Why is it that when some people break rules they expect a please and thank you before they correct their mistake? (This question brought to you by the latest asshat to ignore the sign instructing them not to park in certain places in our lot. The sign was the āpleaseā, dude.)

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

You get staffed on a show. Itās a dream come true. The 1st week is so fun. And then deadlines and notes hit, and people get nasty. Every day is full of stress and difficult situations to navigate. Itās happened to me a few times. SO HOW DO YOU SURVIVE A TOXIC ROOM? š§µ1

Schoolkids traumatized by lockdown drills and those who survived actual school shootings were then urged to "tough it out, school shootings are just a thing that happens."

If I were a liberal billionaire, Iād think about creating a new media outlet that could scoop up all the talent thatās been marginalized and offer a product that half this country would eagerly pay for. A true public service, but one with profits. Or you know, a big shiny rocket with my name on it.

Iāve said it before and Iām sure Iāll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. ā Your religion guides you, not all of us. Itās as simple as that.

As someone who needs to take the precaution of masking in public, this was very powerful. The last few years have been deeply demoralizing.

Iāve seen people talk about a lot of things that you should consider having on hand In Case Of Things Going Weird starting on January 20thāelectronics, food prep, and so forth. One thing I havenāt seen on any lists yet? A darning needle and darning thread.

Just insane that the left treated the tech industry with increasing hostility just because they undermined organized labor, flouted the regulatory state, and bragged that they were going to get rid of everybody's jobs for a decade straight.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved. We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

So, this
#NativeAmericanHeritageMonth
and every day after remember to prioritize Consent in how you interact with Native people and their communities. There are boundaries and boundaries are healthy. You are not entitled access to us, our bodies, cultures, and spaces.

We are not playing the "health is morality" game anymore. We should never have played it to begin with. The whole idea that if you have a pre-existing condition you have somehow earned severe illness and waved your right to compassion was pushed during lockdowns to make people spend again.

I have been vegetarian since age 10. I eat organic. I donāt eat dairy. On most days, my diet includes leafy greens, fruit, vegetables and beans or lentils. I still got achalasia. I still got long Covid. My heart still doesnāt work. These people believe health is willpower and itās unconscionable.

I hope we Americans can let go of our desire to be the individual Chosen One who leads the rebellion and punches every Nazi. Organizing is hard, it takes experience and resources and time. Stop fantasizing about being a superhero. Start joining existing groups and be part of collective action.

This too! The white cishet grievance culture IS identity politics! There's this concept in feminist theory of "marking." Who gets to be marked and whose identity goes unnoticed. Anyone not a white cishet dude is "Marked" by very nature of their existence.

For those who are mad and activated (good) my one hope is that you will look for the people already doing the work. You probably do not need to invent your own new organization or group. Find the people already doing it and join them, listen to them, learn from them.

This is the tail end of the long 20th Century. The future many of us thought weād be living in hasnāt even shown its face yet. All we can do is be there for each other as PEOPLE. Be strong for each other. Shame them with kindness,drive them mad with joy. Make a world their children leave them for.

-2% for being black. -2% for being a woman. Thatās all it took to make it this close (it is, in fact, not over). And the fact that the people in charge were more scared of ruining Americaās image (in their heads) than they were of allowing insurrectionists and traitors to roam free.

Bullshit, intimidation, and spin. If it doesnāt come from a Guild email, it was leaked to a friendly reporter by somebody on the other side, or some idiot agent freelancing. This is your mantra.

This is the key point and every studio board member and stockholder needs to understand it. Your executives are so horribly bad at business they've taken what could've been a small expense that gave them a ton of goodwill and turned it into a very, VERY expensive PR nightmare. Respond accordingly.

This is a strong article, highlighting a lesser known aspect of the strike if youāre not in the business: these chucklefucks took one of the most consistently profitable business models in American history, the countryās biggest export and tool of soft power, and drove it off a cliff.
