After the news

For the moment when everything changes and nothing makes sense

A field guide for the immediate aftermath of rupture.

After the News names a specific moment: the immediate aftermath of destabilizing information, when meaning collapses, language fails, and action isn’t yet possible. Before interpretation. Before response. Before anything can be done.

This guide does not explain what happened or tell you what to do next. It provides containment for the moment when understanding has not yet returned.
