Two Sleeps Until My Puppy Comes Home And It Hit Me This Morning That, Despite The Numerous Books I've Consumed, I Am Nowhere Near Ready. 😳
Lovelies! Happy Wednesday! May your inbox be manageable, your coffee perfectly prepared, your patience for nonsense expertly calibrated to make your work doable, and your day designed to allow you to take some well-deserved breaks, outside or in.
TO THE INTERNET
Let’s start off with a super scary story / reminder that every single one of us is vulnerable to terrifying scams - stay safe out there! 'He held me hostage with no gun but with his words': The phone scam gaslighting therapists (San Francisco Chronicle)
Meanwhile, this story is straight bonkers / I look forward to it being adapted into a movie (and also, I’m available to impersonate executives on conference calls for the right price [FOR LEGAL REASONS, THIS IS A VERY BAD JOKE AND I WILL IN NO WAY COMMIT SECURITIES FRAUD.]): Goldman Sachs, Ozy Media and a $40 Million Conference Call Gone Wrong (The New York Times)
Welp, yet another reason we need government vaccine mandates: New US travel report says unvaccinated families are more likely to visit theme and water parks (The Points Guy)
About time: YouTube is banning prominent anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content (The Washington Post)
And finally, if you read one thing today, let it be Charlie Warzel’s meditation on the uniquely saturating anger this country is experiencing as we continue in this public health crisis as the unvaccinated minority push our hospitals and health systems to the brink - again. Like Warzel, I am angry that Hot Vax Summer disintegrated into Here We Go Again, Will This Ever End Fall. Like Warzel, “I sit here stewing over wasted months and lives”: What Do We Do With All This Rage? (Galaxy Brain)
You’re swell. Take a deep breath, drink some water, be kind to yourself. You’ve got this!
