The situation is too much. I feel helpless. I cannot even imagine the suffering of disabled and wounded people in Gazan hospitals cut off from electricity and water. I’m recovering from a surgery myself and it’s difficult with water access and it would probably just get infected and take me out if I had no water.

I’ve been using Lemmy a lot during the recovery as my body’s weakness affects the skull organ as well, making me function barely if even (thrown trash into sink without realizing, going out to buy something I need only to be completely unable to remember what, waking up from pain and so on). I think I want to pick up a hobby and I figured video editing. I know I won’t make it as a content creator, but at least I can kill time and have the 0,00…01% chance of perhaps no longer needing to work for corpos, so I don’t have to prepare for libs rejoicing in genocide of brown people while patting self on the back for being so progressive by it. I just downloaded two open source video editors and will see if I can muster the strength to record sth to edit, or if I even have enough storage to actually do this. I wanted to watch tube in peace, but every video is jokes about homosexuals, homeless and China and I’m tired. Some videos about MineCraft were straight up advertising Christian youth camps in the middle. I don’t like this. So I guess I’m gonna spend my life listening to my own voice, unless I give up one hour in or sth.

Anyone else picking up new hobbies?
