This quote is also too good not to share and I desperately needed it today:
"If you suppose that it’s all your fault that your life feels stuck these days, that you feel powerless and hopeless, do you know what you’re really doing? You are assigning yourself a kind of omnipotence. You are saying that you should have the power to live some kind of ideal life—even in a time of stagnation, collapse, and decay. And so the natural result, when that life doesn’t happen, is to feel depressed, angry, to isolate yourself, sit there in intense, brooding, all-permeating judgment and condemnation."

Yesterday's budget really was an astonishing attack on the productive.
Heading for #systemiccollapse at a fair old clip.
