I should try to take a break.

The attention to detail that is needed to sort through news articles for facts, think about them until they suggest something intelligible, in addition to the consequences and the hostility; it's a lot.

The Tara Reade case is one of the most stressful things I have ever written about.  I should try to respect how stressful it is.

It might be easier for me if stress made me cry, but it doesn't tend to do that.  It makes me cruel.  I cry when I feel hopeless; I guess that's good because it's not that often but I know that cruelty is counterproductive.
