A reminder to the folks who just arrived: it's a new place. Wipe your feet and leave the old crap behind.

With the Mints no longer minting pennies, does this mean people will be repurposing their bartops and floors made out of pennies and then epoxied?

Three months ago, my soul cat left.
One month ago, I stopped surviving and trying to live again.
Last night, I started cleaning up after her.
I'm sorry - the sarcasm was a defense method. I know the snark wasn't good, but it was easy to hand.
In this time of pain, be love.

The best thing that @schumer.senate.gov could do is retire. Right now. Because whatever goodwill he's built up is lost forever.

Enough is enough. Contact your Democratic senators TODAY and tell them to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Hey, #scout troops. If you're looking for a November community engagement, do a parking lot campfire kitchen. Lot of people could use some warm food during this time.

How's my day going? Well, I can't find the harmonized tariff code for the stickers I'm trying to ship, but I can find the one for the anvil I want to pound (my head) against later.

An absolutely devastating and massive blow to political coverage nationwide. @leximcmenamin.com has been doing work nobody else has, just truly leading on so many stories.
Beyond mind boggling decision tbh.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Melancholy lunch today. Not because it's a PB&J sandwich, or that I've added Doritos, but because of what I'm serving it on.
I used to use these plates to feed my cat on.
Missing her today.

Remember, GenX folks, we're the group who had Breakfast Club, Twisted Sister, and the Sex Pistols.
We're not always going to go along to get along. Friend of mine once put it: "only dead fish go with the flow."
So, are you a dead fish? Or are you gonna do something about it?
