In German, there’s a word called Weltschmerz, which literally translates to “world pain” and describes a deep, existential sadness and hopelessness about the state of the world. It’s the only accurate label for how I feel today.

Send Scottish traffic cones.
Better tactics and defence.
Expected Goals, maybe slightly worse, however three 0-0s, might finally qualify for the next round.

Bir futbolcu, küçük kızın yüksek seste yapılan tezahüratten rahatsız olduğunu fark edip onun kulaklarını kapıyor ve kızın yüzünde paha biçilemez bir gülümseme beliriyor;
Yesterday an intolerant biddy moaned about my autistic loved one.
I was left with the impression that she’d rather disabled people were never seen or heard.
@draevans When I was at school there was at least one pupil in all of my classes that neither myself, other pupils, or teachers, knew had autism -me.
Until my diagnosis, all of my difficulties and sensory problems, especially my extremely limited diet, were dismissed, as my awkwardness
@RITB_ Of course "Labour " hate those of us, who are sick and disabled. Blair abolished the Department of Social Security, in 2001.
I noticed, Blair has returned this week, with yet another attack, on ADHD, and Autism, which are not mental illnesses.
Because people avoid the WORD - COVID like the plague instead of the VIRUS like the plague.
Triggers them deeply. So it’s got to be a “cold”! It just has to be!
@premnsikka Everything privatised, with the exception, of the "Royal" Family. Some people, also want everything "Reformed", with the exception, of the "Royal" Family.
@1goodtern The "illness" that must never be named. Mass COVID denial continues, with no end in sight.
I really dread to think, what it will take, for this collective denial, to end.
A former friend told me to “grow up and stop being so opinionated about Covid and stuff”
Here’s my reply….
The kids of today will never forgive us tomorrow.
We made sure their planet was polluted, viruses spread freely, and that nothing was more important than helping billionaires.
We threw away decency and community, and rewarded cowardice and hatred. Don’t ask, “how did this happen?”
We let it happen.
We are hypocrites who preach one thing and allow the exact opposite to rule the day.
We demonized expertise, science, and knowledge because inconvenient truths would have forced us to sacrifice and be uncomfortable, or have to change.
Kids today have a bad attitude? Don’t respect their elders? Why the hell should they?
When we’re gone they will be dealing with multiple crisis that we helped cultivate, and we backed up our lessons in fake morality and equality by doing nothing, and allowing the opposite to flourish.
Complacency and indifference for the sake of comfort is still unacceptable no matter how uncomfortable standing up and fighting back might feel.
We sold them out, for temporary comfort, and so that the losers with unlimited money could pad their egos, and reshape the world to benefit themselves.
We sold them out so we didn’t have to face the task of changing society to protect them from threats like Covid or massive wealth inequality.
We allowed bullshit to make sure that they and their kids will have to dodge widespread measles, and polio, and have never ending “flu seasons”.
We took every step to make life harder on them in the long run, and even as scientific evidence is piling up, showing the damage we are doing to them with Covid, and how we are wrecking their planet, we sit on our hands and do nothing.
We are hypocrites, and if this pisses you off, too bad.
Finding out Long Covid is the number one chronic childhood illness should be a wake up call but you don’t care, there’s a new episode of your favourite show on tonight, or your favourite sports team that doesn’t have a real impact on your life has a big game! WGAF
So keep pretending, keep allowing evil, inequality, hatred, and sickness to flourish, and stay distracted by meaningless crap, after all you won’t have to deal with the mess for too long anyway.
They will never forgive us for this.
@draevans Support??. I am now on a five month waiting list, just to be assessed, by the local mental health team.
In 2026, this is the "support", I am being offered.
