Loretta Leake

15 years ago, I took a pay cut to get a job after I was laid off during the financial crisis of 08. It took me 2 years to get a credible interview. It took me a 10yrs to make that up. My annual pay incr. is 1-2%. Every now and then it has been higher but only because at one point I got a promotion.

Nothing comes with proper instruction manuals anymore. I have no idea how to use half the stuff I have purchased in the last 10 years. 🤬

When the president says he hates Americans, that’s… a sign. He is such a classless, awful human being.

I'm sure some of y'all are wondering what the hell is going on in D.C. tonight.

Summary: GOP Senators are being openly greedy and corrupt with all their personal asks in the Big Beautiful Bill, but they're struggling to fit all those asks, like a snake choking on a bucket of dead mice.

I was accused of the same for using “denigrate” in a Tik Tok comment.

It’s the “walk to a grocery store” that’s the problem here. We don’t have this in the US. What I like about the UK is that they have, let’s just say, Tesco, but also Tesco Express, smaller stores all around. So at least there is some access to walkable groceries.

Is this a different pregnancy photo? It is not possible this is a photo of an ectopic pregnancy… she would be dead.

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history.

This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

Is there an income threshold? I thought anyone without employer subsidized insurance could be on the ACA exchange?

Generally, I agree. At the same time, I do expect a certain minimum level of quality This doesn’t meet any low standard. It makes me suspect that @krogerfoodstores.bsky.social actively trains their employees to pick the stuff no one else would buy. Never even seen anything like this on display!

I ordered 4 corn cobs to pick up from @krogerfoodstores.bsky.social 3 of them are like this. What? did the shoppers dig these up from the back room thinking no one would buy them, so sell them to the pickup suckers!? Barely larger than a toothpick and missing most corn kernels. WTF?

Totally agree. Just no benefit to Trump

Do not misunderstand me, I 100% agree with you. But if Trump can find a buyer for all that land in Harney Co, OR, more power to him. There is literally nothing there. Nothing can grow, nothing to cut and sell.

From your lips to your ears.

Also, American men rarely carry bags. I am willing to bet my 401k that this is not an American.

I am not entitled. Just logical. An institution like a museum needs to plan for the least common denominator. I have been to hundreds of museums and palaces around the world. All of them had signs or ropes instructing people not to touch or sit.

This is the museum’s fault. Ropes should have been around it. And all of you assuming these are Americans are assholes, tbh. Maybe they are, but that doesn’t make you any less of an asshole.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend”

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

Seniors in Salt Lake City heading out for a #nokingsprotest in front of their assisted living facility.

What the fuck was that??

From when I went to Prineville, OR.

We know. They gave you immunity.

Isn’t like half the Supreme Court ultra Catholic? I am sure they just thrilled about this…

I almost responded with a pic of my pets and some mushrooms I painted recently. lol. Take it as a moment of brief respite from all the terrible news of the last 90 days.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.
