Probably some level of hesitation. Not really sure how true it is since I heard about this from someone that heard about it from someone else, but she had been in a toxic relationship before and it seems to have affected her willingness to commit to a new relationship. Which would be understandable, especially since there've already been guys at work who've tried to push her on going out with them.

On my part I just have whatever is going on with me (social anxiety or some other form of nd) which affects how much I open up to people. But its been slow and steady progress and to this point she seems to have be patient.

I was thinking about doing it today, but I got thrown off by all the work and just being put off my mood in general. She recently brought up wanting to go out and I've got some plans in mind. Just have to make the move.

"Needs context" aka he's wrong, but we don't want to say that.

Don't mind me, just rambling about my dayHonestly my day probably wasn't that bad. But IDK. Maybe its just my overall mood. Maybe I'm experiencing some burnout. Like yeah it was busy at work, but aside from one hiccup I actually got done with a lot of work in a short timeframe.

Maybe it was just the conversation I was having with the cleaning lady. She's nice enough, but she's also got an old school mentality. And since I was working alone today she decided to stick around and talk with me. Which is cool and I appreciate that, but at the same time it just feels like a bit much. Especially since she started talking about relationships and doing that thing where someone will act shocked at hold old you are and how you're still single. I appreciate that my mom doesn't really push me to get a relationship. But not everyone is like that and the cleaning lady was kind of pushing the point. Like I really wanted to move on from the subject and sometimes I'll kind of make a face, but I guess it wasn't expressive enough lol...luffy-exhausted

Anyway she's talked about trying to find someone for one of my co-workers and now she's talking about doing the same for me. Last time someone tired to hook me up it didn't work out. And that was with someone that I knew and had kind of liked. I'll probably tell her I'm not really interested if she's serious about it, which she probably is.

Also just felt like the vibes between my crush and me were just a bit off today. Don't know if she overheard some of the conversations I was having with the cleaning lady since she passed by my work area a couple of times while it was going on, but I didn't really make any allusions towards her. But we didn't have our good bye hug for the first time in about a month. Or maybe I'm just overthinking things like I usually do when I'm feeling a bit tired/burned out.

On the other hand it was kind of nice that a couple of her friends had also come over to talk when things had slowed down. I get along well enough with them, but we don't ever really talk all that much.

Typical freeze-peach slop fronting as defending a student who had her valedictorian speech cancelled.

Things are not well on America’s college campuses. The disgusting antisemitism that seems only to be building – and campus administrators’ lackluster response – has led to some truly frightening displays.

This is the introduction to the article, which is supposedly defending free speech. Instantly criticizing school admins for not having a strong enough response to the protests because its not like they haven't stuck the pigs on the protestors. Also "truly frightening displays" links to an article that talks about the rabbi who warned Jewish students not to attend classes in person, which itself fails to point out any "frightening displays" of anti-semitism.

Now, Tabassum may well have repugnant personal views and her speech may stoke division on campus. Even so, her academic accomplishments should not be undermined because of fears of possible violence and a speech she likely hadn’t even written yet.

Got to love how being pro-Palestine is described as having "repugnant personal views" and "stoking division on campus."

But the chefs-kiss of the article is conflating Tabassum's pro-Palestine position with some transphobe. A college decided to let the transphobe have a speech.

Gaines, who is often described in the media as an “anti-trans rights activist,” is a lot more than that. She is an accomplished former NCAA competitive swimmer who became well-known after she tied transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in the 200-yard NCAA freestyle championship race in 2022. Following that experience, Gaines has become an outspoken defender of fairness in women’s sports and speaks frequently on the issue at universities around the country.

The author seems to have a rather glowing opinion of Gaines. There's no pointing out that Gaines' transphobic views are leading schools and politicians to effectively taking away trans students' rights to compete in the sports that they love. No pointing out that she too could be "stoking division on campus" like she did in describing Tabassum's speech.

Gaines is used to attracting pushback – and even violence – on campuses, so it’s probably no surprise to her that there are factions of the Adrian community who aren’t happy that she will speak at the school. A student LGBTQ+ group started an online petition urging the college to “disinvite” Gaines. It now has more than 1,600 signatures.

Again, a very disingenuous description of something "disturbing" or "violence". The linked article just shows her getting yelled at. No one put a hand on her on either of the videos in the linked article.

“Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews,” Carano wrote online at the time, “How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”

The mayor has blamed the budget cuts on federal COVID aid ending, and the cost of the migrant crisis in the city.

Seeing this is being reported uncritically on a few other websites and on TV news as well.

The language surrounding the migrant situation is becoming more and more dangerous. It was only a month or two ago that Top Cop Adams said that the migrant "crisis" would destroy the city. Now we have the media running around putting the blame for budget cuts on migrants.

Here's a NYT article that goes into more detail on the recent budget cuts: https://web.archive.org/web/20231116210120/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/16/nyregion/nyc-budget-cuts-schools-police-trash.html
