I’m from “you guys” but I’ve lived in “y’all” and now I’m forever team “y’all,” regardless of where I’m living.

It’s the best export from the south, except maybe Texas brisket and pecan pie.

Don’t forget that if we pull funding from Ukraine, the proxy war with Russia will potentially morph into the most peaceful war between Russia and our allies.

The fact that the person representing the choice to act is also giving a WTF, dude face is hilarious.

Everyone needs to take their anger straight to their local DNC office. Get involved and stop letting the centrist status-quo motherfuckers steer the party from the local levels. I’m also a member of my nearest DSA group but, until there’s a viable option for third parties to complete in general elections, we need to hold our noses and trojan horse the Democrats to change them from within.

You’ve been subscribed to Hoover facts.

✨ Herbert Hoover was raised as a Quaker. ✨

I don’t even need to fact check this. They do the same bullshit every time.

What’s the definition of insanity again? The DNC doesn’t appear to know.

I feel like I’ve just started listening after zoning out while someone is trying to explain a new TTRPG.

“Hi honey, how was your day?”

“Terrible. I accidentally became a falconer and you know how hard I’ve been trying to avoid falconry recently. I thought I was safe.”

I take it they’re TERFs?

“I’m one of the good ones!”

If you white knuckle past the point of burnout, you eventually start getting out of bed again to do hobbies. But only hobbies that feel useful and needed, and only if done feverishly so your brain can’t dwell on feeling burnt out and all the fun is gone. Dunno, maybe it’s just me ¯\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Disclaimer: It doesn’t go so well for people who wish to remain employed :/

Yeah, it’s the pressure of needing tasks completed immediately and the obvious importance/need to remove the stress-causing thing.

It’s a perfect recipe for hyperfocus and also why I can’t set my own deadlines–because I know it’s all wibbly wobbly when there isn’t a hard deadline from an external source. I’d be rich if I had a dollar for every time I wished someone would just tell me when something is needed instead of asking me to give an estimate.

If the task feels like boring busy work or bullshit and no one told me otherwise, you’ve got fuckall chance it’s getting done.

Oh, it is already that time of the week where the media pushes this as new information?

Wake me up when his drafty attic actually results in removal from the Republican ticket or breaks through the Republican voter information blockade.

I didn’t get converted to a permanent position after a whole year at my job. The only negative feedback (among otherwise great remarks) I had was six months in:

1. Be more organized and send updates more often.
2. Speak without tangents or sounding scattered.
3. Improve prediction of how long tasks will take and completion dates when considering other priorities.

Does anyone want to guess my diagnosis?* Lol

The maddening thing is that I didn’t get any follow-up after those comments until five months later, when I got the surprising news that they would not be continuing with me. If I had thought my subsequent med change and work strategies were not, in fact, improving my performance, I would have pursued accommodations.

* It’s ADHD.

Don’t forget that showing up BETWEEN ELECTIONS to shape your local political scene is how real, long-term change in politics is accomplished.

I wonder how many of these people who claim they can’t vote for Harris because they “need to teach the Democratic Party a lesson” have participated in primary elections or attended local party meetings to affect change.

I know that sleeping on your left side is best for heartburn due to the way our stomachs are oriented.

Not sure about other reasons. I like side sleeping with a pillow between my legs for my shitty back pain, but maybe that’s just me.

And I’m going to add something that helps me talk to my therapist: “If it’s mentionable, it’s manageable.”

After you’ve tried to deal with something yourself and haven’t succeeded, telling someone about what’s going on, no matter how unimportant or embarrassing or burdensome or shameful it feels, is the first step to living a life of contentment.

The most righteous tithing.

n+1 here, but I’m a bi woman married to a straight man and I’ve started using partner more recently because there’s a lot of baggage in the history of power dynamics associated with the titles of husband and wife.

I also hope it makes people think for a minute if they need to ask me clarifying questions about my marriage status or sexuality/how the person I’m married to identifies.

At the same time, I totally understand the impact of not using generic words when it comes to gay marriage, where there was such a long fight to be recognized as husband and husband. So cheers to you and your husband!
