Got the flu last year on Thanksgiving and it really sucked. Obviously vaccine is no guarantee you won’t get it, but it’s basically free with no downside and is, imho, a no-brainer.

Reminding everyone that reasonable adjustments are a legal right under the Equality Act (and Autism Act) regardless of where you work.
Accodomations aren't just nice to have or stop when it's inconvenient to a NT way of doing things, as we can't just stop being disabled...surprisingly.

Apologies to @crankyoldcrackpot.bsky.social and @quinnleone.bsky.social who are stalwarts in my packs...as what tends to happen at least once per pack -my eyes skipped over a couple of lines -even w/using Carl's recipe. All pls follow these most excellent peeps ( & apologies to any others I missed).
There once was an Gov Dept named DOGE
that was supposed to make things more financially efficient
It was formed by a dude named Elon
who turned out to be a big weird inappropriately jumping con
and fiscal efficiency became too expensive to afford it.

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

If you must rake to save the grassy parts of your yard, at least KEEP YOUR LEAVES in the garden, under the trees, and in compost and leaf piles.
The leaves have:
* ladybugs
* fireflies and
* nutrients your trees pulled from deep in the earth, just for your yard and garden.
