Christmas movies always be like “Your dad needs to learn the true meaning of Christmas and get himself fired from his job that he needs to provide for you”

Just a straight-up, brazen, demonstrable lie from the Vice-President of the United States. They have no shame and they seem to be able to get away with it too.

Abrego Garcia is not a ‘convicted MS-13 gang member.’ This is flat false from Vance.

My friend Keira is one of the best and brightest coworkers I’ve ever known, but the current job market is awful.

Please check out this thread and support her and her art if you can as she, like a lot of us, looks for steady employment.

#MutualAidMonday #TransDayOfVisibility
So today, Monday, March 31, is #TransDayOfVisibility. And this year I’m not just visibly trans, I’m also visibly broke.

I’m still looking for a new job after being laid off last June by my employer of nearly five years. And my unemployment just ran out. So I need figure something out and fast.

Regardless of context or circumstances, “We can’t just ignore the president’s desires” has got to be one of the strangest phrases ever uttered by a standing vice president

Since everyone has ~big controversial pronoun opinions~ I may as well share mine, so here goes: “nosotros” is way too long to be a pronoun. Too many letters, too many syllables. Pronouns should be one syllable, two at the outside, and if so they better be formal.

I'm not saying AI isn't the future but it is notable that the biggest promoters are weird, cultish trolls and zealots who sound EXACTLY like NFT evangelists from a few years ago. Again I'm not saying it's snake oil, I'm saying they have lots of snake oil salesmen in their ranks.
