Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

lisah, I continue to be surprised that I can be surprised.

That anyone is willing to distribute notices with such unprofessional and partisan language, within the agency. I'd forgotten what it was like.

Funny thing: I was coming up on my three-year cycle to retake the agency Civil Rights training. I wonder if it will be cancelled. Probably, because the folks who give it will be suspended.

Christ, these people are assholes.

Mr fleas meeting resulted in nothing for now. He is trying to get officially attached to the office in Narragansett, which is a lot closer to us than Ohio but still a hell of a commute.

Mr flea feels like you, Connie. People feel various things about the EPA but his work is basically “let’s have safe drinking water and keep sewage out of rivers and the ocean.” It’s one of the less controversial messages.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Karl, thank you for thinking of us. We're fine; it's not our school or neighborhood. It's the second school shooting in Nashville in under two years, though, so hard to really feel, you know, OK with it all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow, lisah!

Glad your folks are out, ND, and that you are ok, Kate

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Claiming it was because she had too much DEI

We got notification today that we have to remove every reference to DEI in our entire nursing curriculum. We would be reported if we leave it in, so I probably shouldn't say anything. I am on a DEI committee that is now disbanded. I was the fat activist.
