### A missive from today

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/df/50/df50bdc6-373f-4552-8c99-66e5b9a1f803/content/images/2026/10/oscar-avalos-w0FvtVztsQE-unsplash.jpg)

I'm tired. I'm so fucking tired. Living in today's world is taking such a physical and mental toll, and I'm sure you feel it too. 

Plus, I'm currently hunting for work. My career has been in copywriting and editorial, and most of the jobs right now are centered on shilling for shitty companies and training or using AI. So looking for contract or full-time work is a demoralizing, exhausting process, one where I'm trying to keep my morals intact while still paying my bills. 

As a result, the fun, life-affirming, creative stuff has become just as exhausting as the things we must to do survive. If you're in the same spot, know you're not alone. 

As I drag myself from task to task, researching this morning's newsletter offered me a quick hit of joy. An opportunity to open my eyes wider and breathe a little deeper. I hope it does the same for you.

**I'm reading:** I just finished [The Inevitable Undoing of Zahara Douglass](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/244671770-the-inevitable-undoing-of-zahara-douglass?ref=artofresistance.space). A twisty speculative mystery. 

**I'm watching:** Ted Lasso. It's cozy, yes. But I'm most fascinated when they dive behind the Midwestern (U.S.) facade into what we hide. Plus, this latest season's dive into women's sports is pretty great. 

**I'm listening to:** A few podcasts and playlists. 

- [Hunting the Suicide Salesman](https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/387-hunting-warhead?ref=artofresistance.space): A tight and compelling investigation into forums and shady sites profiting off suicide
- [Heart](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heart/id6805984512?ref=artofresistance.space): A deeply strange and thoughtful story of a heart transplant between two men, and the awful aftermath
- [Mixtape](https://mixtapefm.substack.com/p/mixtape-the-concept): Songs from my favorite concept albums
