This is entirely OT and my apologies for it but I can’t hold it in.

DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE

I think your feelings are completely justified. I think you’re making it worse for yourself by giving in to the guilt.

Maybe she’s not ignoring you because she’s overwhelmed but simply because you’ve grown apart, or because you have created a dynamic in which you’re the strong, supportive one who has her life together and she’s always in distress and eventually that becomes very tedious for both parties.

It’s so fucking satisfying to hear her calling out the hypocrisy and non-evidential citing of wives and daughters in these kinds of statements. 

Since these mediocre white men have failed upwards their entire lives, I’ve found that they completely lose their shit when met with ANY level of polite pushback, for any reason on any subject.

it seems Rapoport also needs education on how to not talk down to people as a matter of simple civility/diplomacy.

of all the hills to die on, this dude chooses “brown face”? and sends all these snide emails? jesus

“Unsure of what Carlson’s plans are, I raised my toilet’s lid and screamed “WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY” down into the pipes where the Fox News anchor is rumored to summer.”

Because Booker is among the people who think that civility and decorum need to be maintained in the face of horrible disrespect for both the democratic institutions of the US and humanity in general.
