Trauma is nothing new for me. Before all this I’d been working through some past shit. But these current conditions have put everything on pause. I’m an artist but I don’t feel creative. Most days I’m just trying to get by. Going into this past weekend I was disheartened by so many things. In particular, the idiots protesting to “open up” the economy again, whatever that means. And a former married co-worker resurfaced out of the blue to proposition me (during a pandemic?) again so yeah, why not heap some weird vibes on top of my pandemic fatigue and burnout. And I didn’t even want to cook anymore, which is something I generally find therapeutic. Laundry? Forget about it. Right now I feel very little beyond exhaustion. But it will come. Later. And I do have an appointment with my therapist next month. She has been on maternity leave all year. I know I’m not alone on this roller coaster. This twitter thread sums it up perfectly.
Here are five better things:
- The Story Behind Every Track on Fetch the Bolt Cutters: Fiona Apple reached into the past to confront her rapist, middle-school bullies, and herself.
- Tom Hardy Gifting Us with a Week of Bedtime Stories (the week of April 27th). Thank you, Mr. Hardy.
- What We Do In The Shadows returns with horny ghosts and a pissed-off zombie. Just what I needed.
- Bluesmobile spotted in Milton Keynes playing feel-good tunes to ease strain of lockdown
- Memes of Chicago’s stern lesbian mayor are taking over the internet & she loves it
