Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm so sorry, Sue.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Ugh, hi folks. So have you noticed my university in the news these days? Ugh ::facepalm:: There is literally nothing acceptable about it either in terms of what happened or how it was resolved, or why it was allowed to continue for 30 fricking years!!!

My friend who is a pediatrician at CHLA is also fuming about this. But she said Laura Mosqueda, a geriatrician, is pretty excellent for the new dean.

edited to add wrong scandal. Yikes. I thought it was the Puliafito then Varma issue. This is awful.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh Sue, I just saw your post. I'm so incredibly sorry. I also am a person who deals with grief and stress by shifting into logistics mode, so I completely understand that. I hope you have good people around you who can be there for you through this terrible time.

OMG how many scandals do we fricking need?!?! I mean, don't get me wrong, Puliafito was cause enough for Nikias to step down, Puliafito followed by Varma?! Needs to go. And then THIS

Take care of yourself, Sue.

And I know it's a bit after-the-fact, but I recommend the book "When Someone Dies" -- there's a Kindle edition on Amazon, and it's super helpful on all sorts of practical issues.
