This week’s been rough. I’d like to share one of my all-time favorite essays with you. It’s called “The Routine Boredom of Misery,” and it’s about joy. Normally I would put an excerpt here to entice you, but I can’t pick just one part. Believe me, I’ve tried. Every sentence of this thing carries weight; every paragraphs leans on the ones before and after it for support; every point builds on what’s already been said while simultaneously setting up what comes next. Just read the whole thing, it’s not that long.
Then, if you like it, read some more!
Joy and health to all of you.

Fire gets two advantages for no apparent reason, neutral is objectively the worst, the relationship between dragon and dark makes no sense, and all the other coolest types from Pokemon (like ghost and psychic) just get lumped in with dark. Ugh. ↩︎
