The thing about knitting is it’s much harder to fear the existential futility of all your actions while you’re doing it.

Like ok, sure, sometimes it’s hard to believe you’ve made any positive impact on the world. But it’s pretty easy to believe you’ve made a sock. Look at it. There it is. Put it on, now your foot’s warm.

Checkmate, nihilism.

This is a powerful positive message..

I’m literally reading a book right now (Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski) that says this is scientifically sound.

There have been studies done on rats and dogs where they develop learned helplessness in the animals by giving them impossible tasks. Eventually the animals stop trying, even when the task stops being impossible. (I.e. put a rat in a maze with cheese it can’t get to until it develops learned helplessness, then put the cheese somewhere it can get to it and it won’t even try.) But once they show the animals they CAN do something - i.e. physically moving the rat to the cheese - the learned helplessness goes away.

No one can move you to your cheese for you, but the book says DOING something - which they define as “anything that isn’t nothing” can help. Make a food. Work in the garden. Clean a thing. Do a favor for a friend. Call your elected officials.

Knit a sock.

If you feel overwhelmed by existential despair, do something. It doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be anything that isn’t nothing.

prompt: a lot of angels and demons working in the Earth office building watches Game of Thrones. The demons want the Night King or Cescei to win, the angels are mostly Starks fans.

The problem happens when suddenly there is an Armageddon approaching and the last season still didn’t air. Both demons and angles are like - we cannot let the Apocalypse happen until we know how it all ends, can we?! And they all start to subtly sabotaging Armageddon like losing the forms to summon the horsemen or: A hellhound? No, we can’t send any this months, all are ill…

good omens go prompt game of thrones then they would slowly rebel against the idea of the armageddon aziraphale and crowley would probably remain oblivious as usual
