A few things have kept me sane in the insanity since October 7th. Meditation, deep breaths, community, love, hope… Perhaps most of all, the brave clarity of @dansenor @Nadav_Eyal @havivrettiggur @DouglasKMurray @bariweiss & a (far too) few others. I am indebted to you all.

Your email did not find me well. Your email did not find me at all. It searched and searched, chasing me around street corners and down dark alleyways, calling for me, but, by the skin of my teeth, I escaped it. I am free. I am liberated from the tyranny of your message.

Genuine question. Why isn’t @havivrettiggur on every news channel, podcast, debate, everywhere, all the time? The man is my sanity in the storm. (Kudos to @dansenor for putting him on my radar).

Maybe the fate of humanity doesn’t hang on your every word after all. Maybe you are not, in fact, spearheading the revolution. Maybe you’re just not that important in the scheme of things. Maybe you could just live your life & let others live theirs & try to be a little kinder 🤷🏻‍♂️
