I've blocked my newsletters this week, and they're going to be a bit healthier for *me*: two proactive pieces related to media literacy (for tools & perspectives we can use to empower ourselves no matter what), a "rewind" imagining everyday politics shaped by life under Mesopotamian gods (oh, the Ur-book posts we'd post, if social media were around back then!), and a lesson from baseball history on Thursday.

World-grief is a smothering sort of expression of love, eh? Useful only in small doses.
