Still $131/$950—$819 needed to close the gap for rent, due Oct. 1! Hard work on my health’s starting to pay off, but staying housed is essential to my achieving stability. Your help means I keep making progress toward *being* a helper again. Cashapp/Venmo: Elsthere

HELL YEAH GET EM
Statement from Mayor Cantelmo on Campus Sexual Violence & Future Community Safety
Late last week, I learned of the heinous and sickening allegations made against the Cornell students who, according to a former undergraduate student identified as Jane Doc, drugged and brutally raped her at the Chi Phi fraternity house. Despite the severity of these crimes, Cornell University administrators and police failed to contact or coordinate any response with the Ithaca Police Department. Furthermore, the University failed to hold the perpetrators to account. This is a miscarriage of justice and continues to pose a significant threat to students and residents who may be victimized at unsafe and under-monitored on- or off-campus student events.
Given this appalling response from university administration, I have no choice but to declare a new policy directive and corresponding Common Council resolution, implementing an immediate moratorium on all student event and special event permits, including, but not limited to Greek life and other student group gatherings, until such time that the University conducts an accounting of its protocols to prevent and prosecute crimes of sexual violence and publicly releases new standards and practices to keep our community safe.

I’ve read a version of this in one of Bradbury’s collections, but this telling is even better. Maybe read it if you love Bradbury and need the good kind of tears. Definitely read it if you need a lightning bolt of wonder to recharge your heart.

Untreated ADHD is such an unwelcome extra hurdle. I have an alarm set to remind me to eat, but kept snoozing it to finish editing the short article I was on. Became increasingly shaky and anxious, yet failed to connect the two for most of an hour. 🙄

Every time I have NewJeans’ “How Sweet” playing in the background, I mishear “it’s like biting an apple” as “it’s like fighting an echo.” I concede the latter doesn’t make sense in context, but I think it still fits in a breakup/love-gone-wrong song. And it makes my brain itch in a good way.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.
