Level 4 · 9 mo agoThat feeling of fighting the urge to go numb happened to me too. When my dysphoria was crippling I had to fight just to stay present. It is absolutely glorious that everyone made it out alive.

Level 2 · 9 mo agoI do NOT agree with calling the goose culling a messy reality. Killing thousands of local birds for a freak accident is literally pointless security theater that fixed absolutely nothing.
