I try to work, and I keep thinking of World War III I try to talk to girls and I keep thinking of World War III
The goddamned six o’clock news makes sure I keep thinking of World War III
I got a mile of numbers and a ton of stats
Of warheads
A billion Chinese with warheads
I don’t even worry about crime any more
So many goddamned scared faces
I keep thinking of Russia, of Russia
Paranoid, stuck on overdrive
Paranoid, scared shitless

Minutemen, 1985

Russia invaded Ukraine yesterday. I haven’t even read the news about it yet. I feel unstabilized: my heart beats fast, my stomach clenches, my breath quickens.

I am going about my normal things. I don’t know when I will read about it in depth. Violence, and especially war, make me literally sick.

Welcome to my first post of nightmare timeline. It is where we are living.
