There are so many approaches to writing about Severance (because it’s legitimately one of the greatest shows of the 21st century 💚).
My approach pulls from a decade of previous experience in HR—and our collective exhaustion in rearranging our identities as we move in & out of work spaces.

‘Severance’ Asks if Identity and Corporate Life Can Ever Coexist
Two seasons in, this office-dwelling sci-fi drama is having a long, dark night of the split soul.

I wrote a track-by-track rundown of Gaga’s #Mayhem — the first heavy weight pop album of the year. It’s a blazing, bleeding, beaming reckoning with her darkest selves.
What a joy to have watched her become both the consummate pop student & a loud proponent of emotional & mental health. 🖤

Lady Gaga’s ‘Mayhem’ is Pop Therapy for the Masses
Her seventh record is every good, dark, glittering thing Gaga has learned about herself and the industry.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

This is a pretty spot-on read about the wild tech whiplash that’s happening as these corporate giants cannibalize themselves in the name of AI. Reminds me a lot of watching once-great TV networks succumb to terrible reality shows for the sake of engagement. 😕 #substack

This is fucking incredible.
![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mmtjkssv6jeneahkgfdxuy7p/bafkreicmr3wybkn6acxmmdf4vuqnzxho2nk7kp3v7tx7vkclg2cjmwvixm@jpeg)

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.
