“Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.” Great perspective. https://bsky.app/profile/mishellbaker.bsky.social/post/3lg7sh3sehs2f

@kottke Having just gone through the 'finding out probably dying soon' through 'definitely going to die within weeks' through death experience with my mother in the last few years, this is so deeply, deeply true.

Clear-eyed joy is still joy.

@kottke I'm in more or less the same boat with prostate cancer.

I know the end will come at some point (months, years, whatever), and I'm OK with that; what I'm trying to do is enjoy the time I have. Except right now I'm 5/6 of the way through chemo and boy does it suck.

But when it stops sucking - I've got stuff to do 😀
