Hey.

You’re going to get people telling you that you can’t enjoy anything because Bad Things are happening.

It’s always been a thing with people, but it’s especially bad right now as a certain chunk of white Americans are starting to experience certain Bad Things for the first time. They’re overwhelmed with it, unpracticed in being targeted and/or even affected by this kind of stuff. So they’ll pop up on your post about making pottery, or being happy with your partner, or a shout out to your nice parents, and they’ll be full of righteous anger at you. They’ll be convinced that you aren’t ‘doing your part’ of the suffering, that the world should stop turning because now it’s finally happening to them. How dare you be happy, they’ll say, when something Important and Urgent, and Bad is happening to me?! And, no, they won’t get the hypocrisy so don’t bother pointing at their selfies at the cafe, their brand new cars, the millions of kisses shared in public with their partners while Bad Things have been happening outside of their personal space. Because they won’t remember that version of themselves. They won’t remember that people can be multifaceted. They won’t remember that joy does not have to be the cost of having knowledge of suffering, and compassion for others. They are experiencing the Bad Things, and it’s all encompassing.

Instead, continue to be happy, continue to share it, and enjoy the things you do. Because most of us have already been in these trenches for a long while now, some even longer than others, and from my experience seeing that the world is still turning and joy is still possible is ten times more important than you ‘experiencing the suffering’ with us. I want to know that pottery is still being made. I want to see Thailand rejoice in queer marriages. I want to know that you are loved and supported by people around you. I want to remember that there’s still joy and laughter and care in the world, and that someone can still experience it when I can’t.

It’s important that the world continues on when and where it can. It’s really, really important.

the thing is you're like obviously Austen was spectacularly talented at lampooning the worst kinds of people in a universal way that is still deeply relevant today and then you actually read some Austen again and you think wow she really was spectacularly talented at lampooning the worst kinds of people in a universal way that is still deeply relevant today
