In a development somehow both unsurprising and sudden, I had to go on a medical leave from work. Unpaid.
Immediately told our couples therapist “The only thing worse than not making my own money is being dead”

The longer I live the more weird positions I accumulate. "People should not be allowed to trade stocks" isn't popular but it's definitely true

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.

In an Uber. Driver having loud phone conversation with someone in Spanish. A little annoying, but it happens. He hangs up. Says, “Mi hermano. La Migra.” And starts weeping.

It’s so cute to see everyone having fun with this,you might enjoy the other story about Covid this morning, about a young mom with long covid who killed herself, possibly partially because her husband describes it as her being “obsessed” with her health and “refusing” to get out of bed. Funny, yeah?
