"Can you explain this gap in your resume?" Sure, it's from the space bar.

Arm wrestle meme where one arm is NASA and the other arm is regular people and "Outlook sucks" is where the arms meet

It's deeply comforting to know that Artemis II astronauts deep in space are having the same Microsoft Outlook issues that you have at your cushy B2B SaaS work-from-home laptop job.

Every day is April Fool's when you're living in this generation and economy.

How to Navigate Disclosing a Disability in Job Interviews It’s what accessibility advocates refer to as the “disclosure dilemma.”

Accessibility advocates call it the "disclosure dilemma," which refers to the decision of if, when and how to disclose a disability in job interviews. There's no right answer as it's deeply personal, but I wrote about it anyways for my newsletter with some excerpts from my upcoming book included.

Happy International Women's Day to everyone except the corporations who think a company-wide email and cake in the lunchroom will make up for the gender wage gap.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

The only acceptable deadnaming is referring to X as Twitter and the Actor Awards as the SAG Awards.

I'm not sure if anyone else has realized this, but Epic Fury has the same initials as Epstein Files. My conspiracy theorist tin foil hat is crinkling.

Please remember you are likely to see even anti-war and anti-intervention Iranians celebrate Khamenei’s death (if confirmed) as he has been a source of death, tyranny, destruction, and has held Iran back.

Trump speaking at the podium at the Board of Peace changed to "bored of peace"

Trump's Board of Peace is now bored of peace.

Donald Trump in Home Alone 2

It looks like World War 3 was started by one of the cast members of Home Alone 2.

That's a great way to engage students! I haven't done that but I do feel like being open about my stutter and being my authentic self makes me a better teacher.

As an author who just wrapped up the manuscript of my inaugural non-fiction book (on disability in the workplace), I'm definitely going to be following this!

An email with the subject line that says "Your name is in Eipstein Files" The rest of the email reads: "Hi Shlok, Apologies for the subject line. But in a sea of mails, this was the only way to grab your attention. I am looking for a marketing role. My resume is attached. Please let me know if you are hiring. Regards, [Name redacted]"

Here's one way to stand out in your job applications.

A visual of a post-in note with the words "The Breakroom Dispatch" in black font on it, over a bulletin board background. Underneath the post-it note is a torn piece of paper with the words "Workplace new, tips and advice to help people navigate the torturous battlefield known as the job market" in brown font, and underneath that is the URL thebreakroomdispatch.substack.com

We all know the job market sucks. I launched a newsletter on Substack, called The Breakroom Dispatch, to provide some relief and perhaps make it suck a little less. I'll be covering workplace news, job hunting tips and freelance advice. Please subscribe! thebreakroomdispatch.substack.com

A store sign that says "Anxiety Disorders," followed by "Now Only $45.00" on the next line.

I don't mean to brag but my anxiety disorder was free.

The draft of my debut book, "One Barrier After Another: Navigating the Workplace with a Disability," is nearly complete! Now, I’m hoping to connect with literary agents who represent non-fiction and uplift marginalized voices. If this is you, please let me know. #WritingCommunity #writer #authorlife

Catherine O'Hara in Home Alone

Catherine O'Hara in Schitt's Creek

Catherine O'Hara in Beetlejuice

Ugh, this one hurts. Not only did I and countless others grow up watching her in Home Alone, but she was iconic in Schitt's Creek and she got her start at Second City Toronto alongside Eugene Levy, John Candy and many others. We lost a comedic legend. RIP Catherine O'Hara.

"I hope this email finds you well"
- Boring
- Yawn
- Heard that before

"I hope this email finds you before I do"
- Commanding
- Threatening
- Oh no! What are they going to do?!

"I hope this email doesn't find you"
- Peaceful
- Zen
- Now that's better

I Feared Disclosing My Speech Disability, But My Students Surprised Me - EdSurge News Writing teacher Samuel Dunsiger found that opening up to his students gave them room to be compassionate.

I got my first byline with @edsurge.com! I wrote about being an educator with a speech disability, including disclosing my stutter to my students and how I ultimately used my disability as a talking point while teaching.

I think we need to cut JD Vance some slack. His mom probably taped over the VHS tape with her work-out videos so he didn't see the rest of the movie.

Watching ICE agents slipping and sliding all over Minnesota sidewalks makes me wonder why they think they can take Greenland.

I think a better name for the U.S. would be ICEland.

Macaulay Culkin presenting at the Golden Globes

The only part of the Golden Globes I watched was Macaulay Culkin returning to present for the first time since Home Alone. He walked on stage to the song "Return of the Mack." That was the only moment I needed to watch.

A lot has happened this week but one thing that didn't happen was the release of the Epstein files.

What we saw in Minneapolis is proof that ICE is the American gestapo.

Larry David "You can't say Happy New Year after January 7th" meme

This is a friendly reminder that today is the last day to wish someone Happy New Year, according to Larry David.
