Bolt awake this morning at 6:15am and could NOT get back to sleep. Try as I might to drag my feet through the usual routine, I still found myself at work at 7:45am which is hecka-early; usually I'm rocking up at the office at 9...9:30ish.
So now it's 10 to 10am, and it feels like I've been here for hours and I want to eat my lunch. I have been productive so far, so that's nice, but everything else about this I hate very much.

I had a weird dream where I was talking to someone at some kind of ceremony, I think a funeral, where I had timidly painted my face with clay as part of some ritual. This person was talking about how far society has come while our brains have not caught up.
Imagine if your ancient cave dwelling ancestors were dropped into this world of cars, office hours, budgets, climate change, and AI. They would be absolutely freaking out and struggling to understand things all the time... Just like you are now.
Society teaches us to suppress these emotions. You're supposed to be OK with giant metal boxes flying around you in rumbling stampedes, but you feel it in unexplained anxiety. You're supposed to just fit your life into tight little bounds that ignore weather and season, but you feel it in more unexplained anxiety and depression. We are all part of something so big and complicated we can't make sense of it, we cannot possibly comprehend it all, it is simply too much to fully grasp the implications of our individual actions within global capitalism. Should we be surprised by our urge to simply destroy it, by the anger and desire to simply "smash" something far more complex than can be met with simple violence?
Some part of my brain was trying to remind me to be compassionate to myself. Perhaps that reminder can be useful to you as well.

Virginia Democrats have vowed to fight the order.
“My office will immediately file an appeal in the Court of Appeals,”
state Attorney General Jay Jones said in a statement.
“As I said last night, Virginia voters have spoken,
and an activist judge should not have veto power over the People’s vote,”
Jones added.
“We look forward to defending the outcome of last night’s election in court.”

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) is suggesting that a recent report on President Donald Trump’s involvement in the Situation Room (or lack thereof) during the extraction of U.S. military airmen in Iran should prompt his cabinet members to consider removing him from office.
