"The Interior Department, meanwhile, planned to use the department’s email system to notify employees who would be furloughed and who will stay working — for example, watching over sensitive operations such as wildlife hatcheries and keeping clean water flowing to counties.

But that strategy seemed risky since federal employees are not allowed to check their email when the government is closed."

I think this is why the "dogs are just firm cats!!" line from Undertale cracks me the fuck up every time.

things I do when people call my name to ask me a question

make these following sounds:
- "weh?"
- "mou?"
- "bweh?"
- a meow
ELSE:
- process attention grabbing sound as low priority as a background task until it has been processed fully, then GOTO 10. Repeat if necessary.

things I don't do in this situation:
- say "yes? What would you like?" until i have done at least one of the above
- ever seem to tell the difference between THINKING I heard my name and actually being called.

Question for WLW

My sister is a 33 year old divorced bi woman who hasn’t been in a relationship with another woman before.

She is fairly high-femme (especially for Seattle), and is having trouble attracting and matching with other femmes.

Do you have any advice that I could pass along to her?

Cleaning up a customer's PC, I made the mistake of leaving a tab open on Yahoo's home page. Only 1 minute later: malvertized. Sunuva...

I did it again to pin down the cause, & indeed it's Yahoo's ads breaking out, taking over the page, & loading scary messages that make it difficult to leave.

I can't stress enough, folks, that an ad blocker is Internet SECURITY software.

Can we take a minute to appreciate comrade Mariela Castro Espin? She's the director of Cuba's Center for Sex Education (CENESEX), a deputy to the National Assembly, a Communist, and an unwavering champion of LGBT liberation as part of Cuba's revolutionary project

Thanks in large part to her work, Cuba
• runs PSA campaigns in print and broadcast media against LGBT discrimination
• officially participates in the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia
• explicitly includes free trans healthcare in the socialized medical system, and
• is about to adopta a new constitution removing heteronormative language from Cuba's definition of marriage!!!
