So glad you wrote this cause I just didn’t have it in me put it all to the page.
Couldn’t agree more with your premise or your analysis, but too much of the time now my own ability to articulate a solid premise and nuanced analysis then commit it to the page only makes me more keenly aware of how small I feel in the face of the challenge.
Perhaps if we all know we are perceiving the same thing and making a cohesive collecting choice about how we respond to it, we can “be the change.” We must keep believing that or, as I said in one of my most read pieces, start “drinking heavily and waiting to die.”
