

didn't think this would be my "political" anthem today but

herculinds.bsky.social•47 days ago

However we can support you, say the word.

t-arthur.bsky.social•47 days ago

The sane half of America is numb with you…

kerlsburgers.bsky.social•47 days ago

It's very difficult to function today.

democracyyea.bsky.social•47 days ago

I was numb until I saw Musk’s Nazi salute. Now I’m too angry for words.

alanlost73.bsky.social•47 days ago

I've been feeling unshirted anger today. 😠 I'm done with anyone who supports that gigantic orange slab of excrement.

myjah.bsky.social•47 days ago

Understandable. So sorry Parker. Hope you are okay.

justinlaurenzi.bsky.social•47 days ago

Feeling this too. Not hopelessness, really. Just "Ah fuck it, what’s the point of getting upset."

joeschlotterbeck.bsky.social•47 days ago

Consider yourself hugged. Hang tough. ✌️

norashepard.bsky.social•47 days ago

I'm feeling the same way, though my feelings do not compare to yours. I cannot imagine the dread. I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling so numb. But, like you said, I'm sure the emotions will hit me full force soon enough.
