It's not a bad sentiment (below), though.
For the evening crowd - I forgot to mention: some 30-odd years after his tour, Dad had surgery to cut (yet more) shrapnel out of his back and legs. This was just before 9/11; he used to set off metal detectors in airports - and he was very, very glad that he had it removed when he did.
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

"What is the purpose of writing? For me personally, it is really to explain the mystery of life, & the mystery of life includes, of course, the personal, the political, the forces that make us what we are while there's another force from inside battling to make us something else.” -Nadine Gordimer

Both would likely be good. A little of column A and some column B. Burnout is real.

For my US friends, and everyone else. Resistance is also resistance.
Same.

cool fun facts include that vaginas do not have an internal temperature of 350 degrees, nor a PH of 1. What a world to be in.
I like that you tried and it may not be perfect. (I bake a lot and frankly, there is a not-zero percentage of disasters, even after 20+ years.)
The insurance companies taking down their C-suite web pages really don't understand how the Internet or public filings work, do they
It's ok to take care of yourself.
It's ok to get some rest.
It's ok to become a lonely lighthouse keeper and spend your days cursing the sea and your nights gently going mad as you write an unending novel about ghost cats.
Surround yourself with the kind of people who treat the Oxford comma like the wondrous beauty that it is.
I cackled so hard when I saw this yesterday. The kids are alright.
No you're spending a lazy Sunday with your partner watching Inspector Ellis. I would very much like to be her when I grow up.
