I don't remember a single thing I did this week. Work and bite my nails, I guess.
I was gonna say I've never even heard of a local protest but I actually found one through Lemmy. There's a single post buried in the subreddit naming the organizer and it's a suspended account. I've seen three or four different start times and two different addresses. It's at the capital building, how many of those do they think we have?
Is this how it's normally done? Is this worth losing my job for? I don't want to be a coward but I don't want to lose my home and have it turn out this was a prank.
Pick and choose your battles, love. This is a long road. You don't have to physically be present for every battle.
This is great advice. Good people can often stretch themselves too thin trying to fight the tide of horror. Self care is important. If you burn out it helps nobody.
Paint your nails so you'll stop biting them ๐ (worked for me anyway)
Thanks! Unfortunately I tried it in the past and it didn't work for me. And things that do work just lead to me picking/chewing elsewhere. I probably need to deal with the anxiety itself rather than the symptoms.
I used to bite my nails down to the quick and was finally able to break the habit in my 20's by starting to keep a pair of fingernail clippers at the computer desk. Anytime I caught myself starting to nibble I'd do a quick trim so there was nothing to nibble. The bad habit (that I'd had for MANY years) very quickly went away.
