I’m always interested in whatever you’re writing. The fact that you don’t wish to be gauche or tone deaf is a credit to you.
One of the worst thing about tragedy is also the best: life continues on. It’s an insult to people in the midst of the horror. I’m thinking of how I felt as we drove home from hospice one Sunday morning after watching my husband hold his mother as she died. How are you people just driving around like that didn’t just happen? I remember feeling.
Eventually it’s a blessing, because we can hopefully get an opportunity to move on. My thinking is, the people of Ukraine don’t know or care who I am. My heart goes out to them. Seeing as there’s nothing I can do about it, I think the best thing to do is go on living my ordinary life while I have the privilege. I’m sure that’s all they wish for themselves.
I for one would absolutely be interested in a piece on VR fiction and how its impacted the development of the actual tech, and the discussion around it!
I was already resolved to heart & comment here before reaching the recommendation of my last essay, for which I'm very grateful - thank you. But I like this thoughtful piece very much for exploring the unspoken rule that we shouldn't talk about anything other than how awful this invasion is.
My newsletter has been paused too, because of Ukraine. I've written, rewritten, scrapped & started over several times because it feels socially risky to say what's on my mind.
I think you surfaced something unspoken but pervasive, which is not entirely healthy. Thanks for voicing it, because it helps when someone does that.
