For goodness' sake, take care of yourself. I have known too many reporters over the years who forget to eat. Don't do that. Never work hungry. Remember your snacks.

Go for walks. Exercise.

And don't drink too much to relieve stress. It's stressful enough to do this job without doing it hungover.

Finally, when you start feeling worn down, remember your purpose. People need journalists now more than ever.

I'm not your mom, but I'm a mom, and I like y'all well enough. And you're doing great, buddies! Hang in there.

You stole this from me, didn't you?

Tanks mucho. I strongly agree.

Did you post something similar??? I didn't see it!

sisyphus43.bsky.social•11 days ago

I have now. I've said similar things in the past but not so succinctly and well written in one convenient thread. I'm accusing you of clairvoyance.

That might be confused for witchcraft so tread carefully. 😁

I'll just add it to the list of offenses of which I've been accused!
