Never talk about your inner child with your therapist before work.
I'm wrecked.

Omg!! East Bay Booksellers burnt down today!!
I *knew* I smelled something on fire when i got ready this morning! I just thought it was the smell of a wildfire somewhere.
It's, like, gutted. Down to the bricks. Nothing standing but a shell. It's amazing that nothing else burned down next to it.
Oh man. That was my bookstore.

Benson is really big.
He's sleeping next to my vintage glass coffee table and he's *bigger* than it! Are pitties supposed to be this big? Like, this tall and long? His paws are massive. What is this dog mixed with?? He's, like, as big as a lean pig.
I should stop staring at my sleeping dog.

Benson and I took a lovely afternoon walk and now we're both sleepy.
He just raised his head to give me a look as if to say: You know you, too, want to lay down on the floor and snort and fart.
Mayhaps, doggo, mayhaps.
But my Friday to-do list still has some stuff on it and the Slacks won't stop.

Eavesdropping on a colleague having a really intense phone convo about Gaza with someone.
Like, *intense*.

So we're 'protecting the children' now?
I'm naturally skeptical when pols deploy that discourse.

Does anyone remember that environmentalist lawyer who had been well known in the environmental legal field and who self immolated in a Brooklyn park in protest over US climate inaction?
I can't recall his name but I remember his colleagues and allies talking about how serious he was, how deeply he cared, and how stricken he was at the impending crisis.
#aaronbushnell 's sacrifice is part of a tradition of extreme moral outrage and protest that is meant to force us to reconsider our path.
I'm not sure the US has the integrity or moral ballast for that.

Also, autocorrect, I will NEVER spell 'monologue' 'monolog.'
What the hell is a monolog??

How do I tell recruiters I really have no interest in joining teams led by men?

Biden is a tool.
With each passing day of these Global Events, my lukewarm esteem for him (which was in the yellow zone in the first place), is now firmly in that burnt orange-almost red zone.
'Vote Blue No Matter Who' ain't gonna work on me next year.
At all.
Amy Chen has a good post about that last point.

The way Biden is talking right now, he thinks his student debt relief plan is going to push him over the finish line when it's time to vote next November.
That man is delusional if he thinks the way he's talking about Certain Global Events is going to bust a grape.

I'm in the mood for okra.
Or a really good stew.
or a pint of ice cream.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 That story makes my heart hurt. It also makes me think of my dad. For this reason alone I'm trying to figure out whether/how to buy my dad's house so the effing ghouls don't get it.

I would absolutely see Jungle on Sep 9, but certain conditions would need to be met:
I would need to sit
The venue would be no bigger than a dive bar
I could bring Benson
Only 20 people would be there.
Otherwise, looks like I'll just follow them on Insta.

Re: leaving Twitter/X (and this toot is for my #NonprofitComms folks out there):
I led my team through an exercise the other week. I asked them to rapidly list all the reasons we've heard from internal stakeholders why we shouldn't leave Twitter.
They generated a list of about 10 reasons.
Then I asked, one by one, if these statements were TRUE.
And it turns out, only 2 were true AND relevant:
Yes, we have our largest following on Twitter
Yes, connecting to Twitter is still a primary way online advocacy happens.
But even these had serious caveats: Is our following growing? No (the opposite has been happening since the Musk acquisition). Are our advocates using Twitter for advocacy? No. Are electeds engaging with us on Twitter? No.
One by one, the excuses made to stay on Twitter/X were knocked down. There is seriously no REAL reason to stay there.
No evidence-based reason, that is.

At #SundayBrunch:
Me:...and then we saw a peacock!
Bestie: Oh, you met George!
Me: What.
Bestie: George. He lives in the neighborhood now -- by Trader Joe's. The neighborhood news is that he used to live in Emeryville.
Me: Uh huh...
Bestie: But the fireworks on the 4th of July must have freaked him out. Because right after that he showed up here.
Me: What??
Bestie: Oh, yes. So he lives here now, and he roosts in a tree on that street. Around 8 pm every night, he climbs into a tree and all the neighbors watch him.
Me: He just...ascends.
Bestie: [eating her bagel] That's what they do.

It's the city. I'm not taking any chances.

I'm thinking of referencing the Montgomery Battle Royale in an email to a foundation program officer.
Hm.
I think he'd enjoy it.

I feel like I'm being gaslighted by the weather.
The forecast is 71° but it feels warmer than that. Like, being outside feels *hotter* than 71°.

What also gets me is that it took *years* for a journalist to even think about fact-checking the basic complaint.

@npub1edc…0q44 I would love to know the school districts' reasoning *why* this is in the student's best interest -- at all.
Telling how they're silent on that point.

It is stunning to me that governments, including our own, are really throwing up barriers to people protecting ourselves from Covid.
Not only is it 'you're on your own' but it's also 'you're on your own and we're going to make it as difficult for you as possible.'
