i’m like 90% excited to return to journalism in two months but after being away and seeing all of this get steadily worse on all topics in all countries i’m 10% “what if i keep wandering the earth until i run out of money and then lay down in the woods and let the moss reclaim me”

This is the stuff I'm a doomer about. Real journalism takes time - even a quick, original 700-word story requires a lot of legwork, relationships, etc.

It can never compete with instant slop, or accounts that just plagiarize news for free with more sensationalistic (and wrong) framing.
