trying to hatch strategies that go beyond doomscrolling
I'm realizing that I need to get involved locally but I haven't figured out the how, where, doing what and with whom part of it.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

meara, she was my RA my freshman year and a housemate my junior. It's weird to see her with hair, although I think she's had it for decades.

So that was a shitty day. Hiring freeze, which means that my empty spot with a senior planner whose skills I desperately need, will not be filled (and a very nice lady in San Diego who really wants to get out of the private sector is left hanging for some indeterminate time).
The fuckers FIRED THE COMMANDANT. Claiming it was because she had too much DEI but also because she hadn't fixed the recruitment problems (which she had improved a lot) and hadn't got all the new boats on board. It's such bullshit. I'm sure it's because she's the first female head of a military branch ever.
And the Return to Office order, which nobody knows how it will play out, and my team is freaking out because most of them live hundreds of miles away.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Consuela, I’m sorry. That is a lot of badness

Ugh so sorry Suela. That sounds super shitty. Good luck.
My father was trying to tell me my sister was overreacting by calling Elon’s salute what it was. I asked why the f he thought I’d agree with him and not her. Also she’s the one who feeds him so he might wanna keep his mouth shut.
