  • I think it’s generally agreed that repeated experiences are a good way of making time pass faster: your brain recognises a situation and says “I’m not needed here; I’ll fast-forward to something more challenging”. Binge TV you’ve already seen. When I was in your situation I listened to a lot of radio plays, audio books and podcast series.

    Do keep running and exercising. Can you ride a bike? Building up some familiar routes might help pass the time in a healthy way.

    I am sorry to hear that you’re feeling low. It’s the new epidemic. Hang in there and I do hope life gets more enjoyable in time.
















  • Different countries have different sources of information about candidates.

    I don’t live in the US but absorb quite a lot of political media from there. Number 1 rule is not to back Republicans, especially if you can’t find much information on them. There are Republicans up and down the ballot who are trying to implement a Christian Nationalist agenda, many of them on the down-low, and if you have no evidence either way it’s better to assume they are.

    Next step is to google/bing/ddg the ones you’re considering and see what you can dig up on them and their opinions. Do they have a history of unsavoury social media posts? Do they go to church? Who is their pastor? What do they stand for? Are they incumbent, or have they previously held office? What did they say / vote for before?

    Thank you for taking an interest in local and down-ballot races. Your participation is vital to keep fascists and lunatics out of school boards and sherrif’s offices.
