      Sure, but it’s ever dwindling in the face of Capitalism that constantly has to turn everything into a commodity; including time itself (in a sense). Your time is a commodity too. You exchange it for money that you use to survive. You get paid a fraction of your surplus value, maybe not enough to fulfill even basic necessities; forcing you to work more- taking up more of your time that is not sleep.

        Comrade, I tried not to answer this with a dumb comment, but I can’t stop thinking about it, and the most obvious way to answer it sounds either ignorant AF or condescending. I mean neither.

        Are you okay? Do you need to talk? I have a lot of love in my heart for the posters in these spaces, and I’m painfully aware those who may be hurting the most are the ones who never mention it.

        Hi comrade, I hope you are doing well. I want to give you a friendly hug. I know it’s little, but I want you to feel better.
