… of me posting my scheduled weekly commentary. Last week’s absence was probably already noted... and while there’s still plenty going on that I’m aware of, I’m not sure I want to rummage through sources and news articles for the length of time it’ll take to write about any of it this week either. Not when my free time is suddenly heavily constrained and simply finding an Internet connection with the bandwidth to be truly usable has become a chore due to recent real-life events.
Of course, said real-life events are also the type of thing
that, for a Navy officer, also result in more things like underway watches,
drills, and port visits. So you can look forward to some interesting personal
and professional stories in a week or two.
In the meantime, I think I’ll repost a link a friend put on
Facebook about two weeks ago: a game of sorts (something between a visual
novel and a text adventure) designed to raise awareness about depression. I
would encourage those reading this to go play it, if you haven’t already; I
think it is an excellent illustration of how depression can work. (Although –
if the trigger warning the game provides, directed to those suffering from
depression, applies to anyone reading this, I encourage them to treat it with
the caution they feel it requires.)
