About this episode

Is anyone else talking to themselves lately? Anyone else randomly blurting out sounds to express their immense grief and frustration while avoiding a complete mental break down? What T.V show are you binging to bridge the gaps between work, organizing for a ceasefire, and bearing witness to the ongoing genocide? I think about these things out loud in this episode, in a hopefully coherent and interesting way. I'm just so tired.
