But I can’t be. Some fuckers taught me how to read and write and shit, and now I’m cursed with literacy and awareness. I fucking hate it.

Heck yes.

I had a media career and gained a... habit if not love... for news and journalism in a way. The habit is crushing now in the way that an addiction quickens into life-threatening dependence in the blink of an eye.

I'm wrecked, honestly. About all of it, but there's a little extra ketchup on the shit sandwich for me in the abandonment of journalism we see every day. Not to mention the impending media acceptance of Trump's retribution.

I feel you in this thread and it hurts because all I need to do is nod along.
