    I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re depressed because you’re terminally online

    Hey what public physical space can I go attend safely as a person with an autoimmune deficiency in The Year of Our Lord 2024, asking for a friend

    I am sorry to single you out specifically but the world sucks for a lot of people right now with no foreseeable end and it’s not just because everyone is too online

      And where you’re not easy prey for cisthumbs. I like exercise and trucks will just stop illegally in the middle of the street… with their driver’s dead eyeing you. Once a truck just followed me and my gf, like driving right behind us for blocks until we lost him. And I’ve been attacked enough to know where that goes, so we bought treadmills. Yay

      E: and we’re both immunocompromised so gyms were out the second covid hit

      I get that, I’m sorry. Still, it’s possible to be happy and being online too much doesn’t help, even if third spaces are dead etc. It’s not ideal, but one can exercise and meditate for free on your own, even if capitalism has greatly handicapped you. I’m trying not to victim blame, just hoping to do some people some good (pretty sure op doesn’t have an autoimmune disease).
