I recently met a retired broker (55) who seemed proud that he was involved in the meltdown. Telling me about how he sat next to so and so who was featured in some movie, showing pics of him at trump jrs wedding, etc. I just couldn't get how someone could be proud of all that. It was surreal.

The Associated Press said the White House barred its reporter from Tuesday’s Oval Office executive order signing because of the AP style guidance on using the name Gulf of Mexico versus Gulf of America.
When a clown moves into the palace, he doesn't become a king. Instead, the palace becomes a circus.
A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.
Disgraceful
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
It used to be that a frustrating meeting for me was 'this meeting could have been an email,' but since I went into management its turned out 'this meeting could have been a google search' is even more common.
And to be clear it's not my team, but the teams that call me in to help them.
For when this becomes illegal and they are searching my Internet history:
Fuck White Supremicists
Fuck fascists
Fuck homophobes
Fuck terfs
Fuck misogynists
Fuck nimbys
Fuck the police
I will fight for the right for non-cis-hetero-whiteness to not just exist, but to thrive.
Resist.
I forgot to check my mail yesterday, but it did arrive. Thank you as always!
Actually I enjoy my work, but it can be a load. For example this Thursday I have 35 minutes not in meetings for the entire day. 🤦♂️
I'm doing. Mostly well, but work has been taxing. I'm not sure, but becoming a manager may have been a mistake. 🙃

An update.
I enjoyed the gimlets at the power hour, but it turns out that when I haven't had any drinks before hand I'm not as much of a fan.
Today's realization:
My social batteries are coin batteries.
I can handle a couple hours and then I need to find a corner to refresh.
Long week and my eyes are tired, but the first time I read that I saw rower instead of flower. Still works.
Well except for the rest of the sentence.
I wish I was more surprised... or at all surprised.
Give them to people who are under-represented or marginalized. They need someplace where there is still a possibility of moderation.
And for the first time ever I mutter...
Don't threaten us with a good time.
I'm trying to find everyone I follow there (and want to continue following), here and that will keep me in both places a little longer.
If you can't find that in your area let me know.
But do you need to be reminded how that happened?
