Honestly, I listen to Up First (NPR's ~15 minute, 3 story podcast) in the mornings. And then I have the Associated Press app downloaded on my phone. They truly only send Breaking News alerts when it's actually a big deal, on average 1-2 a day, and the headline tells you all you need to know.

I keep telling people about the swiss cheese model of self care while some of my slices are actively failing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What an odd course suggestion from Linkedin? Like I feel like there's definitely something else they could have recommended.

Also congrats on 11 years!

You start to see it everywhere and in yourself, and it hurts.

You realize how it’s affected you, and the people you love.

But the strength of that knowledge is a shield and it protects us.

The burden of the weight is lighter the more of us hold it.

There are days I wish I could “switch off” and not remember what I know.

Learning about accessibility is like onions (and ogres).

You start peeling, suddenly you find yourself many layers in, distraught over how deeply ableist societies can be.

I don't know that I've had the pumpkin pie one. But I'm sure it's good.

1000% that is the best tea I've ever had. Close second is the seasonal cranberry black tea also from Tea Smith.
