Friday!

The British were immigrants too. You are on Native land.

I'm a product of OK public schools from K to PhD and we didn't have them in schools unless it was for a world religions class in high school.

My kids go to school here, so it's unavoidable here

IMO, I like the spoon.

Yes people use the spoon for chronic illness. I read it as a strength too. Even with this last spoon, I resist.

Just thoughts and a reframe from a therapist.

Spoon is not too niche. It speaks to reality for the workers at CDC. If you want to speak to the broader public, well nothing will be perfect.

What feels most true to you?

A cartoon of a woman looking at her computer monitor. The title of the cartoon is "Peak Operational Efficiency." Quote bubbles coming out of the monitor suggest numerous emails with contradictory information and instructions. "You're fired!" "NO - WAIT! Never mind!" "Back to work!" "Send your manager FIVE accomplishments or you're fired!" "No don't!" "Send five or you're fired!" There's an additional chat bubble coming from the monitor with an apparent headline that reads, "Thousands of fired federal workers called back to work." Finally, there is a cell phone on the desk, and the caller is asking, "Hey...do you still have a job?

My eldest ran varsity in the first track meet of the season.

3) When the director was directly asked about this section of OPM code, the director said to send the email anyway. 4) This clarification from OPM was sent hours after many of us were told to respond.

Right. 1) the VHA absolutely told us to respond. 2) I got this guidance from the director, my service chief, and my supervisor.

Perhaps. Is this what you did?

Yes! What do you do when leadership tells you to respond by end of your shift? We were told in writing and in our townhall to respond.

HR at OPM but sprinkle in some numbers after "hr." That's what employees are responding to.

We (VHA) were told to respond today and did.

Haskell Indian Nations University lays off dozens of employees after federal orders Numerous employees of Haskell Indian Nations University lost their jobs Friday as part of sweeping nationwide cuts ordered by President Donald Trump's administration.

Presidents Trump and Musk laid off dozens tonight at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas. “There will be students on campus whose classes have no instructors when school resumes...accreditation could also be at risk, as it cannot support all its students.”

So many jarring and mundane events recently. Laser tag with the kids & cleaning out my office in case I'm fired. The sun on my face at lunch and conversations about how to keep our children safe. Doing my best to follow my own counsel and just breathe.

Just got caught up on laundry!

Same!

Good morning, team! ☀️

As the sprinter runs out of steam, the runner trained in long distance hits their stride. Steady, strong and calm - this is the cadence and the heartbeat of the Resistance.

We're seeing this play out now.

I built a tool to help protect text against surveillance and fingerprinting.

It detects hidden markers, special characters, and patterns that could be used to track the writer.

I got my eopf last night but have been stuck on how to get it off my work computer. This is a lifesaver!

This is so helpful!

Good thread. Remember-

I'm not sure what to do anymore with this.

When my high school A.P. European history teacher gave us a group assignment to design a way to escape east Berlin I thought it was just a thought exercise. Really, he gave us a lesson in surviving fascism.

I did not think I'd need those skills.

The Trump administration’s rebranded Schedule F policy aims to reclassify federal employees in policy roles as at-will, removing civil service protections. This will politicize agencies by allowing dismissals based on political alignment.
