Very bad. Haven't been able to focus on work since late Tuesday. My last meeting I said, "it's been great, I haven't looked at the news in two days." Less than an hour later, I looked... Ugh. Fortunately, I've been around this block before and have learned not to make it into a downward spiral. For example, my SO and I went blueberry picking today. Haven't looked at the Twitter yet. The planet is in a bad place right now. I think it's a mistake to ignore that. However, as long as we're breathing, there's still hope. And hopefully, some signal of progress will give people like myself the motivation to continue pursuing what matters to me. But, long-term personal goals seem irrelevant while distrust and discrimination are fracturing our society and leading to violence. In other words, we're regressing in Maslow's hierarchy. Until then, what matters to me is knowing that at least someone is acknowledging the sad state of the planet and thinking how we might improve it. Edit: to be clear, that "very bad" is relative to my incredibly privileged existence, as that's how I interpreted the question.
