Shakesville’s (a blog you should be reading) Melissa McEwan on July’s confounding onslaught of natural and man-made disasters:
“…I don’t have the expertise to write about what’s going on in the world right now, how to tease out what’s ‘normal’ from what isn’t, and I’m not sure I’d know what to say even if I did. Anyway, I want to mark that this happening in some way; I want to document that people are struggling and succumbing and surviving. That’s insufficient, I know, but it’s all I’ve got.”
