Not even from NYC and Iβm partying about it. This is such a wonderful precedent π
I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment
thatβs awful for a 3:3 π
Some summer highlights from the last four weeks:
πͺ‘ one new tattoo
πΌ one fun and winning roller derby tournament
π one summer session almost done
π one trip to Cincinnati in the books
π· one successful surgery and recovery
π± 30+ thriving garden plants
So far, so good. π
Been quiet here for a few weeks. Mostly thatβs because Iβve been busy and overwhelmed with summer classes and conference travel! But I promise that Iβm hanging in there and finding rest. β₯οΈ
BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.
This is a major win for public health.
We can all save Bluesky if we put on the best darn talent show this town has ever seen
i want a covid booster tbh

So all this is to say:
When youβre managing a team or collaborating, aim to be mindful of expectations everyoneβs been given (and the ones youβve handed out). Be mindful of everyoneβs agency and autonomy to succeed and learn. Mistakes and growth need to happen. And my therapist was right π
Unfortunately I donβt know if I can talk to this person about it? (But sure, Bluesky, you can have it!)
I get that intent β impact is part of this (that person was not trying to break me down), and while the gesture to help was thoughtful β¦. There was an expectation given to me, then taken away without my consent, and it left me feeling overmanaged and helpless. Just this big π€
This week, someone tried to do something nice for me and it really wasnβt at all. I wonβt get into details bc #vague: but it was a task I was given and needed to do, but it was repeatedly taken away & micromanaged to be βhelpful.β I couldnβt succeed. I had no agency. You know the feeling.
I think β¦ I think sheβs right? Lemme elaborate with a good old fashioned vaguebook.
Letβs say you are doing a task (or something) for someone. Then, without your consent or knowledge, that person (or someone else) suddenly completes or take away the task with minimal or no communication.
My therapist says that can take away agency & create a feeling of helplessness or emptiness.
Been thinking about something my therapist said awhile back thatβs living rent free in my head and I think sheβs onto something - and I need to get this off my chest - π§΅
