On Jan 11, 1944, Franklin Delano Roosevelt presented a bill of social & economic rights to the nation. It was the greatest political speech of the 20th century. It failed. But it's not too late. I made a presentation about it. Share it with EVERYONE before midterms. canva.link/the-second-b...
Me: Does a thing that protects HIPAA. Muckity Muck: This is inconvenient for me. I'm reporting you to your manager to make you do that same thing in a way that violates HIPAA because I don't understand how anything works. Me:

My head was hurting a bit so I laid down at 7:30 last night and woke up with my husband's alarm at 6:30. What. The. Hell. Obviously, I needed sleep for some reason. I'd *really* like to know that reason, though. 😭
PERIODIC REMINDER. If you are 35 and older, you should be getting up from the floor unassisted every day, or trying to. Ideally, no hands.
Book peeps! Whats the best medieval/fantasy/gothic sapphic prose book? Bonus points: -- decent chances of being physically available at a local library -- standalone -- maximum yearning
I am having a prosciutto, honey goat cheese, and fig preserves sandwich for lunch if you wanted to know my level of ridiculous today.
When we bought the business, the contract/bill of sale whatever it is stated that all tools that were in the building were sold to us. Guess who just got an email from the ex-landlord saying we took his ladders? Nope. We took OUR ladders that we bought when we bought the business.

Indie writers are real writers. Self-pub writers are real writers. Trad pub writers are real writers. None of us are better than each other. I only wish the readers who need your work find it.
Indie Book Spotlight@bookspotlight.bsky.social · 4w agoThe way indie music is seen as 'cool' and indie films are seen as 'embracing the craft without selling out' while indie books are seen as 'didn't get trad published' gives me feelings. Really crunchy feelings. The snobbery makes zero sense and instantly tells me someone isn't worth listening to.
Today I'm going to do an experiment in becoming secretly ungovernable at work because after the way the boss' boss handled my being sick as a dog, fuck all them.
Today I got to be lazy. Yay! Tomorrow I go back to work. It's stressing me out because I know I'll have a lot to catch up on but, once I do that, it should be okay.
Faith Hedgepeth, a member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe, was found murdered in her apartment in Chapel Hill, NC, on Sept 7, 2012. She attended UNC under the Gates Millennium Scholarship. DNA evidence found at the crime scene led to an arrest for her murder nine years later.
At this moment I do not have to do anything tomorrow. Here is hoping it will stay that way.
Despite being derailed by my getting hella sick, we're almost fully done with moving out of the storefront. In a shocking move, the landlord gave us an extra week after we explained what happened with me. We have to be done today but we can do that. Soooooooon.
Back from the doctor some more. I lost the ability to swallow without having to give it a lot of thought and struggle to make the muscles work so that added to it. I've been ordered to sleep and they will handle the stupid FMLA. YAY. 😭
I have made yet another appointment that, hopefully, will not be cancelled last minute by the provider for tomorrow morning. Hopefully I will be able to get all required documentation that, yeah, I'm sick and, yeah, I need to effing rest. Please to send good vibes.
I tried to work. It was horrible. I have gone back to bed. If they want to give me an occurrence for this, I hope they enjoy the paperwork.
Having to file FMLA for strep when I have near perfect attendance is a fucking insult. I get why. My boss has people who don't show up that she goes after hard so she has to go after everyone hard so she can fire people in a way that makes the union happy. Still utter bullshit for everyone.
The antibiotics seem to be working. I'm now more at a 3-4 for pain instead of 6-7 wondering how effed I am. The admin side of the company I work for sucks major donkey balls but we absolutely have some of the best doctors and care teams in the state. That's proven every time I have to go elsewhere.
Yesterday I went to a local clinic and the provider did a big shrug as to why my throat has been on fire since Sunday then prescribed a Z-Pak that I couldn't pick up because she put in the order wrong at the pharmacy and never called them back to correct it.
Just as I'm leaving the doctor with a strep diagnosis I get a text from my boss that I need to file FMLA because I was out last week dealing with my kid being sick and then this week dealing with my own sickness and apparently that's offensive to her and I'm like...this is why people hate you.
So an *interesting* modern take on A Christmas Carol would be focused on a manosphere redpilled techbro hosting a soulless Christmas party at his fifth McMansion wondering why none of his family has talked to him in ten years, and then getting absolutely schooled by the Ghosts Of You Utter Asshole
Colin Jacobson@oatsdad.bsky.social · last mo.Seems to me we always had an explanation why Scrooge turned out the way he did. Failed romance young in life turned him bitter. 🤷🏻
Blargh. Last week Kidlet was sick and I was starting to get sick so I had to call out from work. Yesterday I woke up feeling the worst I've felt in a long damn time and it hasn't gotten better today so had to call out. I don't think I'll get in trouble or anything but I still don't like it. 😭
I am sick as a dog but we have to be out of the store by the end of the day so I am dragging myself around and it sucks. lol Everyone is helping. It's just a lot because we wanted to be open as long as possible and didn't anticipate I'd be sick as a dog. 😭
