I'm an irritated academic who is increasingly dismayed by the general lack of critical thinking skills displayed by the general public in the United States.

Not feeling great this evening. Low/anxious. Thinking of taking some sleep meds in an attempt to get to sleep earlier than 2am. Maybe improved sleep would lead to improved mood…?

@purplepadma Do whatever you need to do to get a good night's rest. It's bound to make you feel better physically at least and that's at least something, you reckon?

When SCOTUS fucks us over during the month of June, you’ll see just how DANGEROUS it is to NOT VOTE.

@StillIRise1963 ABSOLUTELY!!! Don't look at me, I vote for dog catcher, school boards, every election no matter how small. The viciously crazy types work their way into the system by going after those small elections that no one pays attention to. Sort of like getting termites only more destructive. The Women's League of Voters has a nifty one-stop-shop for figuring out what's going on in your area: https://www.vote411.org

HUNDREDS WILL DIE THIS YEAR!

‘Just brutal’: Why America’s hottest city is seeing a surge in deaths

Climbing temperatures are colliding with a lack of planning in Phoenix. Hundreds have DIED. Hundreds more will.

@Snowshadow @Free_Press If the authorities had the will to do so, they'd tax the morbidly rich at a rate that'd allow them to apply the obvious solution: build homes for the homeless. These homes wouldn't need to be fancy, just a place with sanitary facilities and perhaps something to cook with. UBI wouldn't hurt either.

How much alone time vs socializing do you need?

For me there are a few people who are usually equalizing, and I can just be around them, so I won't count that. But generally, I find about 3 times a week, I'm game for socializing. A day in between to rest is usually nice, but the larger the gathering or if we go somewhere particularly noisy or I'm meeting new people that involves more effort, and my social battery empties sooner. I'm very curious where everyone else falls on this!

@OldAndCranky @RickiTarr Scoot over, I'm in that same boat. I was actually required to entertain for many years (business stuff) and now that I'm retired... well, no thanks. I'm all socialed out.
