Also, thanks to my continued #covid19 precautions, like wearing an N95, I feel more prepared for a #BirdFlu #pandemic, and I've gotten used to making my own amusements—I go #hiking and #crafting for fun, and I don't eat out so much. I've also gotten in the mindset of protecting the most vulnerable in my community from #covid.

I think those changes will continue to be relevant and needed for whatever is coming in #USPolitics and the #USEconomy. I suspect us #CovidCautious folks are more prepared for what's coming than the people living like it's 2019. We've started building networks like mask blocks and clean air clubs. We know no one is coming to save us, so we have to build community and rely on each other.

#AnotherWorldIsPossible. It's already here in little, hidden pockets of the world. I just wish watching the old one burn didn't hurt so much.

I'm scared about the #USEconomy now that #tariffs are in place and #Trump is threatening more.

I'm trying to remind myself that in the early days of the on-going #covid19 #pandemic, I learned skills that will help me now: I can bake bread with or without yeast from nearly any flour, I can pickle vegetables and blanch and freeze others, and I can make jam.

Thanks to cosplay, I learned how to #sew. Recently, thanks to #kink, I know a little bit about rope, and I have several items that could technically be used as weapons (though most of my training is about how not to seriously injure or harm people with them).

Like me, you probably know more than you think you do. You probably have more skills than you realize. And it's going to take all of us, pulling our skills and knowledge together, to survive what's coming.

I wish we didn't have to be #resilient. But we can be, and there's #hope in that.
