this CANNOT be real. it's not clear what random number in line 2 is the standard deduction, not clear if i'm married with one income or two since both incomes are mine, not clear wtf an allowance is or how i would know if i had any, & then #13 on this worksheet is basically just "figure it all out"
Text from CA employment development department's withholding allowance certificate: 1. Enter estimate of total wages for tax year 2021. 1. 2. Enter estimate of nonwage income (line 6 of Worksheet B). 2. 3. Add line 1 and line 2. Enter sum. 3. 4. Enter itemized deductions or standard deduction (line 1 or 2 of Worksheet B, whichever is largest). 4. 5. Enter adjustments to income (line 4 of Worksheet B). 5. 6. Add line 4 and line 5. Enter sum. 6. 7. Subtract line 6 from line 3. Enter difference. 7. 8. Figure your tax liability for the amount on line 7 by using the 2021 tax rate schedules below. 8. 9. Enter personal exemptions (line F of Worksheet A x $136.40). 9. 10. Subtract line 9 from line 8. Enter difference. 10. 11. Enter any tax credits. (See FTB Form 540). 11. 12. Subtract line 11 from line 10. Enter difference. This is your total tax liability. 12. 13. Calculate the tax withheld and estimated to be withheld during 2021. Contact your employer to request the amount that will be withheld on your wages based on the marital status and number of withholding allowances you will claim for 2021. Multiply the estimated amount to be withheld by the number of pay periods left in the year. Add the total to the amount already withheld for 2021. 13. 14. Subtract line 13 from line 12. Enter difference. If this is less than zero, you do not need to have additional taxes withheld. 14. 15. Divide line 14 by the number of pay periods remaining in the year. Enter this figure on line 2 of the DE 4.

Working somewhere where I have students’ biographies of Assata Shakur and Angela Davis on my wall is truly special.

CC @gavinnewsom.bsky.social you little sellout bitch. From the governor of Utah:
75,000 high school kids participating in high school sports in Utah. • 4 transgender kids playing high school sports in Utah. • 1 transgender student playing girls sports. • 86% of trans youth reporting suicidality. • 56% of trans youth having attempted suicide! Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That's what all of this is about. Four kids who aren't dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just trying to find some friends and feel like they are a part of something. Four kids trying to get through each day. Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few. I don't understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live. And all the research shows that even a little acceptance and connection can reduce suicidality significantly. For that reason, as much as any other, I have taken this action in the hope that we can continue to work together and find a better way. If a veto override occurs, T hope we can work to find ways to show these four kids that we love them and they have a place in our state. I recognize the political realities of my decision. Politically, it would be much easier and better for me to simply sign the bill. I have always tried to do what I feel is the right thing regardless of the consequences. Sometimes I don't get it right, and I do not fault those who disagree with me. But even if you disagree with me, I hope this letter helps you understand the reasons for my decision. Sincerely, Spencer J. Cox Governor

rest in power Mr. Edward Crawford
“Edward Crawford throws back a tear gas container after tactical officers worked to break up a group of bystanders on Chambers Road and West Florissant on Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014 in St. Louis. Nights of unrest have vied with calls for calm in a St. Louis suburb where an unarmed black teenager was killed by police, while the community is still pressing for answers about the weekend shooting.” Crawford was found dead at 27 and his father does not believe it was a suicide.

An ornament wreath with a white, gold, pastel pink, mint green color scheme and mostly ball ornaments with some poky dangly ones here and there, white bells hanging in the middle, and a couple sprays of sparkly fake floral stuff. A close up of one of two vintage glass style ornaments on the wreath. This one is a pastel pink color scheme nutcracker with little beads like colorful Christmas lights glued on him.
