A digital art drawing with a cat in three different modes with accompanying text: "rest, regulate, resistβ. Inspired by the political situation that has been unfolding in the US - protests, murders of civilians in the streets by ICE/CBP agents, and the rising fascism thatβs been taking hold here. Itβs a lot to process. Thereβs a lot of important news happening, and the term βdoomscrollingβ feels trivializing in the face of a situation that is unfolding on peopleβs doorsteps right now. Yes, itβs very important to stay aware and informed. BUT - itβs also important to be aware of the impact that prolonged acute stress can have on the nervous system. Itβs a health hazard in itself, and can result in long term heath problems, including chronic illnesses such as me/cfs. (Ask me how I knowβ¦ π) So, itβs absolutely crucial during this time to take care of yourself and, as much as possible, not get fully swept away in the stress of current events, as scary, nerve-wracking, infuriating, dangerous, and immediate as they are. Self care is not selfish. We need you at your best. #art #illustration #politics #protest #minnesota #minneapolis #iceout
Recharge. Stay hydrated. Eat a healthy snack. Breathe. Embrace moments of joy wherever you can find them.
Prolonged stress can have long term health consequences. Self care is not selfish - itβs empowering.

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.
Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome
It was weird to be taken back to that time when the pandemic started raging, but at the same time people were also being killed for dumb reasons. Have we learned anything?
So back to jury duty. Just do it. It's annoying on many levels, but important.
I vaguely remember when it happened. I'd just started watching Seattle Protest Network streams on the regular. Most of those streams are long gone now, though I felt like they belonged in the Smithsonian. The turmoil was worthy of preservation.
I feel so bad for this kid...and his father, and family. I don't think he knew what he was getting into. All parties will learn from this, I hope.
Whatever happened to lead to this outcome was in the evidence, not the lawyer's arguments, I think. And that's what truly matters.
In this case I ended up being the alternate, so I don't know what led to this specific outcome since I didn't participate in the deliberations, though I can hazard a guess. It was all so brutally sad. I am glad of the outcome.
Now that my 2nd round of jury duty is done, I wanted to post about its importance. And it is extremely important. So important that your life is kind of disrupted for a while.

This is a very broken experience, IMO. Even the AI was like WTF?
now what? any trip advisor alternatives out there? i haven't traveled in so long, i don't know how to do this anymore!
LOL I would vote for her!
After deliberating for 12 days, a King County jury has found that the city of Seattle was negligent in its emergency response to the fatal shooting of a teenager at the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP, in 2020.
I guess we're going to have an in-real-life study of how terrible measles actually is and why we need the vaccine. π
Grateful that I am still employed.

Everything feels so obviously dark and heavy. No matter how much you decide to digest whatβs going on, itβll hit hard. Super fucked up and scary times.
Take care of yourself, each other, and stay safe.π
