Ní faighim eolas ó Fox News.
An bhfaigheann tú eolas ó CNN?
Nach bhfaigheann sé eolas ó an internet?
Sílim go bhfaigheann siad eolas ó bileoga agus (something)

Fuair mé eolas ó nuachtán.

Between California and Missouri I am tired and scared and tired of being tired and scared. Which is on an immediate survival level a bit silly because I don't live in California, our area is only slightly under average rainfall for the year and last year was actually considerably higher than average, and no one is rolling down my street in tanks shooting teargas and god knows what all else at me. And yet. This shit is happening in my country. (And god knows what the hell the people in California are thinking why are your lawns green. I remember droughts up here when I was a kid, we took some pretty extreme, sometimes very stinky measures, what the fuck you guys.)

So, yeah. This is my state of mind. Completely fucked.

(Apparently the media in Ferguson is exacerbating the situation. No, teargassing eight year olds is exacerbating the situation. Threatening to shoot journalists is exacerbating the situation. Running around like you're playing soldiers at war in a goddamn American town is exacerbating the situation. I don't have coherent words for this anymore.)

So, yeah. That's where my head's at. I've been struggling to go through routines all last week. Taking a media blackout for a day or so which, sadly, shouldn't be hard since it's not like the media's talking, accurately or not, about much of this.

And there's a volcano going on, and Russia, and the Koreas, and ebola, and and and.

Yeah, no, I gotta get off the internet and get something done that isn't exploding my mind right now. I literally almost panicked because California and no more fruit ever and. That's the state at which my brain is functioning right now. Or, well. Not functioning.
