“There is something that happens in my head every night when I sit down to write these posts, where my brain tries to reconcile two things that cannot live in the same space. On one side is the sheer absurdity of what we are living through, the kind of absurdity that, if you let it, could almost make you laugh because none of it seems like it could possibly be real. And on the other side is the weight of what that absurdity is actually doing to real people, children, families, service members, to this country, and that weight is not funny at all. It is the saddest thing I have ever watched happen to something I love so much.”
