Today, I read the watched an episode of the TV show Foundation on AppleTV+. It’s a sci-fi show based on a book series by Isaac Asimov.

Apparently, I’m on a sci-fi kick. I’m wondering if it’s because everything seems so awful right now, and sci-fi has this eternally hopeful conceit that the world continues, even if it continues in newly twisted and awful ways. This show seems to be about aliens, though most everyone looks human, and they’re living under a horribly authoritarian/fascist regime. But, they’re hopeful that this empire will fall, and something better will replace it (even if it’s going to take 10,000 years). Maybe that’s the kind of hope I need right now.

How were you creative today?

Love and gratitude, as always.
