Ran into a brick wall today: my new admin can’t read cursive, which is how a lot of my clients write, so there are tasks she cannot do.

I used to ponder “how did the Germans carry on while Hitler was doing such terrible things?” but then I went to work today as if everything was normal. And I will tomorrow, too.

We’re all just frogs, boiling alive in the pot bc we’ve been numbed by the constant barrage of shocking news.

Americans love to say they hate fascism, but refuse to delete their Meta/TikTok/X accounts when mass censorship rolls out right before their eyes.
