Oh dear, -t! How truly awful for everyone.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh my god, -t, that's awful!

So I thought I was coming here with an awful thing to post, but so much less awful than that! Nevertheless, I will post it. I just heard the most racist conversation I've heard in a long time! Will represent with fake names. Ann, a senior person, is in the lobby meeting a visitor, John. Ann's assistant is also standing there. Ann says, "John, I'd like to introduce my new assistant, Jen Wong. Oh! John, you studied East Asia, right? ... I mean, not that that's the only thing about you, Jen! But you do speak Mandarin, right?" As I'm walking away, I hear John trying, and apparently failing, to say something in Mandarin.
I am MORTIFIED. And will try to remember to bring this up in the Microaggressions session I'm going to next week, although honestly, that felt bigger than micro.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, I feel like I should have a more finely tuned response than "This is horrible" but I don't. And my brother is in Texas, I can't just go, like, be there with him. Argh.

Oy, Jesse.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm so sorry, sarameg.
What a nightmare, -t.

How terrible, -t. I'm so sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Augh. Waiting for a phone call or two about these steroid shots I'm trying to schedule. Phone rang, I ran for the phone (which of course hurts my back), and it was a spammer or a wrong number.
I'm sorry, -t. That does seem like it would be hard to react to.
