I recently lost my job and I am struggling with whether I should start looking for a job on a campaign or something in the field I have experience in. Part of me doesn’t think I can handle pouring all my time into getting Trump out of office but I also don’t think I can sit by idle during this election cycle.
My country is on fire. My cousins came within literal feet of losing their property but are safe for now. I feel so helpless sitting here in suburbia, unable to do any more than donate money and cry. It feels like the apocalypse is nigh and there’s nothing we can do.
Reading those quotes, combined with the impeachment, Iran, people encouraging Donj to run for office????, has got me like, so fucking tired. It’s only Jan. 4, FFS!
I’m so impressed with your ability to figure that out. Im a problem solver of a similar variety. Also, l believe you live in Seattle? so also glad you figured it out before you got ticketed.
It must be the post-Christmas /New Year blues or something, but I can’t help but think that as bad as we all thought 2019 was, 2020 is going to be worse (on both a personal and bigger scale).
Months ago, my husband lost his car keys, and when he had a locksmith come out and rekey the car, he decided to only rekey the steering column, since he can just use his fob to unlock the door and the locksmith wanted another $100 to do the door. A week ago the fob stopped working, and replacing the battery in the fob …
I didn’t know who Carry Nation was so thank you for that wikipedia rabbit hole. She sounds amazing and slightly batshit crazy. Like, it sounds like some sort of mental illness ran through her whole family. But it also said she opened a shelter for wives and children of alcoholics that was an early model for modern…
Or the military. Rape certainly happened there before women were allowed in the ranks.
I love that Carry Nation used to sell hatchet brooches to cover her legal fees, etc. The idea that other women would wear them around to let people know that, “Yeah, I’ll cut up your shit too,” warms my heart. You can still find them on the secondary market, but they’re a bit expensive, but would be worth it if…
One word: prison.
As I’ve explained to the Emily Yoffes of the world, including my mother....
Ah yes let’s do this thing that failed terribly once before and actually caused alcohol consumption to go up.
Does this apply to happy drunks? Because I partake quite liberally on quite a frequent basis and never thought about raping, pillaging, hurting anyone (ok, i think I want to fight in a big bar brawl, but it never happens). I’m more of a happy drunk who would rather ride shotgun and talk with complete strangers amongst…
Im always in the greys, but as a current museum studies student who helped unionize the last museum I worked at, I feel like the target audience for this article.
Fun discussion. An unmentioned Ruritanian fantasy film: The Prince and The Showgirl (1957), in which earthy American dancer Marilyn Monroe gets caught up with stuffy Ruritanian prince Laurence Olivier. This falls squarely into the post-war ‘American girl conquers stuffy mitteleuropean guy’ oeuvre and is an absolute…
I often don’t have a problem with younger men, but for sure at this firm it’s a different culture. It doesn’t help that the ‘project manager’ is more than 10 years younger than I am, and this is his first time as a project manager. I’ve been project managing longer than he’s had a career. He does have a problem…
My Dream Job at New Firm has turned out to be politically challenging...
I am happy to report that I start trauma counselling on January 6. I am however very unhappy to report that I have contracted an std. 2019 needs to just hurry up and die already.
I am completely panicking over this monstrous administration talking about making changes to SS disability. As I understand it, they are considering changing the rules on how often people’s eligibility is reviewed, shortening the time periods. Just like food assistance, many thousands of people could end up in deep…
