My solution to all unexpectedly naked moments is to act like I don't notice that something is amiss.

New York Times Editor’s note: “Jimmy Carter died on Dec. 29, 2024. Roughly a year before he entered hospice care, he wrote his final New York Times Opinion essay. In it, he looked back on the Capitol riot and explained why he was so worried about American democracy.”

Opinion | Jimmy Carter: I Fear for Our Democracy (Gift Article)

Even established democracies can fall to military juntas and despots. We can’t let that happen here.

Right so after several recent incidents at work it seems like it's time to tap the sign again:

Never apologize to me when your cat crashes a video call.

Your cat is perfect.

I understand that the begging for attention is not charming to you but it is to me and I wish to see your cat.

Thank you.

That’s all the “cheese bought for Christmas” eaten again. Will have to buy some more cheese for Christmas now. And then I’ll eat that too, and be required to go out to buy some more cheese for Christmas. Stuck in a Christmas cheese loop.

I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.
