Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Good morning, writers! Once again, I discovered that the words will come, and new pieces of the story will emerge, if I sit with pen and cheap notebook early in the morning. Even on days when I'm sure that l'm all out of words and story. ✍️
