I'm sure there will be no long-term consequences to all of us veering between hypervigilance over potential nuclear war and trying to go to work because none of us can afford to pay our bills and may still be trying to recover from health consequences from the pandemic we're pretending didn't happen

I'm getting a lot of people correcting me on my wording of the pandemic part because I didn't say "still happening" but I would argue that pretending it never happened also inherently implies it could not still be happening. We're not just acting like it's over. We're acting like it never was.

We had a mass casualty event and even if it HAD literally ended and we all just went back to normal like we have? That would be fucking unhinged. But as someone who almost died from long covid, yeah, I also don't love we're ALSO pretending it isn't still happening!
