I try to focus on my job (wildlife biologist) and local efforts, but it’s very hard to do honestly. I have a breakdown about every other week. Sadly the Trump admin is making it harder for me to do my job.

Attempting to ignore it and focus on the fact that if we’re gonna seriously fuck shit up then I can at least try to make current issues better

Got told to “touch grass” for posting about the epa potentially rescinding the endangerment finding, which is pretty ironic lol

But yeah I have no clue, the anxiety swells up and subsides for me, seemingly at random. Best we can do is try to prevent another trump admin from taking the helm and spread the word about the harm being caused in the meantime

I’m sorry to hear that, this regime has made life harder for so many people, myself included- just know your work is inspirational, valuable, and admirable, and I feel better knowing people like you are doing their jobs and pushing on :)
