lmao I have so many tricks for getting a work to be a magical number in length -- I understand the burning need

Yes. And when I do hate-read,(because I am psychologically weird about certain things) I talk to my friends about it in the group chat! I don't bring the writer into it. My friends generally wish I didn't bring THEM into it but hey they signed up for me being weird.

It's not really an idea from workers; it's from employers that try every way they can (pressure, shame, manipulation, etc.) to keep workers from taking the vacation days they are legally owed. Part of that is making workers resentful of co-workers that take their days, so they apply peer pressure.

lmao for a sec I got Scalia and Alito mixed up, and was all "😲 He's gone? 😀😀😀😍"

TOS Spock I really identified with but I'm going to post her picture instead

Fix your hearts or die.

The gender-neutral replacement in the example Matthew gave (sorry you were treated so poorly, Matthew) would be "Excuse me." The person isn't actually trying to show respect but to get attention.

Can't think of a replacement for it in respectful address like "Thank you for coming, sir."

@jdcmedlock.bsky.social talks about tax positivity, and IMO the way to get there beyond meming is helping people understand what their tax dollars do. Because it is actually a lot! Even if you’re not personally, currently on a poverty program like Medicaid or SNAP.

I want that as well, mostly because I want the chefs to have to figure out what to do with feedback from autistic people like, "It's too broken," "All the taste is the wrong flavor," and "Gah, ick, it's touching" 😂🥰

You are right and you should say it

They've taken a lot from you; they don't deserve your literal life. This is a great step you've taken. You might get pushback -- that is only their anguish at losing you, it is not your fault. ❤️❤️❤️

Similar: My mom blew up my 7th grade teacher told her that I "just wasn't good at math." Mom made the school give me an algebra readiness standard test; I scored in the 99th percentile. They started offering algebra in 8th grade the next year. (This was decades ago fyi)

I only eat the plain (with cheese slices or peanut butter on top) but the flavors look good.

Triscuits (lower salt) are my go-to because of the fiber.
