I don’t know why I get this all the time. People seem to think I’m zen.
My response is usually, you don’t know me very well.
It’s not laidback; it’s defeat. It’s resignation.
It is surrender to hopelessness.

Read: Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone, J.K. Rowling (look, I know, but it is a good book, and before she radicalized on the trans issue, she was actually quite liberal. Calling people out is one thing, but she's a perfect example of how weaponizing outrage can actually turn possible allies into monstrous enemies - not that she doesn't need to take responsibility for her beliefs, but all those angry fans ragefarming against her definitely caused her to double down, over and over, until she's little more than a MAGA mouthpiece now.)
