I have to say, folks: two types of humanity have come out of the woodwork this past month... & one I understand.
The people too angry to be kind? The people whose hurt makes it impossible to care about the other "side"?
That, I get. It sucks, but it's trauma.
The other type, though...
In my lit circles, I see folk saying "Oh, this horrible thing has happened & I can't believe I *just* published a book/story about it! You can read/buy it here! 🙏"
That type really, really strains my empathy.
