Thank you for this article. Mainstream media has definitely lost its way. I get my news from Substack these days and sometimes on Reddit (don't judge). For the past ten years, I hate the way the media covers 47 and his EOs. Most of which are just for his "fan club" to say oh he's doing something but the Dems, courts and lawyers are just the bad guys trying to stop him from making America "great" (again). Sadly, nothing he does is real other than incite chaos and confusion. As a devout Christian for many years, I know how to recognize those in league with darkness. It's also why I am so disappointed with purported Christians who don't love their neighbors. As a lawyer, the attack on the rule of law now against the judiciary and now the ABA and law firms. If they cave, then soon the Constitution falls and these illegal, overreaching "orders" will indeed have more meaning than they should. Congress will hopefully do their job and stand up to this. But, it seems that the very vocal minority has an appetite or thirst for autocracy. Buckle up, buttercup. p.s. I finished your book on audible and I'm now reading the hard copy so I can really soak it in. You are doing God's work!

Lately, my clothes are for utility and comfort. I wear the same few things. Less decision fatigue :-) Thank you for being the voice of reason.

Decision fatigue is the main barrier between me and anything that might be deemed "fashionable." :)

All I can say is thank you for being here! As a neurodivergent person, I am getting whiplash from figuring how and where to spend my energy, so many issues I care about and worry about, it is completely overwhelming! I know logically that so much of it is distraction and specifically to enrage us, but my heart and body do not always follow logic. Thank you for clearing some of the student debt noise

The only clothing I buy is the replace what wears out.

Thank you for being a voice of reason in such a trying time. As someone who works in higher-ed, I have concerns. But your words have helped calm some of my own frayed nerves. I appreciate your take!

I'm happy to offer some calm :) Totally empathize with your concerns, and it's awful how uncertain everything is for students and borrowers right now. Sending love to the higher-ed world!
