Exhaustion, Ideas, and Inspiration
[Originally posted on Blogger!]
I was reading this post earlier today and wanted to say that I kind of felt the same way a lot recently. There are just so many terrible things happening that you *have* to separate yourself from them in at least some manner in order to remain functional, but complete isolation leads to a failure to understand actual solutions. I'm not entirely sure what to do about a lot of these wicked problems either, but I'm starting to work on ideas... Some of those involve speaking out, others working on technological solutions to help with problems like verifiable voting and true community building. Posts will follow as I start to develop a few of those.
Now, as for things that brighten the day. MCA Hogarth's Dream Healers duology is absolutely wonderful. It provided the source of inspiration I used to make it through this last week house hunting, and beyond that, it made me rethink a lot of things in my own life. The first time I read Mindtouch, a little more than a year ago, I was actually in the middle of falling in love myself, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Due to life constraints, I'm only now starting on the second of the two, and you can expect a review when I do complete it. ^^
