I’ve been told recently: “thanks for the memories imma gtfo” and I’m like “wow this month on your own must have been intense.”

I painted a thing.

Elon’s hate for USAID makes sense when you understand that the agency was instrumental in ending apartheid in South Africa.

Trump colonialism strikes again. He wants to seize Gaza and develop it for his personal profit.

Are we great again yet?

You are doing Trump’s work for him by publicly identifying this man and putting him (and his family) in danger.

watching arsenal/manchester city this morning and casually commented to the husband that "it looks like someone drew butt cheek squiggles on the backs of their shorts."

husband: "thanks, I will never unsee that."

Which federal institutions would this be? The ones which are being decimated by politically targeted firings? I can’t imagine why any Fed WOULD resist when their financial stability has been taken hostage.

I'm a retired Fed. If you are tenured (and especially if you are also union), DO NOT TAKE THIS OFFER. I strongly suspect these "buyouts" will contain fine-print language, stripping employees who are both tenured and vested of their future pension benefits. If they want you gone, make them RIF you.

About 20, maybe a bit more. I’m building a new PC for Path of Exile 2 so I’ll probably give it another shot soon.

I’ve heard that one so much that I spent my latest attempt repeating it to myself. Still didn’t help! 😂

I’ve tried to play the Witcher at least a dozen times and can’t get into it. I had the same problem with the books. The Netflix series was great, though.

*hugs*

It's so hard to prioritize the kind of self care that really soothes your soul. It feels selfish, somehow, when others are depending on you.

And the US should follow suit… but they won’t.
