I have been a mom facing cancer with young children (tho much milder - and successful, so far - treatment), and I am heartbroken for her and for her kids and husband. But also for Caroline. Some people are given a truly unfathomable share of grief to carry. It makes me want to rage at the universe.

This is devastating. I am so sad for her and her kids. And for Caroline, who has known too much grief. Life is so deeply unfair. 💔

Ha! I have been laughing (and raging) with the discourse this morning while feeling like an elder because I read the Google Doc before I went to sleep last night.

There’s a Google doc that’s easy to find.
When Lizza comes out with his book (I’m sure there’s one coming), we need to vote for one Bluesky person to buy the cheapest copy and tell the rest of us what is in it

This is the part that makes it such an ethical outrage. None of them should work in journalism again.
And I get to blame them for their role in the 2024 election for eternity.

Catching up on posts and thought for a moment that this was about newly (unfortunately) outed romantic poet RFK Jr. 🥴

Thanks for the link. I am genuinely interested in the discourse here, but feel bad for joking now that I see what happened. Some big drama is entertaining, but this is not. I wish there were a way to shift this pile on aspect of online culture - to give each other a bit more grace and respect. 😔

Proposal for a Bluesky rule requiring every mention of “Big Drama” to come with a citation linking directly to evidence of said drama, mostly to satisfy my curiosity and FOMO. 👀

I loved using my netipot with warm water from the bathroom sink (20 yrs ago) until the term “brain eating amoeba” shook me to my core. (Even had a case up north here, near Seattle). Boiled/distilled water is more of a hassle - either cold or microwaving it to a *just right* temp. I need a warmer!
