Morning, folks.
I highly recommend the Cold Turkey app if ever you need a break. I blocked myself from CoSo for a week to stop doomscrolling while dealing with other stressors. I think a lot of us were disheartened by the state of the silo recently--but as J notes, that's on us to manage like the adults we are!
For those who missed it, I wrote last week on Ed Murrow. His pluralist ideals informed a life of service, and set a standard for us all.
Hope you've been well.

@MLClark just fine. Restoring some land, day job is a bit uncertain so I'm reflecting on what I might want to do next. So far I've got: drink coffee, read. Feel like that should be paid work.
Oh, fantastic. What are you reading today? Grim ol' news, or something beautiful?
@MLClark I only read news I can effect, e.g. write my reps, send a box. Actively avoid the torrents of catastrophes; don't need reminding our species is a hot mess.
What's on your docket? You seem to get through a lot of text!
Reading Shogun (again) and this stack next:

Thanks backsaw! Hope you've been well.
