I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.
The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

imo the best novels i've ever read about trauma are the first two Patrick Melrose novels, Never Mind and Bad News. the tv adaptation was quite good but the prose in the books is so vivid and extraordinary. some of the most searing modern literature i've ever read

I’ve been saying for years that it should be illegal to email me
Conducting tasks while receiving e-mails and phone calls reduces a worker’s IQ by about ten points relative to working in uninterrupted quiet. That is equivalent to losing a night’s sleep, and twice as debilitating as using marijuana.
Are digital distractions harming labour productivity?
The evidence is mixed; it seems clear, however, that they are making us unhappier

Zohran didn't win by relying on standard turnout patterns. We had to fundamentally transform the Democratic electorate.
I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the “universe” of voters to talk to. Here's how we won 🧵

This nature of comments baselessly accusing Zohran of being a terrorist actively endanger his life, all amid credible death threats he's very recently faced. Anyone who says things like this is completely unfit to serve in public office to say the least
