on the (work) phone today someone asked if I thought we're going to be ok and I replied "we'll get through this, we've been through worse" and I hate that that's the most positive thing I can think to say to someone who is fearing potentially losing their identity, job, family, home etc.

If you're trying to keep your heart focused on the work that you're best-placed to do, it is, unfortunately, a great day to use this procedure @kateschapira.bsky.social and I worked on. I'm going to add a few ideas and songs that I find helpful in this process. Thanks to all who contributed ideas!

if you want to watch a great movie about killing men who deserve it and getting away with it last night I watched The Last Seduction and do in fact recommend watching Linda Fiorentino as a fully unapologetically misandrist femme fatale

I myself currently have thousands of dollars in unpaid medical bills because my insurance denied coverage for things that were necessary. Like * the anesthesia* I needed for a colonoscopy to determine if I had colon cancer after 3 months of abdominal bleeding and pain. 1/2
