Thank you for your kind words, Lisa! I hear you; I too can get dishearted when I hear well-intentioned friends just ...shrug off the onslaught of AI. When I'm over here internally screaming as I watch it invade our culture and slowly eat us from the inside out. I just keep holding on to the truth that hope is a virtue and we're commanded to it (and likewise, it's counter-vice, despair, is a sin).
And yes, I also agree that I'm reticent to Substack's ever-inching towards more of a social media feed with its notes. I'm admit to not really missing that, and I'm not really in the mood to jump back in.
Thank you so much for this lovely response, Tsh! You're right that one must (I must) hold on to hope as a virtue (my husband reminded me of many reasons to hope too). It's just nice to know I'm not the only one out there "internally screaming" (a very apt phrase). That in itself is cause for hope (I mean that in the best way). And I hope I didn't offend with my Substack "feed" concern. I'm with you in that reticence, though so much of the meaty content (like yours) is so worthwhile. So perhaps I just need to try to engage not as much on the app but more through direct posts and email. 🙂 Thanks for your thoughtful response and for reading my long post!

I'm glad to be back overall, though!
