There is no emoji that captures what I mean by :P (I do NOT mean “hur hur goofy-ass face!”) and the one for :^/ is not great. And lest we forget, 🤷🏻♀️ is absolutely inadequate compared to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Faces no emoji has ever managed to capture, imo:

The calm suffering. My face is raining. Total devastation despite absolute stoicism. Ruination.
sending love out tonight to everyone who is progressively losing their abilities, whether that’s movement, ability to walk, eyesight, or hearing.
it’s hard to come to terms with the fact that you can’t do things that you used to be able to do. I’ll be honest, it feels like you’re losing control of your life. it can feel very isolating and hopeless. its scary and overwhelming, and it’s so hard to deal with.
you are not less than just because you can do less. im proud of you for still being here, and i wish you ease with adjusting to new ways of life. please take care of yourself, i love you.
gentle addition for the folks who are losing their mental capacity in any way, shape, or form. If you can’t think as clearly as you used to, if you don’t have the executive functioning you once had, if your memory is getting worse, if your sensory processing issues are increasing, if your episodes are becoming more frequent. Your life has inherent value and I hope I can help remind you of that.

Last week I finished an essay on how capitalism has affected architecture, and one of the arguments (about how capitalism kills creativity) ended with “I wouldn’t be surprised if houses were being designed by AI by next week” and do you want to GUESS what I just read an article about???
“Ooh people don’t seem to like living in and being surrounded by cheap white cubes but don’t worry! We figured out how to make AI “design” (it’s theft) “pretty” (random) ornaments that we can 3D print and stick on the walls so now we can finally have beautiful houses again! What’s that? Hire an architect? We can’t do that! That would cost money!”
