Christmas feels different to me this year. Is it just me? How does today feel to you?

Nope. The world is on fire, society is going to hell in a handbasket, and I miss my mom.

No. Fascism is on the rise, my livelihood is literally in danger. I’m spending these days preparing for the worst, so when people try to talk to me about joy and family, it comes off as somewhere between tone-deaf and gaslighting

It’s both on the rise and now acceptable.

My brown family that started families with other brown people talked about the facism the entire time.

My brown family that started family with white people all believe that facism isn’t a thing.

The future is not good

Careful outing yourself as a brown family, this apparently means you’re illegal and need to be turned into immigration authorities in coastal Oregon.

It was intentional in my part; fuck los pinches gringos

I say this because the brown familiares que casaron son gringos y les merecenen que les votaran.

And I mean this; we are sliding into facism solamenta por los pendejos y ellos son las pendejos en esa situation and I’m sick and tired of being of being the future Americans who don’t understand. Coje les pendejos, nunce les voy a visitar.

With AI that could literally be anything now. Or they could be LGBTQ. Or black. Or a woman.

The kids are over the moon with their gifts. Ma’s in her bath tub and I’m in my cups. And I’m about to settle in for a long evening of Nethack. So ya, I’m feeling pretty good for Christmas evening.

I hope everyone here who is feeling down finds something in the new year to make them happy.

No, it’s weird. It’s like the magic of it is gone this year. I want to be jolly, and indulge, but I can not. I bust my ass off all year, i look forward to this is on time of year where I always have said fuck work, and responsibilities from Dec 20th to about Jan 3rd. But this year is just hollow. Like a depression came apon me. Like taking a bite of a chocolate bar anticipating thar sweetness, only to have no flavor, just mouth feel.

Yeah same here. I didn’t even bother putting out Christmas lights this year even though we made a bunch of custom decorations a few years back.
