Things are starting to feel just a little less weird,
Yes, the weirdness of the world hasn’t gone away.
There’s a war raging between a former superpower and Ukraine, a genocide taking place in Palestine.
Women in several US states continue to suffer from the rollback of their civil rights, a convicted criminal who helped roll back those rights is running for President of the United States for a 4th time.
Astronauts were sent to space without a return ticket.
The greatest threat to humanity continues to be talked about as if it isn’t already happening.
And in recent weeks, something has changed that has put the weirdness into perspective.
