"It's not just that one bad thing has happened so much as that one bad thing has happened in the middle of so many other bad things, and now the whole world feels like chaos.
"Nobody is curious. Everybody is a know-it-all. Nobody is listening.

Favorites Round-Up
Insta-breaking has me needing to document all my favorites, and influential things of note lately:
This article where Rebecca K Reynolds looks at Trump’s style and influence. The line: “Trump sucker punched where he should have courted” spoke to my soul.
This episode of the Good Enough Podcast about how to have an integrated view of emotions, specifically anxiety. I cannot wait to get my eyeballs on Matt LaPine’s book in the Fall.
This quote from Molly Wood (emphasis mine) on Episode 222 of Make Me Smart, describing a woman in Florida speaking before her city council, "facebooking out loud. Like, she just spews a whole bunch of conspiracy theories all at once, like that 5G's going to kill you, Pizzagate, I mean it's remarkable. And what I couldn't shake from it is that it's like--I tried to tweet this with empathy, like, Don't assume this person is dumber than you. Assume that she lives in a completely different universe of information."
Also I just finished my Fiddle Leaf class and Zoom consultation with Emily at The Dossier Blog and I'm feeling so smart and ready to keep this poor plant alive!
