Do you ever randomly get mad at people for something they did 20+ years ago? Not new discoveries, I mean like you're just doing your thing, and all of a sudden you're fuming over some slight from 2001?

Isn't it illegal to make these things retroactive? Oh wait, I forgot who we were talking about.
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.
And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

I know we feel hopeless and helpless, but there are things we can do. We can help our fellow humans who need to eat! Donating to a food bank is a great way to do this, and Charlotte is nearly halfway to her new goal of $5000, which will buy *50,000* meals.
hey friends. I’ve joined over 60 other content creators on a team for @feedingamerica.org. $1 = 10 meals, meaning even a single dollar donation will help de-enshittify the holidays for hungry families. give if you can, boost if you can’t. thank you! ❤️💪 teamfeed.feedingamerica.org/participants...

Update: after 49 minutes, the surgeon finally connected to the consultation Zoom call. After waiting another 41 minutes for him to unmute and turn on his video to actually start talking to us, we posted this message in the chat and hung up. I'm not super confident about this surgery now.

My surgeon is almost 45 minutes late to my 30 minute consultation. This bodes well.

I stop my pain medication tomorrow so it's out of my system by the time I get surgery in a couple of weeks. Then I can't have it for another couple of weeks after because it would increase bleeding.
It's going to be a long November.

20 years ago, my quiet friend asked if I liked him as more than a friend, and my response was one of the best yeses of my life. We've been through a lot, ups and downs, and even sideways, but that spark has never gone out. I love you so much honey. Here's to the next 20 years. ❤️

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.
