Some brilliant and unwavering GOOD NEWS for those of us here in the Emerald City. I am so very glad I got to vote for Katie Wilson, and even happier she will be our new Mayor. Huzzah!

I nominate you to Sainthood. May you be honored in every library you've ever walked.

Local organization and community building, growth, and support, is the only way we are going to get through this authoritarian nightmare. It is going to be very hard. There is no simple or easy way out. The Top-Down salvation mode is not allowed. It doesn't meet the profitability threshold.

Pardon me, but how did your port those away from Audible? Asking to save a large collection before i bail.

All of the emotions, but no names, no recognition, no guidance in how to navigate them. We are in no way lacking emotion, that is Partriarchy speaking. Gaslighting on an epic scale. One could argue men are more emotional than women; the lack of knowing our emotions or how to function through such.

Because anger is the only emotion safe for men to feel (as we are taught). See how it makes us powerful and manly? We are rage addicted to hide from the myriad other emotions. Not rejected, devastated, lost, heartbroken, grief stricken, lonely - dear gods so lonely - nope. Just all anger to hide in.

Let us talk of fear. To even think of fear is forbidden, and unmans us. So many fears. Not being seen as a man. Being laughed at by a woman. Not being seen as virile by other men. Not masculine enough, tall enough, strong enough. Pull women enough. Fear of fear. THEN, we turn all of that to anger.

Maybe you forgot to sign your ballot, or your signature didn't quite match the one on record. If you received a signature challenge letter and have questions, we have a web page for that.

Folks who need to resolve a signature challenge have until 4:30 pm on November 24.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

I see her actions more as positioning herself as a PowerBroker in the shambles of the Republican Party as they all try to flee and hide from the accountability train. I am guessing that this is also what quite a few "Moderate/Centrist" Dems are planning as well.

Abolishing ice and prosecuting those ICE officials and employees who commit these crimes must be the baseline for the Democratic Party going forward. Anyone who does not adopt this basic stance is OK with you or your neighbors being kidnapped by masked men and must be driven from political life.

Republicans have officially caused the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

Folks aren’t getting paid, families are wondering if they'll have food on the table — and now they’re closing off airspace right before the holidays. (1/2)

Can we PLEASE move out of the Onion universe? This is 4 days of court time. 4 gods forsaken days!

Harvard Gazette: Gazette: “You are the mother of two In ten years you have produced three novels and two short-story collections. Can you talk about your process and how you manage work and family?” Groff: “I understand that this is a question of vital importance to a lot of people, particularly to other mothers who are artists trying to get their work done, and know that I feel for everyone in the struggle. But until I see a male writer asked that question, I am going to respectfully decline to answer it.”

It’ll happen a lot more with ranked voting

Well. Today has been a pretty damned good day and a bit of a restorative to my soul.

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.

The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.

They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

This rant has been brought to you by the 9th job today listing a job title hiding the fact it is a commissioned based sales gig.

I am not sure if this lack of cohesion, consistency, and reason is directly tied TO the actiona taken by this Administration over the last 10 months, or if that has been a alow creep. But I can say, that w3 deserve better than this. I shouldn't desperately need a therapist to navigate a job search.

lack of any sort of transparency in the process, defined roles for titles are laughably unaligned, and expectations of required qualifications for nauseatingly low pay is infuriating. I've only been baxk at this for 2 weeks, and I want to scream at least once an hour, WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK IS THIS?

been 16 years since I left working in the private sector, and I can't believe how unhinged simply looking for a job has become. Fighting scammers and data thieves while trying to find any kind of job that pays anything remotely descent is humbling at best and utterly dehumanizing at its worst. The

Day 34 of Govt shutdown. Second full paycheck unpaid this week (partial one at beginning of October). This is problematic. However, I would like to rant about the terrifying hellscape of job hunting in the modern world. Buddah wept, this is frustrating and cumbersome in a way I do not remember. Its

31 Days and the SotH still won't convene. If we were civilized, his abdication of responsibility would be grounds to strip him of his title, and removed from the house. Note, nary a peep. This is what I mean when I say, the problem isn't just Trump. The corruption is ubiquitous.

AI used to.perpetuate racism? Shocked I am not. Who is surprised? Every gods-rotten thing in this country for 400+ years has been utilized to feed the ignorance of, and fan the flames of hatred of racism in this country. More racist shenannigans, must be Tuesday.

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

99 problems and they've all been assigned Fibonacci numbers and added to the backlog.

Yes. I have constantly written about this as to other branches — www.lawdork.com/p/trump-is-s... — and institutions — www.lawdork.com/p/law-firms-... — over this year. It's appalling. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-weak...
