People being very confused and shocked about why this lady got death threats do not understand betrayal trauma, and how this was a triggering incident for millions of people.
At a Coldplay concert in July, Kristin Cabot appeared on the Jumbotron in the arms of her boss. Cabot retreated, trying to make things right with the people who mattered most. Now, for first time since that viral moment, Cabot is sharing her side of the story. trib.al/I8tWdU4

This reminds me about how the city poured a new apron to our alley, but totally screwed up the height of said apron and now I am in constant danger of careening into my neighbor's garage doors.
Chicago is a winter city & I think residents pride themselves in navigating the brutal winters. As much as the cold and winter is part of our identity, the city itself doesn’t manage winter & snow well. Right now, our sidewalks are intermittently icy w/ many alleys looking like ice rinks.

You ever look at yourself in college and realize you were stunningly beautiful and how it would have changed the entire trajectory of your life if anyone had told you that even once?

Just went to one of those tax appeal seminars through the county. It took like 5 minutes and I guess I don't want to pay these taxes is good enough reason to appeal?

Android literally forced an update that installed Gemini on my phone and rewired the POWER BUTTON to be the Gemini button. Now my phone has no power button.
