What happens when we are constantly forced to witness the world's pain? @angelaarnold777.bsky.social captures the creeping anxiety in "watching too much news." A deeply resonant piece for our time.

Read the poem here: www.audilocus.com/volume1-issu...

A quote graphic from the poem "watching too much news" by Angela Arnold. The quote reads: "now there is only a seeping a crawling: terrors of world of the madness in us"
