No waiver news. No news at all. This isn’t a day I really felt like writing. I definitely did not want to pay real attention to what is happening in the creeping doom of our world. I don’t feel very good about the wider world and have little to say that would be meaningful about it. I used to think that writing the Justice Engine was a moment to reflect on what I think about the now, but I am starting to see that the world is moving faster than that, and I have so little that I feel is worth saying to the world.
Maybe I am going too far. Maybe I am making excuses for not writing my stuff, but I have serious concerns that by the time the story is done, the world will look nothing like it does now. Things are moving quickly, as though the brakes broke and everything is careening. Yes, Trump did it, but he is only part of the problem. He’s a symptom of sorts. We don’t talk enough about the crazy behind him and the world being filled with people surging towards power who don’t know how to be even tempered.
I’m worried. I’m not to the point of scared yet, but I probably should be–about a lot of it. About my own future at least. I keep trying to tell myself that this is short term and we will turn it around, but I am not sure that is a truth I can hold on to for much longer.
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “House votes for Department of War renaming as part of an annual defense bill” What are we doing?!
- Also…. “Exclusive: A passing boater’s photograph may be the 5 adults who drowned in Ohio” WHAT are we doing?!
