Doesn't matter if it was like this for one minute or a lifetime. It happened and they need to face consequences beyond reversing course.

I would like to continue listening to my rock and roll book but I have several days’ worth of work to do and no current way to recharge my phone unless I want to haul out the power bank that’s bigger than a bread box

I mean, look at this CV. They choose to charge affordable rates, but with this level of expertise and experience…please pay this person what they deserve if you have the resources to do so.

This was the attorney representing DHS/ICE here in Minnesota who told a judge β€œthe system sucks, this job sucks” and wanted to be held in contempt so she could get some sleep.

Do not underestimate just how much many second- or third-gen politically passive liberals from the coasts WERE NEVER TAUGHT about the history of The Bad Shit.

For the SECOND time this week I have had to write a margin note that extends half the page length to educate white authors about How They Did A Racism. First one was the G word (fantasy world, no etymological or contextual reason for word to even exist), second one involves a gorilla.

A Threads astrologer made me laugh with this description of one of my placements.

β€œYou improve systems that other people are emotionally attached to.”

Basically, I don’t care if something is the way it’s always been done or if other people are comfortable with a flawed system. Burn it down.

I feel that this is an incredibly calm and composed piece relative to the level of EXTREME FUCKERY

(One of my own clients asked me what I recommend instead of Grammarly and instead of being waspish and saying β€œmyself” I said Word spell check without Copilot)
