I bet this actually meant a lot to him. Sometimes it's hard to remember "oh yeah I'm actually meeting those goals I set years ago."

I'm still borderline, I still have chronic suicidal ideation, especially when something pops into my head that was dumb even as far back at middle school. But then sometimes I'm like "oh wait remember 10 years ago in the state hospital when you were like "I bet I could do this better" and now you've been a nurse for five years and working in mental health for 10 and this job asked if you wanted to be their crisis deescalation teacher for the location and respond to psych emergencies on the med units 6 months in? And one of those nurses says she worries less when you show up? Remember four years ago when you had a psychotic person in restraints who cleared up and wrote you a daisy nomination?

I feel like every once in a while this guy has to be reminded sir, you are an astronaut.

You're killing the game, homie. I'm proud of you.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

I'm proud of you ❤️

This is amazing and inspirational. You do great work. As someone who has been hospitalized for mental health issues more than once, I've witnessed first hand the incredible impact (positive and negative) people in your line of work directly have on the lives of others. Thank you for being a reason that others can go on to be an astronaut.

If it helps, those cringe moment you have of something you did in the past? That means you've grown past it. You're able to see that behavior in yourself and recognize it as a cringey moment because you're a better person than you were then. Yeah, it sucks to have those, but take it as an indicator that you're doing just fine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Me, too. I'm proud of you. You've come so far and you still have lots left.

It's been on my calendar and I couldn't remember why.

Did not expect to see my hometown mentioned on the Internet randomly ever.

Unless they were mentioning Liberty University, where the evil Falwells still reign, may their entire family's days be short. That place is always doing something.

Oh Lynchburg, what a lovely name. Wonder why it's named like that.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

It’s named after the founder Lynch, Who was an abolitionist no less, not after lynching.

Very cool he’s from there

Upon reading his article he even freed a slave that he thought killed his son. Freeing them mid 1780s is super progressive for the time.

Reading further, his brother Charles Jr. Lynch might be where the term comes from. Upon reading more it seems the term comes his free use of imprisoning Loyalists during the Revolutionary war without support of the law. Then he was worried about getting in trouble for this so he asked the Continental Congress to pass Lynch’s law to forgive it.

Maybe the term later was construed to me taking the law into your own hands by killing enslaved or freed black people?

~~So if this is true, John Lynch, good Lynch, founded Lynchburg. Charles Lynch, bad lynch, termed extrajudicial killings, of mostly enslaved black people. Diverse family.~~

Was making a joke, but kinda glad to be corrected.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

I spent some time reading further into it and expanded since you commented.

Thanks for sharing I didn’t know he was from there!
