Won the ‘Above and Beyond’ award at work this month. I should feel good, proud even. But imposter syndrome says no and the thought of having to interview for the newsletter has me nonverbal at work the last 2 days… Please just let me do my work and give me a raise next time🥹

Today 43 Republicans voted to keep insulin at $1200/mo instead of $35. Tomorrow every Republican will ask you to be outraged that gas is $5 instead of $3. In the GOP world, $1200 for life saving insulin in fair play but $5 for gas is an outrage. Vote them all out.

I’m just tired. My 20s being consumed by COVID, monkeypox, inflation, a recession really, and who knows what else to come. I’m tired of having to suppress all of this to push forward. You try to make the best out of it but can only do so much

over 3,000 cases of monkeypox in the united states and we still not shut down????
