The graphic video showing a woman being burned alive on the NYC subway while the suspect fans the flames & a cop casually strolls by is the most depraved & horrific thing I’ve ever seen. And that someone recorded it to put all over Al Gore’s internet for every Tom, Dick & Harry to see is sickening.
My New Year’s resolution for 2025 is to embrace the fact that I’m a pen-and-paper calendar person, no matter how hard I try to be an Outlook calendar person.
“nonsense” as in “unacceptable/objectionable behavior”
Indeed, there’s nothing amusing about sexual harassment.
If the Depp-Heard fiasco didn't, the Blake Lively smear campaign should drive home an important media literacy lesson that I'm afraid many are missing: when it seems like everybody is suddenly talking about something, consider the possibility that the viral moment was engineered.
The Blake Lively lawsuit is for every woman who’s experienced some nonsense in the workplace at the hands of men.
Someone shook my hand so firmly it caused the ring I was wearing to dig so deeply into the finger beside it that it actually drew blood. Men, y’all don’t need to shake hands this firmly. Frankly I’d prefer a limp handshake over drawing blood. 😅
Will be starting the New Year on a very positive note!
It’s been almost three years since I’ve had W-2 income or employer-provided health insurance. Both of those things change in 26 days. I can hardly wait to be paid, taxed, and insured like a normal person living and working full-time in America again.
This week is our first week on Duke’s residential time-of-use critical peak pricing rates.
This week is also the coldest week of the year thus far, courtesy of two Arctic cold fronts moving through the Carolinas.
What could possibly go wrong? 🙃
Don’t be the person “circling back” at 9 am the Monday after Thanksgiving…
-One of my good friends gave birth to a beautiful baby boy today. If she can labor for 36 hours, I can sit in the dentist’s chair for 3!
-I get to eat my favorite meal afterwards!
-I get a break from work for 3 hours!
Me trying to reframe the existential dread I’m feeling over a 3-hour dentist appointment tomorrow AM:
-I get to turn on my email auto-reply!
-I get to listen to my audiobook!
-I will be so comfy with a blanket, neck pillow, and eye mask I’m bringing from home—I may as well be going to the spa!
Battery-powered lights on the trees only. No house lights. Our community is super anti-light pollution. 😅
If you need me, I’ll be listening to Kendrick Lamar’s “wacced out murals” on repeat.
Put up our Christmas trees and suddenly all feels right in the world.
My mom emailed the fam a 5-day itinerary for Turkey Day. Ready or not, here Thanksgiving comes!
I was starting to worry that AI text scamming had all of a sudden become extremely sophisticated and human-like but turns out this was just a guy I went on exactly one (bad) date with 10 years ago. And they say women are the crazy ones!
Not gonna lie, work kicked my butt this week.
Oh wow I didn’t even know you could play with 6!
Hi! Here’s my request to add me to the #EnergySky legal starter pack!
I won my weekly ladies’ euchre night for the first time ever 💁🏻♀️
Any ideas for meals that check all three boxes?
Have y’all ever fixed a meal for 7 people that is at once vegetarian, dairy-free, AND gluten-free? Yeah, neither have I 😳
🙋🏻♀️
I would love to go on just 1️⃣ little trip without getting sick after. Planes and airports are Petri dishes (duh). But also, we don’t shame people enough for flying while sick…
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
@ all my extended family members with the last name Cress who are dismayed upon learning I claimed the Cress handle on BlueSky over a year ago:
Congrats to Bluesky for being one of two candidates to reach the callback stage of our highly selective social platform selection process!
