Today I got low. I don’t even have the resources to go into it in any detail. Suffice to say that the perfect storm of nineteen hours without electricity, the pandemic meaning there was nowhere I could go and sit with power and maybe internet, and needing to throw out at least a week’s worth of SNAP-purchased groceries—I was having not just a psychological problem in the moment but also because the moment starkly reminded me of just how financially precarious and unstable I am and therehow how generally screwed is my entire future.
