All Federal DEI Employees Will Have Email Access Suspended And Be Placed On Leave Wednesday By close of business Wednesday, every single diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) office within the federal government will shut down; email accounts will be suspended.

The Trump admin has ordered all federal DEI workers to be placed on leave, with plans to end programs by Jan. 31. DEI websites & social media to shut down. WH says it’s a move toward “merit-based” governance. Is merit-based the new word for white?

Blazerific, you are terrific.

Your loss, sweet girl, is so fucking heavy. You were not a fur baby, you were a fur soul mate, a weighted blanket, an emotional support queen, a wise one, a mouthy, opinionated, personality unmatched.

Thank you, for...being.

Pt 3:
One of the puppies goes to her new home tomorrow so I was cleaning up my house (mind numbing) and then my vacuum turned off and wouldn't turn back on. No matter what we tried.

Got a new vacuum. My eyes hurt. I took a nap to stop hurting.

Then I saw the salute coverage.

Fuck today.

When I finally got myself to a relatively calm-ish state, I found a message saying my aunt also passed.

She was beloved. Firey, saucy, rough around the edges but pure gold hearted. Salt of the earth, good.

I have cried off and on all day. My ex didn't answer when I called to ask about burial.

Is this important to you? Probably not, but I need to scream into the void.

Jan 19th was the 1st day of Trumps presidency

I woke up to a message from my ex wife saying our dog had passed in her sleep. It took me over an hour to catch my breath & slow down my crying.

What was great about tiktok was that if you couldn't read, we would all rally and help you learn, not tear you down for something that likely wasn't your fault. Empathy and emotional intelligence mattered there.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

I smell a setup… the Bitedance CEO will be at Trump’s indoor inauguration and then watch… Tiktok and Capcut will pop back on, and Bitedance will hail King Donald as a hero. The fix is in, fam…

People are messaging me saying Zuck bought TikTok, and they’ll never go back. Meanwhile, I’ll be on YouTube clicking every Facebook and Insta ad I see just to cost Meta money. Play the long game, folks.

SUM41 -Fat Lip always reminds me

I dont want to sound sacrilegious or anything, but "where were you when the world stopped turning" keeps playing in my head thanks to the ban, and the answer might be: on LF selling my titty pics. Or, not. Who knows. *hint* It's me, I know.

I downloaded it all and will delete it in a bit but now I found out my aunt is dying and fb is my only way of getting info rn, but I'm working on that too.

Mink?
Ferret?
Fisher?
Not sure any of these are the terms youre looking for.

Closing out Meta accounts today, I have been on Insta since Aug 1st, 2012 and FB since Jan 2nd, 2008. It stings a little, ngl
