Sometimes I wear my Memento Mori necklace to remind myself that I am mortal and will die someday. Today I’m wearing my Memento Mori necklace to remind myself that all of the terrible tyrants in the world are mortal and will die someday. It’s comforting. 💀

I will also sometimes give a bit of pill pocket sans pill as a treat, so they have positive associations.
Eirewolf 🍵 (@eirewolf.bsky.social) reply parent
If you have trouble with that going forward, my vet had a tip for me. Sometimes the nasty taste of the pill transfers from your fingers to the pill pocket. Either make sure your fingers don’t touch the pill before wrapping it in the yummy pill pocket, or wash your hands between.

Who is the “they” you’re talking about? Because there are a lot of “blue” people stuck in “red” states. Also a lot of people (like children) who don’t have agency.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. 💐 Get lots of rest and don’t try to rush back into work full-tilt even when you start to feel better. That makes recovery take longer. I wish healing for you.

Letter sent (after agonizing over it at least 17 times). Currently disassociating.
Eirewolf 🍵 (@eirewolf.bsky.social)
Having to make a difficult decision that will hurt someone no matter which way it goes. Writing a letter to explain the decision, which will likely be a surprise (it really shouldn’t be, but denial is a helluva drug). There will probably be fallout. This is not how I wanted to spend my weekend. 😞
Eirewolf 🍵 (@eirewolf.bsky.social) reply parent
I block them too. There are so many scammers that use tragedy to take advantage of soft-hearted people, and there’s no way to know who’s real. (Also there are finite resources but an infinite number of worthy causes. I donate to those I know I can trust, when I’m able.)

As many people have pointed out in the comments, the rules of etiquette/politeness are different for in-person vs. asynchronous communication. You wouldn’t write a snail-mail letter with just “Hi.”
Eirewolf 🍵 (@eirewolf.bsky.social)
For the love of sanity, do NOT just say “Hi” in a DM or text. If you’re a stranger, I’ll assume you’re a bot/scammer & ignore/block you. If I know you, this raises my anxiety level (OMG what happened / what do they want?) & wastes my time waiting for the next message. Say hi AND why you’re texting.
Eirewolf 🍵 (@eirewolf.bsky.social) reply parent
You’re taking up their time either way, and with asynchronous communication (like in text form), you’re taking up LESS of their time if you just say your piece. Niceties + Reason For Texting (in the same message) = Way Less Annoying and Time Consuming (and way more likely to get a response at all).

Eirewolf 🍵 (@eirewolf.bsky.social) reply parent
How did you fix it? Or is it one of those “suddenly it mysteriously started working properly” situations?
Eirewolf 🍵 (@eirewolf.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah. I figure that if I’m being myself and they find me off-putting, it’s probably not a relationship I want to pursue. We don’t have to agree about everything, but if we don’t click… I guess I don’t want to have to twist myself in knots for a friendship. It sounds exhausting.

It’s similar for me. I haven’t been on Twitter in years, and I don’t post here nearly as much as I did back then. I do miss your podcast. You were a welcome voice of reason and compassion. Are you still birdwatching in your yard? Got any pics? 😊
