    Stories like these make me feel better about being over 70.

    At least I won’t be around for the worst of what is coming

      I’m 40 and I calm myself down by remembering that my time on earth is temporary, I’m not joking.

      The grandpa part is what worries me. Your children and their children will inherit this problem. You are the generation that has all the time and money and influence now. Maybe fight that shit if you still can.

      I am terrified for my children’s futures, for the children who aren’t mine, just the same.

      “Glad I won’t be there” how selfish.
