Advocate of DEI, banter, outdoor spaces and flat shoes. I have a lot of opinions and they are my own.

Ah, lovely. Another year of wondering if I have covid or if it’s just allergies. 🙃

One of the best part of having a long-term therapist is being able to use meme language like “I’m straight up not having a good time” and they know exactly how to interpret the gravity of that statement.

@katttsimpson Let’s goooo

@katttsimpson It is…truly unacceptable.

Stay indoors. But also return in person. Wear a mask. Not that one. The expensive one, that you can’t find. Take rapid tests. Which you also can’t find. But if you find them, don’t buy them. Rapid tests don’t work. You need PCR. There are zero appointments in your area.

covid may be an airborne pathogen but it's a vascular disease that also attacks other organs and brain and i really wish public health messaging made that more clear instead of only focusing on initial respiratory symptoms

[Calli Rose Parise @CalliRoseParise]

I would also encourage people to use language like “Feel better!” when someone goes offline and greeting them with “Hope you’re feeling better. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help you catch up.” when they’re back online to avoid assuming why they’re sick.

(1/2) Reminder that capitalism (& probably our parents too) has told us we only “need” to take a sick day if we’re “actually” sick. That guidance is outdated. Sick days can also be used if you’re feeling depressed, anxious, need to do laundry that’s been piling up, etc.

[Calli Rose Parise @CalliRoseParise]

You are NOT a burden and your team/company will figure out how to cope. You also don’t owe anyone a reason for why you’re sick. If you’ll just be offline for a little bit vs. a whole day, you can say things like “I’m offline for a doctors appt from X to X am/pm”

@katttsimpson Sleep on this one.

[Calli Rose Parise @CalliRoseParise]

@katttsimpson Go to bed, Kat.

[my book is better than my tweets @MichellCClark]

“never quit” sounds great, but sometimes, you gotta quit. be willing to say, “this isn’t what i thought it was,” or “this doesn’t appeal to me anymore.” remember that you can quit “the thing” without quitting on yourself. remember that persistence and fluidity can coexist.

One of the many things I’ll never understand about Seattle is the mix of drivers who:
• Go 45 mph on the freeway (60 mph speed limit) when there isn’t traffic
• Go 55 mph on arterial roads (25 mph speed limit) when there IS traffic

Got a new work computer and chose to not log in to Twitter. The positive impact on my mental health and productivity is…noticeable.

Partner: You look cute today!
Me: Aw, thanks. I feel like I look like trash.
P: Yeah but it’s like trash-cute.
