The way to do the Mamdani thing is not to copy the surface attributes of his communication pieces, it's to
1) know yourself
2) stand for something
3) understand and respect your audience

The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

Congratulate you profusely and ask you questions about being a new parent and make many positive observations. But I won't say "oh what a beautiful baby!" And typically nobody catches it because the point is to not draw attention to it, but I feel weird lying for no reason.

As someone with Limited Scleroderma and all the fun syndromes that come with it, I’m hoping for a cure this Rare Disease Day. Corny, I know, but hard times. All I’m sayin’.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

there has to be a better way than sounding an alarm every single time a deranged trump-related story drops. it's unhealthy and unsustainable. we need to find a way to stay informed without spiking cortisol and without losing sight of the bigger picture. i'm just...not sure how.
