Leave the chainsaw. Take the pizza.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Heh
I think I might compromise with fast food tonight and order a pizza after chainsawing tomorrow. That seems more responsible.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also? I got a prescription for sleep last month, but it's actually an antidepressant, and I think it's working! On both fronts, honestly.
Pizza, sleep and antidepressants? You hit the Trifecta!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I read "prescription for sleep" and honest to God thought your doctor pulled out the prescription notepad and just wrote "GET SOME SLEEP" on it.
Drugs are better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My old doctor probably would have done that one.
-t, I think you can have pizza!!

I had Chicken Express and it was good. Tomorrow is another day when I can have pizza

I'm not sure, but it seems like it would be a big difference having one on your own home versus your rental apartment.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
askye, I'm so sorry you have to deal with all of that. I hope that you can move relatively quickly.
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.
Yeah, it took me a while to understand what it does to me - especially because I blamed most of it on the pandemic. But a definite sign was when I saw the final letters parents sent to their non-Jewish friends, trying to hide their 5 year old kid in a monastery under a catholic identity. The last letter was written from the train when they were deported to Poland (and it worked. The kid survived. But the parents didn't). I saw my colleagues' reactions when I showed them that letter, and realized that I was numb because all I could come up with was "oh, yes, readers would love to see this". I am on a waiting list for mental health sessions on secondary trauma - but it's a long one. I've been waiting since June 2021. I do have another archive which will require processing of adjunct subjects (intellectual history of fascism), but I will absolutely prioritize staying away from processing war/genocide related material after this.

Our wings are not tired.
That is rough, Shir, but that you have recognized the toll it is taking on you is huge. Not realizing it would be worse. May you find a method of self care. {{Shir}}
