Why is the "anti-woke" right leaning so hard on the R-slur these days? It's a rhetorical flourish in their wider campaign of dehumanizing cruelty—a claim that their opponents are not merely wrong but incapable of forming a viable opinion.

Being an adult sucks because I have the ability to buy/do whatever I want - which is great - except when holidays come around and people ask me for gift ideas.
Are snacks and quiet time appropriate? Asking for a friend.

As a young union rep, I am so lucky to be part of the bargaining process for my local this year because if you ever want to get a crash course on bureaucracy and local history, that is the best and bluntest place to do it.

Gonna start a school for politicians to learn how to go on podcasts and I'm going to charge so much money and also the entire thing is going to be rephrasing the sentence, "Now, for this next part, you're going to want to pretend like you're currently a human person."

Asking the department to make budget cuts when it’s already inadequately funded could put officers’ mental and physical wellbeing at risk, says the union

I will never ever ever fly out of Saskatoon again (I was supposed to leave at 6:30 am today and land in Kelowna at 9:17; it’s 5:42 and I’m about to maybe get on plane #1 and hope to get to Kelowna at 9:30 TOMORROW MORNING).

Little annoyed that Mother Nature chose THIS SPECIFIC WEEKEND to come and fuck Saskatoon.
Good luck to me getting to Kelowna in time to repack and make it to Vancouver tonight (and by good luck, I mean HAHAHAHAH LIFE SUCKS).
