Middle class complaints
On the phone with the company managing my 401(k), and he keeps tap-dancing on my last nerve till I snap.
No, you're not looking out for my welfare, your company wants to make money for itself. *You* are legally required to make money for your company. I don't even enter the picture. Don't pretend you care about my retirement, you care about your next bonus. Every fund offered is a gamble, and your company keeps losing - with my money!
Meltdown achieved. Thanks for that.

Well, the current started getting rough,
The tiny ship was lost.
If not for the negligent crew at hand,
The passengers would be safe, the passengers would be safe.
The ship's still lost and likely gone
with the CEO'ooooo and no first mate,
The billionaire, and no wife
the other billionaire plus one more
a 4th billionaire, and a fifth one too....

#sorrynotsorry but asking marginalised people to CW their lived experiences is not okay. Youβre more than welcome to block me. I donβt get to choose not to be Black. I donβt get to choose CW in the physical world. Maybe instead of coming at peopleβs lived experiences to out into the physical world & tell off the deplorable people

"The U.S. has retired around 14 gigawatts of coal capacity, or roughly 7 percent of the coal fleet, since the start of 2022." (!)
@rbreich I was a child when the Mississippi Three were brutally murdered by KKK. The awful details were all over the news. I was young, but remember the horror.
Growing up during the Civil Rights Movement gave me a thirst for justice that has never abated. I will never forget these young men and the many other women and men who gave their lives to ensure the right to vote.
RIP Mickey, Andrew, and James.
Heros.
59 years ago, white supremacists murdered Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman, & James Chaney. Of them, James Chaney most symbolized
that era and geographical space. Such crimes against Black people were commonplace, yet often went unnoticed by White America. Every Black family had a story of someone whoβd gone missing. But after Goodman & Schwerner, something had to be done. The racists were going after white people too.

I had a milestone birthday recently, which I was told deserves a frivolous gift. Today I'm going to receive a diamond, to be set in an earring. Nothing too ostentatious, a .25 carat, but D color, and IF, so a very nice not-too-ostentatious diamond. It'll replace my gold stud.

Half of the homeless are over 50, and nearly half of those first became homeless after they turned 50". Our brutish and greedy society literally uses people up and throws them away in the name of "freedom". We have to do better. We need affordable housing and universal access to health care. #homelessness

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.
