'Why We Fight'
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.
Apparently bathroom signs on campus are being changed to say "Biological Men" and "Biological Women," based on a new Ohio law.
Who is paying for this bit of state sponsored bullying?
Looks like some students went the simpler route
Excellent. That would be my inclination as well.
We’ve done that a lot since I moved, and I’m enjoying it.
Nice!
I went to a bridal shower today and decided two glasses of prosecco would be tasty -- which they were -- and now I'm lying in bed about to take a nice, long nap, because... two glasses of prosecco? Really, Jen? As if.
Timelies all!
Gary has left for the Builders' Show this morning. I went up to the RTC and took Mr. S out for the afternoon. It went well, even if he decided to return to the unit earlier than I had planned. Of course, there was a shopping trip to Target where instead of the $X limit he had stated, I ended up spending $X+20. Sigh...(no wonder he was happy- I bought stuff for him)
I'm a first-generation American
Yep. I’m also first gen and I have my citizenship through birthright.
I'm so sorry to hear the bad news about Shir's dad. Love and support to you, Shir!
Since assisted living has a lot of healthcare workers, we have a LOT of Haitians on staff, some of whom are surely losing their protected status, not to mention the children of same or the ones who have relatives who came over, et cetera et cetera.
Is there any way to suggest to Canada that they create an expedited refugee process for (at least some) of these people? Because health care worker shortages are a thing, there, too, and the ones America are trying to kick out are squeaky clean and vetted. They even speak French!
Sending love and hope for comfort to Shir and her loved ones. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Nilly, thank you for letting us know. You and Shir have both been in my thoughts a lot, especially through this last horrible week, and I wish there was not this loss for her on top of everything.
May his memory be a blessing.
Yep. I’m also first gen and I have my citizenship through birthright.
Same here. My folks did naturalize (they're sort of regretting that, but they were down here and wanted a say in the government), but after I was born.
Oh, Shir. Sending so much love to you.
Hi, friends. I'm so tired in so many ways, but I'm looking for hope where I can. I love your department and the students' ideas to resist, Hil, and the Yosemite Park Rangers' upside-down flag on El Cap is perfect. As I said recently on Bluesky, look to the librarians and the park rangers. They know how to resist and rebel.
