FABRIC SCISSORS CANNOT BE USED TO CUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN FABRIC.
Not paper.
Not raffia, twine, or other binding materials.
And oh HELL NO are you cutting that piece of wire
Punishment shall be swift, severe, and include access to only "safety scissors" from that instant forward.

In other news, my coworkers got to see what I’m like after getting IV steroids (which didn’t help the migraine Especially when I asked them how to word something in order not to tell the person that they are a total idiot and asking for that is grounds for termination.

Hard to think of a more comprehensive way to alienate the Global South than to touch down in a war zone , be asked about one of the most horrific incidents in the whole world and start talking about "the other team" like you're at a hockey match. Just an epic bag fumble

Come get spindles and SPOONS!!!!
OK so then I decided if I’m ranting about spindles I may as well put the ones I have in stock on sale.
Some of these are the really special ones that there’s only one guy who makes and he’s the apprentice of the guy who died and we’re trying to keep him making them

So a lot of people who are in unstable, abusive, and/or periodically violent living situations keep cell phones hidden for emergencies.
If you know anyone in such a situation, make sure they know about FEMA's testing of its Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system next Wednesday.
