Judge Alsup, somewhat infamously, is not known for messing around or hiding what he thinks.
Judge Alsup has issued his written TRO, directing that OPM’s terminations of probationary employees across govt be "stopped & rescinded." “No statute—anywhere, ever—has granted OPM the authority to direct termination of employees in other agencies.” ...

Since posting this i've been trying to work out why I was having such a visceral response to this show. And then I remembered that I have PTSD thanks to a co-worker who decided I was her target...so yeah, that's probaby why 🤦🏻♀️ #DouglasIsCancelled
Started watching #DouglasIsCancelled. I’m halfway through episode two and my anxiety is ratcheting up because of the ignorance of Douglas and Madeline being borderline sociopathic. Honestly don’t know if I’ll be able to watch more :( It’s making me feel ill.

Curious things happening over on Meta. I had threads open on my desktop, and while I was looking at the screen FIVE posts became unavailable. All were political. One of them was by someone I follow - and they're no longer in my follow list. Plus last night's suspension & my posting restriction...

in case you needed explaining why the first pic might be a bad idea, have a look at the second

So I was casually scrolling through Insta tonight, when I got a full screen notification from Meta advising that my Instagram account had been suspended. From the little info I was provided, it looked like I was reported for spam? 🤷🏻♀️ so I appealed the decision. 🧵

Good morning from 100 Centre Street in Manhattan, where the President-elect is set to be criminally sentenced on 34 felony convictions for falsification of business records.

Empty coffee cups is a bingo square on our bad Christmas movie bingo card
My superpower is I can tell whenever the coffee cups in a tv show are empty. Law & Order hasn’t seen a wet cup in 30 years.

Three shows down, 5 to go. Performing in this heat is NOT fun. Thankfully we’ve been permitted to remove the “winter” parts of our costumes (so now it’s summer on skid row 😂).

Home after opening night. May have eaten too much Bulla Murray Street icecream (vanilla with boysenberry for clarity) while I processed the evening. I’ve just made the error of laying down BEFORE going to shower 😬🤦🏻♀️

It's weird that Looking for Alaska is the second-most banned book in the U.S., and mostly challenged by evangelical Christians, because the novel is about Radical Hope and how forgiveness is available to all people at all times, which are Christian concepts I wrote about because I'm a Christian.

Final dress & tech rehearsal tonight and we open tomorrow. I'm exhausted & everything hurts, which is a reminder to me that I'm still not fully recovered from being VERY unwell earlier this year. So for the next two weeks it's ibuprofen & electrolytes 😬

I am "related" (distant step-cousin) to Harold Holt, the Prime Minister who went swimming and never returned. In our family book, all that's said about him is that he "went on to become the Prime Minister of Australia"
Give me one interesting fact about your family history that you learned.

so I used a "skybridge" to map followers from twitter to bluesky (and didn't bother to vet the matches), which means that I'm trying to work out who people are and why I'm following them 🤦♀️

Hi!
my bluesky invite code appeared in my inbox over the weekend, so here I am.
a lot of my social media at the moment is reading, learning, and posting pictures of whatever I baked on the weekend, so not quite sure how I'll be on here.
I am also over on threads...same handle etc.
