Listened to an episode of This American Life today that reflects on the shock of realizing that one is unprepared for what's already happened.

That's a good way of describing a lot of what we're moving through.

When pandemic started, we realized that we're going to need years to recover from the socio-psychological damage.

The collective trauma of what’s happened since 2016 still has me reeling, and it also includes deaths and illness in the family. I went through a few years of depression and the realization we are all going to process these seismic changes differently. I think the most important step is to recognize that we have experienced major trauma.

@LnzyHou @evamarie @MLClark another take on how we got to 9/11: Ghost Wars.

The CIA has three intertwined ways of being: exceptional intelligence gathering, gross incompetence, and extrajudicial fuckery at home and abroad in the name of “national security”.

Reading some Tom Robbins may be better for your spirits though.
