A grey cat sits on the floor and chews on the corner of a cardboard box. He looks silly.

Pool deck of a cruise boat. People are lounging around a pool. There is a banner that says "Andrew McMahon's Holiday from Real"

Hello from a boat! I'm going to be On A Boat In My Flippy Floppies for a few days. Hope there is still a world to come back to I guess? Anyway, peace out!

I like to think that maybe I brighten my CPA's day when I send him my documents for my taxes, I have very simple taxes now that I don't freelance anywhere, I simply do not want to learn how to do them. Maybe it's nice for him to have a little break as a treat.

I'm getting on a boat to toodle around the Caribbean later today so if we all get launched into a nuclear war while I'm away, it's been great, thanks for making me care about dumb car boys or something

Love waking up, looking at the news, and deciding I've already had enough of that.

recalling when I worked at the flight school and a wayward turtle walked onto the runway and a pilot said so, then a guy in a golf cart went out there, moved the turtle, and radioed "the turtle has been revectored", a phrase that has been seared into my brain for life

I'll do it. I will fire tens of thousands of ICE agents. I will fly around the country like George Clooney and Anna Kendrick in that movie, just firing people all day. Except instead of it crushing my soul each ICE agent firing will bring me joy.

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast.

They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

There’s definitely something poetic about the US Women’s hockey team having dinner with Stanley Tucci in Italy & partying with Flavor Flav in Vegas while the men’s team eats burgers with half the Epstein List.

If you would have told me Dan Radcliffe, Robert Pattinson and Harry Melling were the actors making the most interesting post-HP career choices, I don't know that I would have believed you.

I am amazed, though shouldn't be at this point, how often I have to explain "risk" and "not getting sued" and "you might be personally liable" to a partner, who then does not believe me because I am some combination of young/woman/not a lawyer until I get our general counsel on the phone

"I thought the joke was distasteful & unfortunate, & I think the way women are represented, it's a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats. Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior? It's not my responsibility."

I've been regularly refreshing that thread just waiting to see someone who I know I have a file on and have asked to be, like, just even 5% less shitty to the associates.
