For someone wearing transitions lenses, you got awfully upset when I shared my preferred pronouns.

I have no words for whatโ€™s happening in our red states. Itโ€™s truly frightening.

Ukraine๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ not going to bargain with russia over Crimea, stated Adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podoliak.

โ€œAbout basics. The basis for real negotiations with russia is the complete withdrawal of russian armed groups beyond the internationally recognized borders of #Ukraine in 1991. Including Crimeaโ€

Adding that, there is no question of any territorial concessions or bargaining of Ukraineโ€™s sovereign rights.

'What do you do for a living?'

I eat, drink water, breathe, try to get enough sleep and exercise, and maintain my health as best I can.. And you?

No one should ever be forced to abort a wanted pregnancy. No one should ever be forced to surrender a wanted baby.
No one should ever be forced to endure an unwanted pregnancy. No one should ever be forced to bear an unwanted baby.
It really is that simple.

Good morning, friends. ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒผ

It's Friday and I know it's 5 PM somewhere so enjoy.

Yesterday, I had lunch with some of my former coworkers. Hmmm ... I started to use the work "old" instead of "former," but some of them are indeed not old. Okay, my train is trying to jump the track. Oops, there it goes.

I used to look forward to weekends, sometimes. My old job would often require me to work up to 20 days without a weekend break. During those times I would joke that "Thank God it's Friday. I did this with a smile because other than the weird hours, it was a pretty good job. When actual "take a break," weekends came they were usually pretty long, sometimes several days. I have to say, the anticipation of a weekend was usually much more exciting than the actual weekend.

โ€œWeekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them.โ€ - John Shirley

Another economic success story from the Biden Administration๐Ÿ™‚: The prime-age employment rate is now higher than the pre-recession peak.

And it did so in record time, despite starting from a lower base.

It's been a historically rapid and complete recovery. Took over 12 year to get back to pre-recession peak following the Great Recession -Skanda Amarnath

@StillIRise1963 They will always but a veneer of legitimacy on it, but it's only there for the people who are looking to believe it. If you're a racist in your heart then you will jump through every hoop and believe every line of bullshit that makes you feel like the rules are fair and your people did nothing wrong.

I am going to try to use this latest annoyance as an opportunity to grow my presence on other platforms, including here on Mastodon.

I need all my young followers to know that Uranus basically never stops being funny, and yes, most adults will forever have to fight back giggles

We pretty much only put on the serious face when teaching kids, outside of the classroom that mask drops super fast

It's like a whole conspiracy to try and convince kids it's not funny, but the conspiracy has failed, and yet we persist
