Big big big grief is an existential crisis and on second thought, that is a really impractical time to be looking for a job.
I sit and wonder…
Do people still hire anti-AI devs? Slow-but-thorough devs? Should I keeping dev’ing? Should I teach? *Can* I teach within my area? Is it “too DEI”?

Not survivor’s guilt, but is there a term near the realm of depression, for when any hobby at all feels ridiculous? When [the hobby] didn’t feel like that before?

That rep has a really weird way of wishing people a Happy Veteran’s Day and thanking veterans for their service
This is an Indiana State Representative. You know, the kind that gets to write and vote on legislation for the state. He’s posted racist, sexist, nazi, garbage online for years and got a DUI in 2023. I don’t get how he’s still allowed to hold this position.

I’ve been in survival mode since end of July. The felt it lift today. The exact moment. Grief this huge is odd. Like being pulled by a strong undertow. The waves are more spaced out than before, but some are still large. Random, unpredictable, sudden, some scary, some soothing.
She is my first and last thoughts every single day. Every single day, such heavy thoughts. I love to picture her smile and laugh, even though those images quickly remind me of the cold permanence of her absence.

One of the hardest parts of grief for me, so far, is change. It’s so very much everywhere right now. Cooler weather, brown leaves, emptying trees, halloween already replaced with christmas theme. Soon I’ll be 31. Then Thanksgiving. Then Chrismat. Then New Years. Our traditions. But no You.

“We need law and order restored,”
said Indiana’s chief legal officer,
the state’s Attorney General since January 2021.
“It’s shameful that the leadership here refuses to do anything about it,”
he also said.

This grief made me a different person overnight. I can feel it on a metaphysical level. There are the silver-lining-or-whatever things I guess.
But wtf am I to do with everything outside that? One example: am I now a person who publicly cries at any moment? How, after 30 years the opposite?

Over 90 days without her. How? And how is it physically possible my tear ducts still haven’t gone dry? I’ve cried more in the past three months than all of the 30 years prior. Fall is my favorite, but the season change is hard. So visibly marks the passage of time and that no one can control it.
