And therapy appointment’s cancelled because the provider was out of network.
Nat is in the valley of the shadow of death@natlaowai.bsky.social · yesterdayIt’s been a bad day for me. Another day when I really don’t see the reason to live. I did finally get an appointment for therapy, so maybe that could help.
An optimist would hope that the result of the botched execution in Tennessee would be that people would think “maybe this whole killing thing is a bad idea” and not “we need to get better at killing”. I am not an optimist.

Not to mention 77 million of our fellow citizens. I don’t think I’ll ever have faith in the American people again.

Not sure what it says about our world or my browsing history that when I type “Springfield” on Wikipedia, the first one to come up on the list of suggested articles is not any of the real places by that name, but rather the fictional one from The Simpsons.
Feeling so aimless right now. The job market in my field is so dried up now and I have no better career ideas.
It’s too bad we in California aren’t ready for this kind of progressive stuff Kentucky can manage. But I mean, who can blame Gavin.

Well, guess it’s official. I’m going back to school. Part time and online, but it’s still school.
I wonder if there’s a word for this… maybe a word in Dutch? Or Afrikaans?
Yair Wallach@yairwallach.bsky.social · last wk.The Knesset barred today the only two Palestinian led parties from running in the coming election. According to an overwhelming majority in the Knesset, the constitutional meaning of a Jewish State is a state where Palestinian citizens cannot run for parliament.
If only the constitution provided a process for lawless conduct like this.

Ned Resnikoff@resnikoff.bsky.social · last wk.Pretty obvious that Tucker Carlson's current play is to position himself as the leader of a new red-brown coalition united by antisemitic conspiracism.
Even more so for Shanghai Disneyland. Even with visa fees factored in.
