Back from the beach. The weather was perfect, the water was warm, the location was beautiful, and best of all with internet turned off I didn't hear about the Felon and f'Elon once. I found that hoping they might spontaneously combust while I was away was very soothing.
I really needed a break to get a bit of distance from worrying nonstop about America, worrying for Canadians and Greenlanders, and worrying for my own country once the Eye of Sauron falls on us as it eventually will. Sitting on the balcony gazing at the waves gently breaking on the beach gave me space for reflection that they have been doing that since long before the emergence of humans and will no doubt be doing so long after we disappear. For the sake of my mental health I'm hoping to be able to hold onto that sense of perspective as the current catastrophe continues to unfold.
