11/ If we want to avoid being perpetually surprised, we need to change how we report, teach, and think about China. That means breaking out of political frames, investing in expertise, and squarely confronting our own biases.
This one goes to 11.

I know. It’s the curse of being a good person. I hope you can find your own best ways to practice self-care in the midst of it all.

For myself, my new balance point is this:
For the vast majority of evil that happens, I cannot work for the good in any meaningful way.
If I give my health over to the outrage, then I have helped them to claim myself as another victim.
If I shitpost, I help them to claim more victims.
