    I’ve been saying this forever, but, like, these people really need to go back and reread Chicken Little. They’re getting Fox News, getting scared, and reacting based off of what Fox is telling them, and not what the Chicken Little’s are telling them.

    The sky is not falling.

    Take a deep breath, calm the fuck down, and chill. Everything’s okay. As long as we stop freaking out.

      Except everything isn’t okay… Everything is actually really, really bad. Not for me personally, as a white cis man everything is fine. But for so many people the world is a bad and dangerous place right now, and that terrifies and stresses me the fuck out.

        But, and hear me out, if the people that were constantly freaking out and terrified all of the time were to chill a little bit, the world would improve dramatically, almost instantaneously.

        We are in a period of time where calmness is the most vital thing for our leaders and for the people.

        And if you can’t make it yourself, store bought is fine.

        There is no point in being scared and stressed for the sake of it. If you’re not channeling those emotions into real action, you’re really just better off chilling tf out until there is some real and immediate threat to stress about.

      reread Chicken Little

      If those people could read, they’d be … less upset, I guess.
