This is really sweet to hear; I've been really self-doubting lately; I remember, somewhat uncomfortably, all the (increasing) times I'm short or sarcastic with people online. I've felt pretty dejected. Feeling appreciated for trying to engage in good faith means a lot. twitter.com/youarezera/sta

Thanks, I've been mostly well! I feel slightly poisoned by the culture war. How do you avoid that?

I've been wondering this exact same thing. To not engage feels to concede, but engagement is not only a waste of productive time, it feels like it just contributes energy to the cancer.

Engage and only to try and convince those who engage in good faith, don’t try to argue with people who just want to fight is my SOP. Online slap fighting is definitely a waste of energy. Can be more fruitful in person

Maintain investment in something you love for it's own sake, *outside* of the culture war discussion. The moment your culture work defines you, that's when you jump on the express train to loon town (or suffer a mental breakdown). I hope you stick around. I love your energy.

I turn my heart toward something I want to build, and away from what’s distressing. We should do another show some time.
