I delve into my personal experience with burnout, not from overworking but from the overwhelming nature of recent global events and toxic fandom cultures. I discuss the struggle of maintaining passion for art and media in a world filled with chaos, and share how I've navigated through feelings of disillusionment and emptiness. This reflection emphasizes the importance of finding joy in the small things and the necessity of living in the present, despite the challenges we face. Join me as I explore the journey of rediscovering my voice and the power of cherishing life's simple pleasures amidst turmoil.
I hope you continue to recover. Struggling against the relentless loudness of negativity in the world is so hard. I see people protesting, get attacked myself for expressing myself, and can only shake my head as those with barely a moment's life experience shout the loudest of all.
Personally, I feel the same as you about the new Dune. I also despise a new book toted at the New Pern called Fourth Wing, I find it ableist, bordering on eugenist, but those who love it can't see the prejudice layered in it beyond the overt actions of the antagonists. Like Dune, they chose to believe the marketing rather than read beyond the most superficial themes that fit their views.
