I recently saw a clip of a conversation between Jennifer Garner and the professor Adam Grant. She asked about what a mentor should say to mentees, and he replied, "I have high expectations for you and I know you can achieve them." It felt like something unlocked in my brain after I heard it.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit.
Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear.
Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.
