This post from @funkystudios.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/funk... made me think of the Beavis and Butthead CD pack we got years ago (games and enough .wavs to make you vomit your own lungs) so I went to find the bundle and this was the search suggestions! What is happening?!?

Looking at BC Labour laws for reasons and how is this supposed to work? Like, how can you be required to work through (or be available to work during) your break and still have the mandated break?

“Scheduling meal and coffee
breaks
Employers are not required to provide coffee breaks.
A 30-minute unpaid meal break must be provided when an employee works more than five hours in a row. The employee must be paid for the meal break if they're required to work (or be available to work) during their meal break. Working through a meal break does not always result in overtime pay.
Scheduling split shifts
A split shift divides a work day into
separate periods of work. The employee's” [End of screenshot.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7rswox7cejx2njnwr5w7ptoc/bafkreic5vj74uf6dir6ik5hnfmldvvbnyioov6ryaoksenlbd4w4zonkgm@jpeg)

Something else awful was published, I guess, and I don’t feel the need to find out what.
I was a little surprised that Lizzo was on Substack, but maybe she started it before she realized it was supporting Nazis and stuff.

“Joint Statement from Lawmakers Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander and Houlahan
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO-06), Chris Deluzio (D-PA-17), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06) released the following joint statement:
"We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and [Start of blue highlighted text.] swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation.
"What's most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law
Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty.
"But this isn't about any one of us. This isn't about politics. This is about who we are as Americans.
Every American must unite and condemn the President's calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity. [End of blue highlighted text.]
"In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated.
"Don't Give Up the Ship!" “ [End of text.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7rswox7cejx2njnwr5w7ptoc/bafkreihot3q3ywsih2f7kb5gzwcs4kuhjtmug36ncxs7ktxxy4qotfctqe@jpeg)

“House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar released the following statement:
Political violence has no place in America.
Representatives Jason Crow, Chris DeLuzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan and Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin all served our country with tremendous patriotism and distinction. We unequivocally condemn Donald Trump's disgusting and dangerous death threats against Members of Congress and call on House Republicans to forcefully do the same.
Donald Trump incited a violent attack on the Capitol on January 6th as part of a treacherous attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. [Text from here to the end highlighted in blue.] The President's violent and unhinged rhetoric against American patriots is consistent with his well-documented history of attacking prisoners of war, Gold Star families and war heroes. There is no bottom when it comes to Donald Trump.
We have been in contact with the House Sergeant at Arms and the United States Capitol Police to ensure the safety of these Members and their families. Donald Trump must immediately delete these unhinged social media posts and recant his violent rhetoric before he gets someone killed.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7rswox7cejx2njnwr5w7ptoc/bafkreihvgvixl42ulj5wfjntodwd7ojgi3jyonz7xjeyfafum4f22plsla@jpeg)

The book scared me so much that I read it all night because I didn’t want to turn the light off.
I recorded this (VHS ftw) when it screened in the UK and watched it many times. David Soul and James Mason and the cast were fantastic and the effects were creepily effective.

I watched an orb weaver spider shaking the last raindrops from the middle of her web this morning. By the time I had gone out to try to video her she had gone back to hiding, so here’s a bad photo of the web instead. 1/

Audiobooks are helping me catch up with some of the (so, so many) authors and books I’ve meant to read.
Currently reading First is Ursula K. Le Guin ‘The Farthest Shore’ (third in the Earthsea series) and Richard Wagamese ‘One Story, One Voice’.
