@litherland Writing helps. But every time I open my mouth I realize how much I have to learn about tact, diplomacy, and mediation. Oof.

@CaseyG Writing helps a lot, because necessarily involves a little delay and pausing. Slight lag between input and output.

@litherland Ok. Wow. That Hot Heads article is good. Applies to everything. Zapped a frantic feeling I didn't even realize I was having.

@CaseyG Yeah, I constantly fall short. Constantly. But awareness, effort, intention — these count for something. And form new grooves.
