Your Disquiet grabbed me, like a lifeline. What I've been feeling, for what seems like fore ever. Am I a traitor to my own DNA? I am tired of listening to men too. Some men are tired of listening to men too. Wise two X, rise up. More like you LaDonna. We need you. Now - more than ever. (Thank you for the lifeline this morning. Thank you.)

Very cool. Funny how you mention being tired of hearing from men and only interested new voices and stories—I’m really noticing the same thing in a much stronger way as I’m into my 40s now.

From my couch it sounds like you found a village and a new friend. Good for you, and thank you for writing this. "I have been tired. Tired of this spinning blue ball. Of the people who inhabit it. Of the bombs we drop and the names we call. Of the babble and the clickbait. Of the same old capitalist and colonial arguments all strung out like beads on some fanatical supremacist rosary, rubbed all up in our faces again and again." This describes my funk in a nutshell.

You're just gonna ...just do it (ugh, it's been used....) You go! ----- “I promised myself I would talk to people,” I said by way of introduction, “and try my best not to introvert into a corner.”
