For my American friends, please just open your games, play and persist. Pixel dolls have gotten us through a lot, they're gonna have to keep getting us through it cause it's only day one ❤️🩹

I love music, let’s start blasting [redacted]. Really pop off, you know? Bury our troubles. Purge our energy, if you will. Maybe we can even murder those who oppress us. With love that is.
And in the first little bit of his presidency he's going to amend 22nd amendment and ratify him and lift the length of the presidential term. Or effectively extended if something like that happens if whisperings of that happen and needs to be more than games.
He already has the majority.
Agreed. I’ve decided to stay away from Facebook as of today after watching all the bickering between friends. I’m downright depressed today. May need an after work nap then some self care in the form of my games for the evening.
It's so important to take care of yourself and your mental health. Yes we are in a time that we all need to fight, but sometimes you need to block it all out for a day or two and just exist
There's so much living we should all do and a lot of people need to hear that cause many are hopeless and are taking their own lives. Given that would fight be all you would say to those people too?
Video games don't really encourage healthy social interaction (unless you are in person). Getting outside or exercising is much better for you mental health.
I would like nothing more than to check out and play video games too. But we don't really have a choice
not everyone has the energy for that. I'm not going to tell someone who is in a depression spiral to drop the one thing that's keeping them from ending their own lives. If you can get out and exercise and that makes you feel better, do that. If it's animal crossing instead do that.
Now is not the time to get indignant and judge the people who are holding on by a thread. Give those people grace, so they can get themselves to a position where fighting and not just surrviving and persisting is something they can handle.
You can become more informed without letting it completely consume you. It concerns me that some of these comments are just “fight, fight, fight.” Yes, fight. But LIVE. Enjoy life. Don’t let them take everything away.
Not only your American friends.. but your friends of America. At 67 years old I CAN chill n game for four years, with hope for improvement at the midterms..
Don't forget local elections too. People overlook how much better they can make things in their own cities and communities by voting out those who can only aid in making things worse.
Play games, read some books, watch some shows. Yes everyone, it’s going to get worse before it gets better but always remember this: you can never lose if you never give up hope for a better tomorrow.
Stay strong friends, we’re all here with you on this.
Y'all don't seem to understand that it is DAY ONE of another of this man's terms and many have been fighting for YEARS and are losing heart. Those people need to be told it's OK to retreat, refresh, and protect their hearts if they need to otherwise they won't be able to continue fighting
We can’t spend all of our time playing games, but we do need to take care of ourselves. There needs to be a balance because just fighting will hurt your own well-being and that of those who love you. This is a long fight and we have to work together.
There is no need to "fight" back friend. The oppressors design their own demise. Eventually, people will get sick and tired and a seemingly innocuous event can bring the whole system to its knees.
If that’s how you feel then, and I promise I’m saying this with kindness, it shouldn’t bother you if people are using escapism to temporarily self-soothe 💛
Got plenty more movies to watch! Just recently watched Quiet Place: Day One and I didn't expect to be emotional to some of the scenes. Gone loving the movie despite the criticisms and play a bit more of Alan Wake 2 for the night.
I'm trying but one day? I have to interact with these nazi fucks on the daily I don't think I can do it for, four more years literal nazis yelling about how they want Mexicans dead and the "Deep State" dead. I hate this country we need a revolution this isn't America anymore.
as a black woman, I understand. It's going to be rough, I cannot give you sweet words of affirmation that everything is going to be OK because sadly I have no idea if it will be. All I can offer is support that not everyone has lost their heart and we should take solace in that if nothing else 😞
This was beautifully said. We do need to fight. But we also need to find joy and passion. This only works if we don’t become so riddled with anger that it seeps away all good.
Absolutely. Sadly, there are already people who have lost so much hope over this they have taken their own lives. I don't want anyone to despair that deeply they see that as the only option they have left. It's OK to retreat for a bit into something that helps you persist if that's what you need
I completely agree. We have so many vulnerable people who need to see more than just the bad and distressing. That includes me. I love seeing posts like yours. They give me hope and make me feel less alone. There is still beauty and joy and wonderful kinds of art and hobbies to enjoy. 💛
Yes, people should do this, but also people are going to have a rough time, so if some escapism helps them through it then yes they absolutely should do that too. Times are about to get rough, maintaining a good mental health is important or no other good work can get done

Kill them. Straight up kill them.
With kindness of course.

A single spark can start a Prairie fire.
Maybe I can hold out just for a little while.
Silence makes you complicit.
And please do it safely.
