I put "you people are exhausting" at the very bottom of my work email signature, how long until
a) someone notices
b) someone says something

i really need to be like mad men and start drinking at work.

Today, I sing the praises of Hops, for the healing. 90-second doses of dopamine via IG stories. Very fluffy kitties that sleep on your face so that you're picking fur out of your eyelashes in the AM.
Sun that sets *after* I get home from work.
Competency.
Coworkers who get it.
Doing my best.

what a visual

How to Protect Your Retirement Savings Now as Markets Plunge If you’re within five years of retiring, either before or after, you’re at your most vulnerable financially. Here are steps to weather the volatility.

Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

I'm no media critic, but you'll be hard pressed to find a better performance across decades than this. (Not to mention his fun and silly moments in the Saint and Top Secret!)

What a damn loss.

I have three spots available for my May queue. Help me pay my bills and get some cute art in the process!

This is what watching season 8 has felt like so far

There's a lot to be unhappy about today but it will be sunny and warm when I leave the office and I will have a bit of time in the sunshine with the kitties tonight and that's just really fucking great news in my book.

While we were all defending Jackie Robinson, Rob Manfred was busy doing this. A disgrace.

How is it not theft and fraud to compel Americans to pay into a system for decades with the understanding that they will be covered after retirement, and then just decide from one day to the next “never mind.”

Libraries are Right. There.

10,000 postal workers. The folks who worked while all of us stayed home waiting on package deliveries during COVID.

My favorite atwood quote: “Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.”

Oh these are lovely!

I did a ton of audiobooks when I was sewing a lot, but am now realizing that I retained damn near nothing at all during that time. Owell, lots of "new" books to read! 😆

I have discovered that I simply do not comprehend or retain audiobooks the same way as reading them. I'm reading ACOTAR after having listened to it a few years ago and lemme tell ya - it's all completely new book to me. 😆

I generally describe my adhd brain as one squirrel and 3 walnuts. 😆 Hope your squirrel chooses the right one for you soon. <3

I would not be mad at some more ravi time

I don't know if I've ever heard a more accurate description of #adhd 😂💀

His hair is so dark in some of them and WHO IS HE HAVING SHOTS WITH???

Are we winning yet?

Piss-frosted Hitler & Edolf Ketamein Kampf are defying court orders right and left, denying it, and we're all just walking around like normal. People keep saying it'll take the first missed Social Security check. I say when the first check is missed, the ship has sailed. It may have already sailed.

Every American skipping over this violation of the law, and assuming this happens to 'people who deserve it/are dodgy somehow,' should realize that there is jack-all stopping them from doing the same thing to you next, if you shrug off the rule of law for people on visas.

The upside is that once the party tears itself apart, we might get actual progressives in office.

I have reregistered as an independent. I'm not willing to fight for people who won't fight for me.

@schumer.senate.gov
You’re failing. You’re not up to the task at hand.
Your staff needs to step up and tell you to step down.
You’re pissing loyal Dems off to the point no one wants to donate, phone bank, canvass or fight if YOU’RE just going to roll over.
You need to step down.
