The Goblin of strange and uncertain times

Blindboy shares his experience of streaming on Twitch every night to raise money for a charity supporting people in direct provision. He engaged with viewers while creating a relaxed space for conversation.

Blindboy discusses the pandemic as a collective grief experience, where people cope with loss of freedom and certainty. He relates this to the stages of grief, including denial, anger, and acceptance.

Blindboy explains that defense mechanisms are often misunderstood as purely negative but can serve to protect us during stressful times. They help us cope with painful truths.
