Food For Thought

With everything that has been going on, this really resonated with me this week:

“But I also wonder about the way that social media makes us feel that we have to say something, even if it is poorly informed, while also making it hard to convey nuance. I often think about the world 15 or 20 years ago, when we were not able to broadcast our state of mind at any given moment, and so we felt no pressure to simplify complex and fragile feelings. We were able to just be private citizens at moments of mass grief, and that gave us space to move through many different emotional states unseen.”
