* I extracted myself from social media so that I could stop immersing myself in -- and contributing to -- a culture of Very Online Constant Rage.
* But: There are actually things to be angry about. Leaving Twitter doesn't change that.
* So I am trying to figure out the sweet spot of writing about, and bearing witness to, the injustices of the age while at the same time not exploiting it, unnecessarily or unreasonably exacerbating it, or losing my own soul to constant anger.
I would take some advice on that.
