There’s so much beauty in the world, yet the Internet is full of rage. That’s what I was thinking about when the whole Substack drama went down in early January. The whole thing made me exasperated, and I even considered leaving Substack at one point. Not to avoid Nazis, but to get away from the people screaming about Nazis. It is also a big reason why I took so long to write this issue for you, dear reader. And this happened right after my own personal drama with Substack! It is because I was so, so, hanfu chinese traditional costume so tempted to comment about it and add to the boiling pot of fury. Take the photo above. But what good is there to add to the existing outrage? There are so many beautiful things about China and her people. But all you see these days (in the Western media anyway) is hatred and sinophobia. Here’s a beautiful woman in Peking opera hanfu. It seems like everyone is trying to rally someone to get angry about something, to other a platform, qipao style dress a person or nation. I’m exhausted by all the outrage, my friends. And some of you may feel like you need to because you’re not a bad person so as a good person you should be on their side. But, but … what if we do the opposite? What if we put out messages of beauty instead of outrage?
