Yesterday after work I was in a virtual union Women's Conference event, designed to encourage more diverse engagement and running in local politics, and one speaker kept calling us "Comrades". It hit struck a heretofore unfelt yearning to a surprising degree.

Wonder how much trouble I'd get in if I changed my work signature from "best regards" to "in solidarity"? Might be a public service to better express just how hair-triggered I am this year to both help and die on any hill.

An observation: both the solicitor firms we've been dealing with (one to renew the lease, one to sue about the pipes) had quite extensive and clauses in their contracts with us about the responsibility of their clients to respond quickly to emails.

Both firms send nigh-unreadable emails with such poor grammar and spelling that, combined with their many attachments, gmail interprets them as phishing scams and banishes to spam or quarantine.

Coincidence?
