I'm sorry M's mom is being unreasonable about your choice, askye. Your whole living situation seems pretty fraught and difficult and not because you are making it that way, and I'm sorry you have to deal with it.

Askye, I’m sorry. That’s a difficult situation.

I'm sorry, askye, but you are making the only right and safe decision.

I like the chronological field—will it quit shoving sixteen people I DONT follow in between those I do? Like, I understand ads, but this is “you like Person so you might also like this post from Random!” And that is somehow more obnoxious than ads? And would be fine if it didn’t feel like they were showing me more of those than they are actual people I follow??

So many things are terrible, including my sister testing positive for Covid earlier this week, but I just got an email from my landlord that they are planning to install smart locks. I know enough about IoT to have IMMEDIATE CONCERNS. Major security concerns and privacy concerns, and what happens if the power/wifi goes out? They claim there is a battery backup, but I'm seeing reports that they die frequently. Almost no details have been provided, and the reviews of the app I'm guessing I'll have to use are pretty damning, including tracking your information and selling it to third parties.
If they don't let me opt out of this, then moving may be the next step.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think I am starting to really feel the impact of working on mostly Holocaust related materials since February 2020
I believe it, Shir. I worked for an international healthcare organization during the height of Ebola, and even though my job was in an office in Boston, it was still brutal! It's a lot to carry with you, even if it's not directly affecting you.

Since my job is on a slightly off cycle, I am only just now avoiding writing my self evaluation. I have started on some peer evaluations, though! And I'm strategically putting off writing my team's evaluations. Good times.
