No one is ready to discuss this, but at what point will someone consider that if Covid impacts the brain. Perhaps this marked uptick in violence is not occurring in a vacuum, given that most Americans have had Covid.

People are truly angrier and more aggressive.
There's also the fact that increasing numbers of Americans are detached from their humanity and the humanity of others.

People are getting killed for turning around in the wrong driveway or ringing the wrong doorbell.

Sure, there's Fox, but people are rewired now.
The fact that so many think #JordanNeely being killed is justified speaks to something being very wrong with people.
We are so ready to move on from Covid, but I fear we've downplayed the true impact as we continue to learn more about the long-term impact.

It's a reminder of how little Black Lives Matter. He was seen as a nuisance. The white man stopped the nuisance. I'm not surprised at all. Despite the "education" things have changed very little.
I understand the deceased Black man struggled with his mental health and the white vigilante was a former Marine. So both men were proud not well. Except one man lost his life and the killer's privilege will probably protect him from consequences.
People are very angry in today's world.

Having received far more resumes than anticipated for a virtual assistant position at @CCIBoston. Yet hearing of chronic employee shortages, I'm gonna say people don't want jobs where catching Covid and dealing with violence are factors.
I purposely didn't post the position on any job board. Just my social networks and our organizational newsletter..

People, it has been bananas! At the same time, very few resumes for our bookkeeping assistant position that requires being in the office 1x a week.
That said, I can't interview 30+ people and still get my job done. I have one more first interview this week, and have already started scheduling 2nd interviews.

I felt bad about 2nd interviews after reading Twitter people thoughts but our work requires trust.

Gen X, as we lose more elders, the closer we get to the front pew of life.
For many Gen X peeps, we still don't quite see ourselves as the adults in the room, but we are well into our 40's, and 50's. It's time to think about what our legacy will be. We are the last generation born into an analog world, though that shifted for us.

What's our mission?
What will the younger generations say about Gen X when our earthly departure time arrives?

Who are our greats? Who is the Gen X Harry Belafonte?

We talking about blue checks on Twitter, but the reality is that blue checks on all these platforms are now available for a fee. Therefore verification everywhere is meaningless IMO.
I actually applied for IG verification but because I don't have my full government name on my account and unlike how verification used to work here, there's no way to even explain my work, professional name, etc. So they rejected me.
That said, anyone with $14.99 a month, and their government name on their IG account can now get verified.

It's all bonkers.

If you read my most recent blog post, you read that I've been dealing with some low-grade depression.

Life finally got to me. Too much shit, not enough support. Everyone in my support circle is hip deep in their shit. My own therapist took a sabbatical.

Anyhoo...(1/2)
The fog is starting to lift. I'm scheduled now to see both my doctor and therapist soon. (She's returning to practice next month)

But today, for the 1st time in a month, I did a yoga class. Immediate tears and relief on the mat.

It's a baby step, but it felt good.
Choosing to talk about this bout of depression publicly was not in my plans. Until I had a conversation with a younger Black woman in my life, and I mentioned it, and she was truly surprised. I realized as BW that we mask so well that people truly don't grasp our lives.
