Y’all know what cocooning after trauma implies? I kinda think half our population has cocooned from politics and religion. Not sure how to add value yet, but changing my display name is a step I need to take. The toolbox is still there. It’s not WHAT happened to us now. It’s WHY it happened.
This might break the perpetual cycle of campaign fundraising. Worth watching to see what happens. Recently @johnfugelsang.bsky.social got his book on the Times bestseller without a traditional book release strategy.
