  • If I have to see a thousand posts about Trump listening to music at a rally for thirty minutes or Elon's stupid taxi, then goddamn it, I can enjoy watching a somewhat progressive up-and-comer and a midwestern treasure be humans for five minutes.

    If you don't like any of the above, you're in for a shock if you want to follow literally any news feed.

  • Oh, it is already that time of the week where the media pushes this as new information?

    Wake me up when his drafty attic actually results in removal from the Republican ticket or breaks through the Republican voter information blockade.

  • I didn't get converted to a permanent position after a whole year at my job. The only negative feedback (among otherwise great remarks) I had was six months in:

    1. Be more organized and send updates more often.
    2. Speak without tangents or sounding scattered.
    3. Improve prediction of how long tasks will take and completion dates when considering other priorities.

    Does anyone want to guess my diagnosis?* Lol

    The maddening thing is that I didn't get any follow-up after those comments until five months later, when I got the surprising news that they would not be continuing with me. If I had thought my subsequent med change and work strategies were not, in fact, improving my performance, I would have pursued accommodations.

    It's ADHD.

  • Don't forget that showing up BETWEEN ELECTIONS to shape your local political scene is how real, long-term change in politics is accomplished.

    I wonder how many of these people who claim they can't vote for Harris because they "need to teach the Democratic Party a lesson" have participated in primary elections or attended local party meetings to affect change.

  • I know that sleeping on your left side is best for heartburn due to the way our stomachs are oriented.

    Not sure about other reasons. I like side sleeping with a pillow between my legs for my shitty back pain, but maybe that's just me.

  • And I'm going to add something that helps me talk to my therapist: "If it's mentionable, it's manageable."

    After you've tried to deal with something yourself and haven't succeeded, telling someone about what's going on, no matter how unimportant or embarrassing or burdensome or shameful it feels, is the first step to living a life of contentment.

  • n+1 here, but I'm a bi woman married to a straight man and I've started using partner more recently because there's a lot of baggage in the history of power dynamics associated with the titles of husband and wife.

    I also hope it makes people think for a minute if they need to ask me clarifying questions about my marriage status or sexuality/how the person I'm married to identifies.

    At the same time, I totally understand the impact of not using generic words when it comes to gay marriage, where there was such a long fight to be recognized as husband and husband. So cheers to you and your husband!

  • I'll say many cities have a club that rents out supplies or even has club hives you can use to get started. Also, I don't live in a huge city and I've seen used hives and frames for sale more than I thought I would, so it's worth keeping an eye out for those as well.
