Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

How do we hold onto beauty when the world feels like it’s falling apart—amid war, climate crisis, and social unrest. Here’s a reflection on how art, prayer, song, and imagination still matter. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to be in all this charlierumsby.substack.com/.../imaging-....

In our fast-paced, post-industrial world, the rise of "quiet quitting" and the phenomenon of the "great resignation" speak to a growing discontent with overwork and underappreciation. Here's some thoughts on why it is crucial to honour both our work and our need for rejuvenation shorturl.at/wg8bZ

Who knew an e-letter could feel as good as post on the doormat? This one’s packed with theatre obsessions, book club drama (the good kind), and big chats about motherhood, identity, and everything in between. theartofmakingfriends.substack.com/p/on-music-m...

I had forgotten how frustrating, overwhelming, and brain-breaking the writing process can be. So what do you do when writing feels impossible? Walk away? Push through? Talk it out? I’m navigating it one painful word at a time. charlierumsby.substack.com/p/the-agony-...
