Oh, social media. I remain not very good at you. I’ll try to do better. And how are you? This is the pool where I grew up, thanks to my stepfather‘s family, and now I live half a mile away ☀️

I spent most of yesterday thinking I was targeted and fired and maybe I was but I was not alone. There were 130 of us that were booted from our former company yesterday and they have also asked for people to voluntarily resign.

And by “just seeing it now,” I mean, I just I’m hearing Keith Olbermann’s bulletin podcast about it and finally opened blue sky to check what has been happening today, while I have been hiding. Damn.
I haven’t been listening to podcasts or checking blue sky because I thought I needed a break so I am just now seeing the news about MSNBC. What in the goddamn hell?

If you guys need self-care tips for getting through this current constitutional crisis, I highly recommend riffing any of the four remaining soap operas. It’s really fun. A good escape. If possible watch with your best friend, in my case, a 16-year-old fluffy cat, next to you ❤️

Listen to the historians.
From the bottom of my heart, I believe that we can be better than this.
(Low bar, I realize, but still.)
We can embrace diversity.
We foster equity.
We can be inclusive.
As a historian, I believe in change.
And as low as I sometimes feel right now, I —WE—are not defeated.

I try to give Quentin mainly wet food so I didn’t really panic about being out of dry food, but I noticed a certain cat was getting overly interested whenever I would open a package. Mommy finally got the message and ordered him some dry food and cat toys.
