Book Rec thread. I wanna post some of my 5 stars on here too so I really like remember them. First up Where Wolves Don't Die by Anton Treuer. A native kid gets in a fight with a kid at school and the next day the other kid's house catches fire.
His dad sends him to the Rez to stay with grandparents.

I watched the new ep of heated rivalry. It was so sweet and warm and lovely. Shane coming out to his family and it going okay and Ilya saying I love you first. Ack my heart. More queer sweet and warm and lovely stories on TV and film! I will accept str8 ones too, but really want a f/f pairing.

What the actual fuck? This is not okay in any way. I have had to tell my aunt that yeah your dad calls me by your name cuz he forgot you are an adult and that I am his grandaughter and confirm to my grandma that my dad was dead and hear her voice drop as she realized she had forgotten it happened.
The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

Or you know a permanent university president would be nice too. Preferably one that can keep it in his pants and not roll over every time trump snaps his fingers...

Chatted with my supervisor today. She has noticed my issues, but its not at a disciplinary point yet, so at least I am catching things in time and self aware enough to work on the problem. And she wants me to do what is best for me. I am just so so glad my department is supportive.

So we found out today in San Francisco that autonomous cars don't work in a blackout (Waymos shut down, wherever they were, all over city)
Participating in live experiments is fun! I still wish I'd been asked beforehand. But it is pretty wild and kind of cool to see them discover their edge cases.

So listening to a self help book and coming to the realization I definitely have rejection sensitivity and with my depression worse right now it is hitting way harder that usual if I see a perceived slight. And its forming a nice cycle of just making everything worse and worse.

Urgh need to not check my work email on weekends. I always end up annoyed or mad at myself over something. Maybe just log out and only have access to personal Gmail from my personal device.

The awkward moment when the office waiting room is so hot sweat is pouring off of your forehead and the treatment requires them to touch your head and face.

Things I will request my roommate leaves when he moves: the tajin. Learning i could make elotes at home with frozen corn was such a gift. Plus he used it like once so I do not believe he is attached.

Yeeep. I was once asked if I really want to die on every hill by a coworker. I was like well no, but this one is worth it. And 5 years later haven't died yet, but I have made little wins for coworkers all over the field so...gonna keep standing my ground.
I'd even go so far as to say it's the kind of thing that guys who HAVE NO BATTLES love to toss around.
"you have to pick your battles" is a thing that guys who pick zero battles say
