Well done tackling such a tough issue so delicately. A note to add perhaps, to anyone with news-fatigue, or really any sort of exhaustion, is learn to rest not quit. If you need to pause, then pause. Build up, and return with a higher level of resilience. Then pause again when you’ve hit your new limit. Repeat. Someone, somewhere is picking up the baton and you are allowed to rest. When you pick up again, you’re allowing someone else a breather. But don’t permanently turn away from uncomfortable truths.

You did quite an eloquent job highlighting the actionable steps that can be taken. It creates tangible wins, and reinforces a sense of agency— rather than a victim mindset. Because at the end of the day, what is ignored today returns doubled tomorrow.

Keep it up ;)

Appreciate both the acknowledgment that this kind of newsletter can get doom-y at times (because it's just the nature of these things!) as well as the graceful effort to get people activated. Really grateful for your writing and work.
