Every now and then I feel deeply *seen* by a reader, and that can make all the difference some days. This was a comment on my piece last week about diplomacy games and the media.

I hit a burnout point with the newsletters, so I'm glad I took a week off to catch up on other work, but it's kind, thoughtful readership like this (and from so many generous readers here) that gives me the boost I need to dive back into the humanist fray--soon.

For now?

We all matter, or none of us do. 🕊️
