So, I haven't been talking about this, because I didn't want to add more fuel to the fire, but fuck all of this.
For the last week, Fox News and the unhinged right have been attacking my friend Nina since she's been appointed to the head of Biden's Disinformation Board.
And it's been fucking unhinged and brutal. And their goal in doing so is very clear:
Everyone has been piling on because Nina - and I swear to fucking god, this is what has them so riled up - makes TikToks, is Ukrainian, and is an expert on fucking disinformation and online harassment.
My doctor and I were discussing my anxiety and she said "Brains are made to keep us alive. They're not made to keep us happy." And I can't stop thinking about that.
She also had me answer the questionnaire about anxiety and one of the questions was "How often do you worry about the future" and I just started laughing maniacally and she said "okay I'm going to put down 'everyday'"
My doctor said that people with anxiety have a super sensitive threat scanner. It creates "what could go wrong images" in our heads. "It's designed to keep you alive. It's like a superpower. You just need to learn how to control it."
HE DEMANDED HIS REPLY BE PRINTED IN FULL, IT IS LIKE CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY.
HE INCLUDED VISUAL AIDS.
I need to be clear, I have no idea what he's talking about. I think he's trying to say that art is subjective? But he's objectively saying what is and isn't art. Or something. Anyway. IT GOES ON.
