The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
I hate how this poor man is being videoed and has to be eloquent and respectful in his grief. I hate how the community members have to gather to host govt officials. I hate everything about this.
In the abstract, technology in and of itself is not a solution to humanity’s problems, just as, in and of itself, it is not inherently evil. In practice, however, technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise it, finance it, regulate it and use it.

"Here's the part nobody talks about" - ughhh I can't read this phrase one more time pleasseeeee stop writing itt. Please stop chatgpt-ing everything! Yuck.
I love layering Christian thought on a lot of complex thinking because I want to push back against the idea that you have to be stupid, ignorant or uneducated to be a person of faith.
