has anyone else switched to mentally preparing for a vaccine, normal travel, and a return to the office to take at least 9 to 12 more months
My family was supposed to take a cruise in late August and I've joked we'll take it in 2025. I would also like to meet my coworkers at some point.
The reason I bring this up is because imagining this long-term scenario, or worse, would not have been great for many people's mental health, especially if they live alone or lost their job.
If you have anxiety reading this thread, I strongly recommend:
-extra sleep
-extra water
-regular screen breaks
-daily walks outside
-time with pets
-some sort of hobby
-therapy and/or medication
-logging off this website

There's a really excellent sociology paper by Yale professor Elijah Anderson on what that Central Park woman (Amy Cooper) tried to do by calling 911 on the Black birder. It's called "The White Space": sociology.yale.edu/sites/default/…
This article by @fordm doesn't reference the sociology paper, but it struck me how white people at Yale itself are still utilizing 9-1-1 to remind Black folks how the university is also "a white space":
"The White Space" was assigned during grad school and I remember almost crying on the bus to class while reading it. This sociology paper thoughtfully explained so many feelings and experiences I had but no previous name for. The power imbalance often felt when you are not white.

I worry posting some of my freelance rates will expose how many times I was underpaid and should have negotiated harder instead of just saying yes again so I could just focus on doing the work and earning the money
the reality is after my fellowship was done at CJR, I had a corporate writing client, an unexpectedly large tax return from the Canadian government, lower-than-NYC rent by staying with my family in Toronto, and some savings I exhausted paying off my credit card
At one point, I had something like $90 in my bank account. I had to plead with a bank manager to let me cash and convert some USD cheques/checks, because they are normally held for 30 days at BMO. I have not contributed much to my long-term savings in five years.

I have some opinions on this, and I can tweet them, because I don't work for @axios: axios.com/fake-news-fix-…
I'm curious about CEO Jim VandeHei's definitions of "blatant opinion", especially with the @washingtonpost is grappling with the murder of one of their columnists, the UN's urgent report on climate change, and rights for trans Americans are at risk of being wiped out completely.
Why shouldn't journalists express opinions based on reporting, research and histories of behaviour, such as politicians grossly misusing government funds, bad cover stories about bone saws, and expansions in internment camps for children separated from their families?
