99.9% of jobs do not require urgency of any kind, really they don't. We've all had a boss who acts like someone will die if we don't hit some made up deadline by people who don't even do the job. No one needs their meal 1 minute faster or the paperwork before tomorrow morning. Your time off actually doesn't need to wait. Sometimes I think about how legitimately bad most businesses are at time management and hiring, and I wonder how they manage to exist at all.

Some of y'all are still confused as to why it seems that Silicon Valley billionaires are "turning to Trump." That's because you don't listen to Black people, you disrespect poor white people, and you ignore obvious statistics that have been staring you in the face for decades.

Silicon. Valley. Billionaires. Have. Always. Supported. Trump.

Not because they like the tax breaks. Because they are more likely to be racist, and racism is the greatest predictor of Trump support.

one time in college a woman friend said she considered me "non-threatening" with the nicest smile. at the time i tried very hard not to consider it a backhanded compliment.

it's taken more than a few years to realize it was a pretty darn glowing compliment

The #LoblawsBoycott continues. Nice work, Bell’s Corner #ottawa

Screenshot of a Google Maps business listing showing a bar graph of in-store traffic. It shows that the FreshCo in Bell’s Corners is about as busy as normal.

One of the things I love is when a noob starts watching Trek shows for the first time, and they're like, This is so silly, it's ridiculous, that guy turned into a lizard and impregnated his captain, that lady got possessed by a sex ghost that belonged to her grandma, the captain is sorting a room full of floofy guinea pigs, the ship runs on mushrooms, this theme song makes no sense, and I'm just like Yeah, isn't it great?! You either get it or you don't, I don't know what to tell you.

Presidential debate moderators but ones who ask direct questions, provide meaningful context, remove wiggle room for candidates, and are equipped with tasers.

The other day at work, in an online meeting, a fuckhead said the phrase “Well, it’s probably because she’s a woman and she doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about”, referring to an external contractor.

I’m not out, but I stopped the meeting and said “You don’t get to talk like that in front of me. Now, I have to call HR.”

There was laughter. To which I replied sternly, “It is not funny. Do better.”

There was no laughter then.

I don’t put up with that shit. Misogyny, any kind of trans- or queer- based phobia, racism. None. That’s how you ally - you speak up. You challenge the notion that these fuckers are in a safe place. You DO have power to create change. Be the voice for the voiceless.

Afterwards, two of the other attendees reached out to me to thank for my courage to stand up to one of the “cool kids”. I don’t need thanks, I need people to be better.

BE BETTER.

It really annoys me that Memory Alpha's entry for Michael's son is "Leto Booker". He's credited as "Captain Leto". Kwejian people have only one name; Book's given name was Tareckx and "Cleveland Booker" is a name passed down to those the previous Booker considered worthy of it. If Leto has a surname at all, it should be Burnham.

Two things can be true at the same time:

1. Antisemitism exists and is bad.
2. Justified criticism of the political state of Israel is not antisemitism.

"Once more let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt. It may even wear a dress shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power and special privilege."

• Tommy Douglas.

Having great days like yesterday is so important. I spent time with people and talked to them and had fun. I felt very present in situations.

Then I always think this is the new me. I'm going to be like this forever.

And the next day I'm feeling down and tired, just trying to cope. Couldn't even eat anything proper. Everything is too much today.

Oh, well. Looking forward to the next easy day. #ActuallyAutistic

The obvious pain points here are the cost of living which makes working more important than attending classes and a cohort that went to school with COVID accommodations and know in-person classes aren't required or even particularly useful half the time.
