Casual reminder that the myth of β€œpulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Cities thrive not on fear but empathy, on cooperation not division.

That's the NYC we know and love. It has found expression in this movement. And it is rising up at the ballot box today.

Just a light-hearted post to say while I am officially middle-aged, I can still figure out how to change mobile phone service AND replace a SIM card. 😜

My favorite scene in History Boys. Followed closely by the scene where the "general studies" teacher is explaining that GS is useless... My bachelors was in GS.

I get the feeling that they don't feel like we are going to keep having elections. I hope they aren't right.

Do you suppose getting this book and one about pig farming to just casually keep on my work desk would be inappropriate?

Yes.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Trump decided to deport Musk?

I've been watching this. And during the program, a commercial for WhatsApp came up, touting how secure they keep your private information.
I don't know who chose the ad, a human with a weird sense of irony... or an algorithm.

Elon Musk leaves the Trump administration, capping his run as federal government slasher Elon Musk has officially left the Trump White House, capping a turbulent effort to slash the federal government by the world's richest man.

Looks like Elon is getting the Hell out of DOGE.

I made a fail on a Wisdom check.
I was nine and playing hide and seek with some other kids in a construction area. I flew head first into a newly installed plumbing pipe in a pit.
I had a concussion. I puked all over my dad when he carried me to the car to go to the hospital

Work is rewarding the last couple months. I've had several projects that I've been working on aside from the routine stuff. I'm building a display for Adopt a Cat Month in June. 4 cat adoption places that have agreed to let me put up signs like this. I made templates for 3 of them.

I am in no way qualified for this job I found posted... I just want to say that "Director of Inclusion and Belonging" sounds like the best job title EVER!
