I’m howling.

In your state, is there a minimum pay threshold for placing non-competitor clauses into contracts? And if so does she exceed that threshold? I would assume the hospital lawyers would know this, but my experience in healthcare tells me sometimes they're ignorant in addition to being evil.

Sorry to report, I'm in Wisconsin and am driving around the back roads and can't find squat. Meanwhile, my mom, in town, in KY has bright pink while her bestie across town has a bi flag shining in her back yard. I'm miffed.

With the state of things, I'm not sure Racoons Hourly and Possums Hourly are cutting it in brief distractions of joy. I need more animal accounts. Over on the bad place, I had a capybara and an alligator account, as well as a camelid account. Any animal account recs?

I think a lot about how Halloween has been fucked up for the last 5 years. At the beginning of the pandemic we put runners on our porch so we could stay well more than six feet away and still give out candy. Now we have to patrol our neighborhood for stormtroopers looking to kidnap people.

LMAO. If you think this is true of Star Trek (or any sci fi), it is because you affirmatively pushed non-male Trekkies out of your group with sexism and you should work on that.

the needs of the anxious comfortable white male doing midcentury working class drag are at the very bottom of my list right now

I totally misread this at first, thinking it was a dig at some drag queens (saw a popular queen's upcycled Carhartt outfit). Hillbilly living in a city now - I rarely judge folks on just appearance, but I will judge you for driving a sparkly clean big truck, that has no dents when living in a city.

I realized I was going to pay 50% of yarn cost in duties, when buying from a favorite shop in Copenhagen. Looked at ordering it from in the states, and it still wound up being more. Taking a chance it won't go through UPS 🤞🏻

Okay, I'm a nurse, and that made me scared and nervous

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

According the victim's attorney, body camera footage captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good.”

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Literal Grey information war being waged by fascist ground forces in the first stage of full scale invasion and military occupation of an American city by federal fascist foot troops.

I recognize that no harm is less likely, but purposely letting people be bait or a sacrafice? That's the grossness. Us white folks aren't being used as bait. We have how many months till SB - time to plan a better tactic and mitigate harm (you appear white in the photo, apologies if I'm wrong).

People being harmed is productive? This is a really gross take. It's just as gross as CK's comments about some children dying to protect second amendment rights.

The sort of people the administration calls 'terrorists' :

"[the 84 year olds] were rushed by federal officers “for no apparent reason.” She said her husband was leaning on his walker and wearing his Vietnam veterans cap as he was pushed to the ground."

This is evil.

After Declining to Give Trump a Sword for King Charles, a Museum Leader Is Out

Very Trump-era story.
1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum.
2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property!
3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property.
4. The person who did the right thing was fired.

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night.

All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

oh my god if I did 7 loads of laundry and the rapture happens I'm gonna be so---
