'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My heart is breaking for a scholar I don't personally know but I've been reading and following for over a decade online after a terrible event took place in her life. It feels like a gut punch.
It is strange, the ways of feelings and the internet.
(Yeah, I'm aware that I'm writing this here, in another pixelated space. But I do know you. You write here. And so do I).
I'm sorry, Shir. And yes, I understand, my pixelated friend.
Yes, Shir, your friends in the glowy box understand and sympathize with your feelings for another friend/acquaintance in the glowy box. Hope things for her get better.
I don't know her, so I can't call her a friend. Just a person I care about. There has been a terrible and sudden loss that's echoing an older terrible loss, so I don't expect things to get better for a long while.
Someone save me from the crank monster.

My boss brought me pie.
I do love my job.
When come back bring pie!
I got dispatched on a 35-mile round trip to deliver a 'care package' of clothes and toiletry items to one of our residents who is in a rehabilitation facility after a bout of COVID. Only to find after driving all that way that despite what the resident and the social worker who suggested it thought, outside clothes and so on are not permitted to be given to the patients currently.
(Our facility does, fwiw, and so does at least one other rehab place in Cambridge. So it didn't occur to US that this might be a possibility.)
At least it was an easy drive (to Stoughton, for those who know their Boston geography so it was all Southeast Expressway which used to be ..dire) and I saw goslings!
Mmmm, pie
