span of time when someone has lived is clearly stated, and you have to understand their lifeline through a hyphen. ​ We make the future in the now. What are we going to do now? ​ Time does work in a cyclical way. It's not as linear as we like to think that it is, and that's what astrology tends to highlight.

It feels almost insensitive to focus on anything else right now, like bringing up celebrity gossip at a funeral. ​ This is that emergency episode that falls outside the overarching narrative continuity of our lives. ​ Living in a house where adults are screaming at each other in the next room from dusk until dawn chips away at the membrane of one’s inner peace. ​ More and more of the information is simply adding to the fog of war, and some shoddy graphs of all sorts of really varied data sets and cohorts aren’t helping. ​ For all the chaos on Twitter, some of the smarter voices there still strike me as the most sensible ones.
