Politics 

I genuinely think America is over. More to the point, I think America should _be_ over. I don't think there's a "we the people" any more, and that would be fine if we had a proportional parliamentary system with RCV and we could make small shifts at the margins and guarantee high degrees of regional autonomy. We can't, though, and there's no incentive for anyone in charge to diminish their own role on the stage to make it happen.

I try to keep politics away from this space, because more and more I feel like a specialist in my own particularly strain of psychoceramics, but I have enough trouble feeling like I'm screaming into the void sometimes. I need to at least put down my thoughts somewhere where I can look at them outside my own head and study them. If others want to pick up the rock and stare at them with me, I think I'm okay with that, too.

@literorrery I think I'm mostly going to keep politics over on Twitter, unless I abandon it entirely. I'd like to read your thoughts about it, though. :)

@green I think I'm a lot closer to abandoning it to the dustbin. I just closed it on my desktop and phone again.
