I find myself thinking this morning about the banality of evil. Not that punditry is evil, per se, though sometimes the messages are. But it sure is boring. Like, really, really boring and self-satisfied. And increasingly I'm finding most cultural criticism that I encounter the same. I'm so TIRED of reading takes (or writing takes, honestly) on what other people are actually *doing*. I just want to be doing things. Anything, really, though mostly walking in the woods where there's no punditry or critique or people or politics, only trees.
I realize this is slightly misanthropic on my part, but there we are.

I don't think it's misanthropic! I read it as deeply connective!
I appreciate your faith in me. <3
