This is your daily reminder that you have millions of friends and allies in the EU.
Also, laughter. To me laughter and spirit have always been closely connected, I feel alive, more hopeful, more human and even brighter when I laugh. So this is to confirm to you that you are allowed to surrender to mirth and silliness. It takes nothing away from you, and is a great way to be alive and stay sane.

I'm going to mind my own business.
But my business this week is following Black women and liking every single post they make so they can ratio the fuck out of those bastards talking about their "dark" skin tone. We have some of that here in China too and that shit is evil.

It's wild how computer programming went from exclusively women's work to "we're not sexist we just don't think women are interested in it" in like 40 years

Also, freedom of speech is also your right to choose who to listen to and who to ignore. Anyone claiming that you must listen to them because of free speech is playing you.
You're absolutely allowed to #ShrugAndBlock them. Being on SoMe doesn't mean you have to tolerate utterances you wouldn't accept in your home. Just cut out the hate-spewers. You're allowed.

Also, it's just another Tuesday and you are free to do what you usually do on Tuesdays. It may not be dramatic or life-changing but it's yours. A cup of coffee, a perfectly mundane task resolved, a phone call to an old friend. Sometimes, just sometimes, that's enough.

1/ I teach negotiation skills and so have some confidence in stating that "Should we negotiate with Putin?" is so ambiguously worded a question as to be pointless to debate.
Almost every word is open to being interpreted in wildly different ways, which means everyone ends up talking past each other or vanquishing strawmen.

There's nothing for it: they're going to have to build a time-macine.

Also, the world sometimes leaves us scared witless. It's understandable and not a sign of weakness. Personally, I'm amazed that people sometimes overcome the anxiety and try to act constructively and with courage. It brings me comfort and even in a sense joy.
