Thanks for telling how you cope. I get a lot of benefit from long hikes through natural settings. I do this every day, weather permitting. It is a form of meditation, for me.

Long hikes are an absolute gift.

You are so right about burnout. I think I’ve reached that stage. I can’t read many Substacks anymore. I’m exhausted

Take the time to disconnect. It's vital. Alone time is sacred.

Thanks for the Dad Joke: I found a roti recipe with several slow cooker curry recipes and I intend to put them all to good use! So appreciate you. 🙏🏽

One bad/dad joke deserves another. What historic city has the population with the widest feet?

Triple-E

Haha as someone who has wide feet, this is Double E hilarious.

…And when you remove an elongated chinese frying pan from a person of lesser stature but equal status? You must be taking a long wok off a short peer.

This framing matters. Burnout isn’t a personal failure, it’s the business model of unjust systems. Treating rest, boundaries, and presence as strategy instead of self-indulgence flips the script. You’re naming what a lot of people feel but haven’t been given language for yet. Also, any recap that pairs human rights with a perfectly awful dad joke understands the full spectrum of resistance.
