“Bring extra copies of your resume to an interview in case the interviewer doesn’t have a copy. This shows preparedness.”
I do not want to work for someone who fails to print my resume in advance of an interview with me. This shows a lack of preparedness.

Has the left offered a meaningful pathway to healing and accountability for men who have engaged in garbage behavior but, as with all of us, are capable of change if they want it? Or have they just shouted down the president as a rapist and felon (which can mean he’s only bad)? Ezra Klein, thoughts?

I resisted getting a cell phone until I was 20 years old, and I had everyone’s number memorized and I got lost all the time. My mom got me my first iPhone in 2011. I still don’t know how it works or how it talks to my iPad and my car. This is information I never want to learn. I hate it all

I was labeled a geriatric millennial ten years ago, which means the whole Medicare situation has actually really shaken everyone in the whole 32-45 year old age bracket, and even though we’re low key holding it together, like, maybe check on your people

Corporate fucking media has to stop publishing news like it’s a scandalous expose. This isn’t reporting. It’s political theater that seeds anxiety. We need the facts without emotional priming.

A late thank you for the anniversary wishes my dear ones! As my favorite auntie told me when I first met Andy: “There’s no scenario in which you two don’t grow old together.” She added, “it’s just a matter of making sure you don’t damage each other by then.” We’re doing pretty okay at it, I’d say ❤️

The first hint of something being up was when they started asking for SSNs on every form instead of just for SSI benefits
For months, the Social Security Administration was quietly sharing sensitive data about immigrants with DHS. Now it’s official.

I feel like all the Bible is saying is that the social order of the time must be in need of revision if an avocado-toast-aged Uncle gets murdered by the State for saying “Feed everyone, thanks.” That’s just good old fashioned abolitionist theory

The fact is that foundations and non profits didn’t flinch about taking his money and networking with him even after his conviction tells us that the nonprofit sector is not a tool for balancing the scales of justice. We need alternate parallel systems

Insurance companies are PayPal but between drs and providers. What I think they missed is that the providers aren’t David in this story — they’re also often giant corporations. Both are Goliaths. They are suing bc they believe they’ll get more money in a free market.
Insurance companies aren’t just players in the fight with doctors over money; they’re also the referees.
They produce their own guidelines on when to pay claims. If a doctor appeals a denial, insurers make all the initial decisions.

“For five months we were instructed to bring in our own toilet paper. I literally kept two rolls at my desk. I wish I were joking."
