Being away from the news for nearly an entire week, when I'm normally immersed in it all day every day, made me feel for a moment like I'd missed an entire century.
Then I started getting caught up on the news—kyriarchal clusterfuckery, police brutality, Democrats are craven, Republicans think tax cuts will solve everything, a Woody Woodpecker remake—and I realize I didn't miss a thing. It's all just the same old shit.
Which could be paralyzingly depressing, I suppose, but, eternal optimist that I am, I'm going with "at least it didn't get any worse!"
