how do people find peace with the news of the world. i feel like it saturates my being. i wind up deleting most of what lands on my threshold, but it crosses the threshold anyway. we can do nothing, and then the big protest turns out to be pro nato and oligarchy and performative, incredibly saddening. i take a break sometimes but wind up reading memoirs about loved ones dying or the osage murders. michael hurley (who just died) said we need to be intentional. maybe that implies healthy boundaries. a buddhist practitioner i follow said sometimes she wants to kill a certain person, and it's not very buddhist. let me know how you remain sane if you do.
