I just called the support hotline for an issue I’m experiencing and the person on the other end literally just said to me (in a whispered voice) ā€œI need you to keep quiet because I need to keep my jobā€ but like… how do I respond to that?
Also… I’m thinking about being Bolson for Halloween. What do you think?
What do you mean ā€œI waste the day doing nothing??ā€ It’s not even noon and I’ve already rebuilt all five buildings in Lurelin Village after a devastating pirate attack.
That emergency alert activated the microchip in my COVID vaccine and now all I can think about is China!!
Do you ever overhear a stranger talking in a conversation and immediately just hate them for the gross stuff they are saying?
This week I’ll be doing a lecture about my work with the queer refugee community in Kenya, something that I am very passionate about and it’s been a big part of my work over the past decade. As an undergraduate course on Health Equity, I’ll only be introducing international human rights protections guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I’ve enjoyed putting together this lecture because human rights are surprisingly seldom discussed in public health education.

Update: we’ve spent the weekend talking about this and they said they are just in a really dark place, no solid plans other than ā€œending it would be easierā€. Thankfully his therapist is back from vacation this week and he is looking forward to talking to them about it. Thank you for the support masto-fam!
I just spent 30 minutes on the phone to cancel a reservation at Marriott. I had to be transferred 3 times. Why? Because I couldn’t provide my ā€œBonvoyā€ number. I’ve never stayed at a Bonvoy and I never ended that number on my membership. My Marriott number was attached to an email I haven’t used in 10 years, so I couldn’t access that. Regardless… why do I need to provide a membership number to cancel my hotel reservation? Why was that so needlessly complicated?
