I am not familiar with this outlet, so YMMV
"...Mr Lu, a Wuhan resident, recounted his harrowing experience to DuTe News. He was trapped on the Third Ring Road, an elevated highway, for close to two hours. “The car stopped directly in the middle of the road on the Third Ring Road, with large trucks speeding past on both sides,” Lu said at 10:40 PM, still inside the vehicle. He reported that the in-car SOS button was “completely useless” and calls made via the backseat screen were automatically disconnected. After finally reaching the official 400 customer service hotline, he was informed that a specialist would be dispatched. However, after waiting for nearly an hour, no one arrived. Desperate, Mr Lu called the police, who, along with Apollo Go staff, eventually reached him around 11:00 PM, allowing him to safely exit the elevated highway...."
Flailure
It’s been a minute since I bitched about my German 4 class. Y’all, I am failing so goddamn badly. Right now, I have a mid C, which I pulled out of F by turning in a single writing. But tomorrow, I have a chapter test and a chapter project due (a video review and writing). And 6 hours of chapter homework unfinished. I’m not gonna make it.
For my own sanity, I really should quit. Just stop. But I also have some sunk cost in this: 3 finished semesters with a B, and 2/3 of the way through this one. I don’t want to quit, but I also don’t want to absolutely hate myself and my performance or answer for my own failings. I’d rather just let it die naturally instead of killing it. Since this is just Continuing Education instead of school credit, it’s pass/no-pass. So I feel like a no-pass is better than a Did Not Finish.
Runners will tell you they’d rather come in last across the line as long as they cross it.
I feel the emotional, mental, and physical burn of knowing that my skills are regressing, but that I have to keep going. Have to. One chapter left. Please, no DNF.
#Deutsch #failureIt's great to see such a huge turnout for this past weekend's No Kings Rally. However, at the end of the #weekend, a friend (who works in healthcare) asked me which rally I went to. I told him I didn't attend any due to caregiving responsibilities. He asked what was so difficult about bringing our son to a rally.
So...I want to talk about #caregiving for a bit. I've mentioned here before my son is fully #disabled with severe spastic #quadriplegic cerebral palsy, is #actuallyautistic, and has significant #sensory #needs. Caregiving is physically and emotionally #brutal. It's a significant #life change that, unfortunately, a lot of #people simple do not and cannot fathom - unless it happens to them.
The best way I can describe *my* #experience is it's real time #multivariable #calculus with known, unknown, and constantly changing variables. It requires high level non-linear systems-based thinking to solve #problems, #chaos #management, and constantly being on high alert.
#Burnout is inevitable, the #physical and #emotional #labor is genuinely exhausting on a cellular level, and #time and #access to self care is rare. It's also incredibly #socially #isolating.
In addition to the #social #isolation, navigating the outside world isn't just unnecessarily difficult it's a #failure of the #system. The uncomfortable #reality is most places are NOT #accessible, including #bathrooms. #Toileting is a basic #human #right! My son is too large and heavy for the baby changing stations in "#family #restrooms." We need to put him on a #dirty bathroom floor in order to change his #diaper. Where is the #humanity and #dignity in *that*?
I feel like a broken record explaining this to him for the past six years. It's honestly mind blowing and exhausting.
From Ukraine: Considering the politics of American citizens.
Those who didn't vote at all are the most despicable and unforgivable.
By not voting against Trump, they silently supported him.
When fascism and cruelty are on the ballot, voting is a moral obligation.
All of the deaths coming from Trump's cruelty, all of the blood flowing today and going forward- is blood on their hands.
People who "don't do politics" let the whole world down.

Progress is change. That’s why so many don’t progress, be it in work, hobbies, or their personal, physical, or spiritual lives. Humans prefer to hold on to what they believe is, mostly themselves.
