I too garden and then can, pickle or dry the produce. Seed saving too. It’s so gratifying growing produce from your own seeds.
But I also began reading the Bible along with a commentary a yr or so ago. Just finished last week and now began again but this time reading a history of Christianity with the Bible. I’ve also decided to get back into my love of ancient history and am reading the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. It seems fitting to read it at this time.
Just start doing the things which brought you joy and place your worries in God’s hands. It makes life a lot better.
I've started a daily diary for the first time. I'm happy I'm recording my daily thoughts. We should all do it and then publish a big book. This way we all get a modest revenue stream coming in for all our selfless dedication. Food for thought.
I started off and on back in the 70s. My "big book" has daily entries of one kind or another all the way back to the day I was born. I mainly did it in case I ever got famous. :)
That was some good planning. Congratulations on being so loyal to you diary entries. We might have to edit some. Your longevity might make you a good person to include.
Now I was born a long time before the 70s, but I have been able to get exact dates for a good number of events. Some are weather related, and I have complete weather records for my location that I ordered from the National Climate Center in Asheville many years ago. For example, I remember details from Hurricane Donna in 1960, but the weather records tell me the exact dates and conditions. I remember an especially cold day in February 1958, and the weather records told me the exact date and that a record was broken that has never since been surpassed.
I tend to things because they need tending to. I am perfectly sane and expect to stay that way. Keep prepping, stocking up, and stacking. We're expecting a colder than normal winter and perhaps a lot more snow here in the South.
In many parts of the US, you can expect a colder than usual winter. In parts of the South, the Old Farmer's Almanac predicts a lot of snow. The persimmon seeds also predict a lot of snow in those same areas.
Prep your house for a cold winter by sealing cracks, getting an alternative heat source or two, stocking up on food and water, etc.
I wish I could get a large sack of seeds so that I could sow the roadsides of my area. There would be lots of weed, but no one would know where it came from. Then if some showed up in my back yard, I could just claim ignorance. :)
No room inside. And now they're monitoring your electrical usage, so if there's a spike, they come to visit. Of course, if we get to the point of no law, then no one will know what I grow in my back yard.
What can you reasonably try and accomplish outside your immediate area?
Exactly. Let it burn. Tend to your communities. But all this hyper focus on these contrived and mostly made up events is designed to put you under the fear mechanism so you remain passive.
I just watched a YouTube video on the channel Appalachia's Homestead with Patara where she says nuclear attack should be the last thing we worry about.
But working in the garden causes heart issues! https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/19059935/urgent-warning-gardeners-soil-increases-risk-killer/ 🙄🙄🙄

I also have Asperger's, so I'm super detail oriented. In one of my past lives, I inspected million dollar yachts at the factory.
Someone exploited your gift well.
I only worked there a few years, but I still think of them once a month when my little partial pension check arrives in my account. :)
This is totally me right now.
Same since I realized the tanks weren't rolling through the streets after Biden "assumed power".

My veggie and cannabis gardens are doing excellent!

Just grow indoors. That's what most people do, myself included.

Ignore it. Live your life and be happy.
