(well that took like 14 tries and let’s see if it even works, but HERE SHE IS in her lil Docs!) 

Hi SNS! I’ve been not on Jez on Saturday nights for like, months?? Kenderín and I are doing well, she’s currently trying to feed and look around at the same time (low success rate but sure she tries)

That got nuked, for good reasons. Some of us created a (much) smaller group on Discord after that. Good to see more people doing the same!

It’s been nice seeing so many Deadspin folks in our comments over here. Can't help but wonder how much longer we've got here at Jez. You people have helped me get sober. Helped me raise my teenager. Celebrated when I got married. What the fuck. I am so sad.

I’ve been instructed to share this screen shot I was able to take a few minutes ago. “Active experiments” indeed!

Unlike anyone in the white house now, those boobs are performing their job.

I won’t even travel across a king size bed for sex. You roll to me. 

Yes exactly. Taking a vacation does not really help. I work seven days a week across two jobs and I am completely burned out. Earlier this year I took a week vacation to Alaska for my 30th birthday. I came back to work and everyone was like “You should feel so much better now! All rested and relaxed right?” And I felt…

I gently disagree, though I’m sure it depends on the conditions to a great extent. There is therapy (for example ACT). Also, if there are labor laws, employers are obligated to change conditions that make you sick (I know too well that it doesn’t always work).

I’m a restaurant manager, and pretty good at what I do for the level I’m at... And burnout is a huge thing obviously, and unfortunately kind of unavoidable. I also have had real bad pain issues over the last year from both injuries and likely chronic/autoimmune problems just like my mom. I usually end up dealing with…

^this! I’ve been wondering for a couple of years if I was burned out but about two months ago reached a point where I can no longer even focus at my job unless it is an emergency. I understand that I am actually burned out now  - It is absolutely awful. I took a day off in April and I only felt better for that day.…

Seconded. I’m completely burned out and have been for going on six months. I dread the thought of going into work despite the job being good on paper. To the point as I get closer to my building the speed of my walk slows down because I don’t want to get to my office.

I know the people at Orlando Food Not Bombs (an amazing organization that has repeatedly won tough legal fights) and they will be the first to tell you that this is how it starts.

It’s no different than being prescribed narcotics for pain management, which clearly state right on the bottle that you’re not supposed to operate heavy machinery (which includes a car) while you’re using them. If you’re* high, regardless of whether you have an prescription to be that way, or if it’s legal in your…

The u/s said I was half a week or so past the cut off, which I was surprised to learn was that early in my liberal state. I heard the nurse mutter something to the doctor, he hissed in response, “I’m not sending her to [next state over].”

also, since @Mortal Dictata asked an “honest” question but keeps dismissing my honest answer:

Petty despots love nothing more than using what little power they’ve gained to mess with people who they view as “less-than”. I’m sure this guy has some sort of “sincerely held religious belief” that he will bust out when called out on it, but that’s never been anything other than a fig leaf on this sort of person’s…

This guy has to be a troll.
