When I go to work I leave my weirdness at home. But once I get home, I wear it like a tiara.
I was pleased to speak at U.S. Department of Laborβs Black Business Building Good Jobs event today during #BlackHistoryMonth and #NationalEntrepreneurshipWeek to emphasize the importance of small businesses in providing opportunities to historically underserved communities.

Tamir Rice - a little boy playing in a park, shot without warning by someone who should have been protecting him.
My guest to tonight's State of the Union is Ms. Samaria Rice, mother of Tamir Rice, who was murdered by Cleveland Police in 2014.
I pray that Ms. Rice's attendance at the SOTU will give her hope that we can address innocent deaths at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve us.
We cannot sustain this police brutality epidemic. Police reform through community-driven solutions must be one of President Biden's top priorities.

All my best ideas have to come from *somewhere*. It might as well be here.
Let's get ready to pushback. It's going to be a messy road ahead but we need to continue to support the Biden-Harris Administration for continued progress.
A lot of supporters and #khive will be using the #BidenHarris2024 hash tag tonight during and after the SOTU. Feel free to join us.

"I don't understand why stealing $1000 in one direction is a felony that DAs give people years for, but in the other it's a civil matter where restitution and a fine are the usual punishments."
Because that's the golden rule: they who have the gold make the rules.
On the flip side, time card fraud *is* a felony, and people regularly go to jail for it. Timecard fraud is when an employee:
* Knows that their pay is determined by when they clock in and clock out
* Knowingly clocks in when they are not working, or clocks out significantly after they have stopped working

He's just asking you to be a little more considerate, and schedule your illness in advance.
That can't be so hard, can it?
It appears you already have one π€
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
