If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Our democracy must really be flawed if it only took 3 months for a president to become a king.

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

My evening thought is that I suspect a great many Americans, in the period after 1989, grew very used to a world in which it didn't matter *that* much who they elected (to them).
They had the rule of law, the most prosperous economy in human history, the long peace.
But it always mattered.

Hey.
Stop being so hard on yourself.
You are learning.
Don’t let your ego convince you that you are the only person facing uncertainty, doubt, exhaustion, fear, etc. You have people around you that care and are likely facing similar feelings.
We grow in community.

I regularly have to resist the urge to text my dad at 3am because he's got a sleep schedule and I'm a weird gremlin who only remembers to text back late at night.
