@maxgbowman I feel this so much, I woke up an hour ago with excruciating cramps and am going to have to either call in sick or request WFH. It's the first day of the semester so the optics aren't great, but maybe if the summer hadn't been so relentless, my health wouldn't be so poor rn.
You have the right to go to work and not worry about who’s
*talking about you
*plotting against you
*lying on you
*ignoring you
*setting you up to fail
*silencing you
*sabotaging you
*degrading you
*misunderstanding you
*misquoting you
*stereotyping you
*erasing you

Not having to defend the entire community when someone from the group commits violence is a privilege not afforded to marginalized people.
Resist the urge to flatten the narrative. Let complexities be complex, and remember we get to be human, just like everyone else.
Any act of violence is horrific. When it is a hate crime, it adds despair, rage, & fear. The AAPI community is concerned it’s a hate crime because we live under this threat daily. When it is *not* a hate crime, are we relieved? I’m not so sure. For me, the horror remains.

@annehelen I started my subscription because of the subscribers only threads and wanted to read the full archive and there was a sale for some reason, maybe it was like a percentage off a full year's subscription? And now I use the Discord for everything so I can't imagine stopping.
There are things that no one talks about after leaving a toxic workplace or toxic team 🧵.
-the period of decompression you go through
-the bad habits you have to unlearn
-the closure that you never get
