Aviation, patent law, landscapes. Most days I just want a donut and a good book. Opinions my own. She/her.
My experiment with setting an app limit for Instagram this week has proven this out basically immediately. I wouldn’t have identified these particular words as what I was feeling, but I’m in a much better mood generally without it. Thinking very seriously about just deactivating.
Young adults who took just a one-week break from social media showed improvement in depression, anxiety and insomnia symptoms, a new study says. Plus, tips for how to take a break from your feed.
A short social media detox improves mental health, a study shows. Here's how to do it

Our VERY LOW ENERGY president, who no one even likes and is responsible for the WORST economy in the history of economics, can’t even keep his eyes open during televised meetings. Someone should check into this ASAP. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I’m actually working M-F this week. I honestly don’t think I’ve done that since I started flying professionally. Wild. And while my days are going to be 12-14 hours long instead of 8-10, I still wouldn’t go back.

In only one day this feels like one of the healthiest things I’ve ever done for myself.
Set a time limit on Instagram because it simply isn’t bringing me joy anymore. I’ve already passed the limit for today and I honestly already feel relief from that. So that probably says something I’ll ultimately learn nothing from.

Trump has trampled the Constitution, trashed the economy, and ceded the next century to China. Someone in my replies on Bluesky used the word "Latinx". I have never felt more politically homeless.

I don’t blame her for waiting until her pension kicks in. To the extent we can, any of us lucky to have pensions should do the same. I do blame her for being a festering pimple trying to masquerade as a beauty mark in the meantime.

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
NYT isn’t worth reading because they are in the bag for Trump

I got to do one of those approaches last night that make me feel like a real pilot. Automation off, raw data, 3.5° descent angle, and still rolled it on basically at the thousands. Some days it’s nice when it’s easy, but when it’s hard it reminds me how far I’ve come.

It’s notable that conservative reporters and pundits have been cleared to comment on his health etc., but I don’t trust it.

It is still full dark at 6:23 AM and I’m not even in a daylight savings state. How do they expect us to rise and shine if the sun hasn’t even done that yet?
