A nearly empty butter dish with a couple of smears of butter on the butter. Directly beside it on the counter is the wax wrapping of a stick of butter, a couple of teaspoons of butter still left at one end. Resting on top of both is a dirty butter knife.

Black Women Are Losing Jobs At Three Times The Rate Of Other Women | Essence New labor data shows Black women accounted for a disproportionate share of job losses across 2025, especially in federal, education, and care-sector roles.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."

๐Ÿ˜ฌYikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!

"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."

Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

#adhd morning - I got up to do five things: go to the bathroom, start the dishwasher, put in a load of laundry, print a knitting pattern, and refill my coffee. The printer was out of paper, necessitating a wide search. I sat back down feeling vaguely like Iโ€™d forgotten something. Guesses?

I want the address of the guy who decided the standard setup for a kitchen sink with a garbage disposal and dishwasher attached would use a rigid โ…žโ€ hose to cover the TEN LOUSY INCHES between the air gap and the disposal in a goddamn U shape like thatโ€™s not going to kink like a motherfucker

cover for This Movie Doesn't End the Way We Want by Hailey Piper, cover art by Julia Lloyd. The art depicts a fedora over a suit with no face between them, replaced by the eerie light of a film projector catching the dust in an ethereal glow. A quote from Paul Tremblay calls the book "fun, creepy, and thrilling"
