I, for one, appreciate your sympathy.

This year has been a nightmare and we’ve got a long way to go.

Do what you can, where and when you can. Be a good example. That’s all we can do.

I’ve wrestled with this a lot. I had my first kid before I woke up, and my second after (unplanned).

All I can say is, try to raise the people the future needs. My oldest is already on her way to being a great human with a good compass and a big heart. My youngest, a boy, is gonna wash the goddamn dishes. They both will have a critical mind and my library to help.

Civilization is collapsing but the apocalypse isn’t that imminent. Life will go on, for most of us, one way or another. We should make sure its not full of characters from Idiocracy.
