I’m at work today. They don’t give us holiday pay either. So… yay, Easter?! I’m due back at 5AM tomorrow so nothing exciting will happen after work either. #disappointing

I’m tentatively making plans to see a concert this weekend even though I STILL don’t have my work schedule for the following week. I’m off the next 2 days. My next day there is supposed to be Friday. Just don’t have the time my shift is yet!

One thing I've learned from the 42,000 hours of Teletubbies I've been exposed to the past 6 months it's that British kids have weird outings. Not take your kids to the shooting range weird, which is nice.

A highly suggestive tweet by the President has led to a sharper focus on whether it's okay for politicians to actively trade stocks. I think the answer is simple: This is not okay, and it's time for Congress to fix itself.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

It’s already been a wacky morning at work! One coworker who should have been here with me called out. The other was late! Thank goodness my supervisors stepped up to help!
