lotesseOh I am sad and sore about the (western?) human world today.
-In the US, l'etat c'est him now, and we all get to eat it
-In the UK, we get to watch racists cutting off their noses to spite their faces with the stupid terrible Brexit
At least Meghan and Prince Harry took off for Canada? I fear I might wish, increasingly, that I had. My childhood best friend did, a few years back; we talked over Skype the other day abt how she and her partner are struggling with feeling indentured as emigres, but -- that was the deal.
I don't know how to evaluate my despair; watching all of these ?western ?Enlightenment institutions fall. Did I really support those things, or have I just been programmed to identify them with civilization? But I do feel the despair, and strongly.
