Perhaps it would be better to look for once in awe at what is here, not with great learnedness but with warm understanding.

#makesensemess
Sensemaking has a shadow side: 1. Identify the Mess 2. State an Intent 3. Face Reality 4. Choose a Direction 5. Measure the Distance 6. Play with Structure 7. Prepare to Adjust 1. Never Identify the Mess 2. Adopt Someone Else's Intent 3. Refuse to Face Reality 4. Don't Choose a Direction 5. Never Measure the Distance 6. Stop Playing with Structure 7. Forget Things Will Change

They misspelled "nationally recognized sex pest and disgraced former U-M president"

Naturally a U-M that chooses to deny healthcare to trans kids also chooses to spotlight and rehabilitate the reputation of a sexual harasser (not to mention shitty tip leaver)

The rewards For Schlissel, a nationally recognized biomedical researcher, seeing the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion open its doors is a gratifying moment. "During all my years as U-M president, the ability to positively influence our health system was one of the most satisfying parts of my job," he said. Mark Bernstein, chair of the Board of Regents, is appreciative of Schlissel's leadership throughout the establishment of the hospital. "We are profoundly grateful to President Mark Schlissel. This building would not be here without his extraordinary vision and commitment to healthcare," he said.
