I have the extra fun times of being a public facing federal employee. We’ve always borne the brunt of ‘WHY ARE MY TAXES HIGH AND WHY CAN’T YOU FIX MY ROADS YOU DO NOTHING GUBMINT WORKER’ (well, sir, you live in Kentucky and well...we’re not in Kentucky right now) and we’re accustomed, but it’s gotten so much weirder.…

I’m trying to keep some of my sanity here but pretending. Maybe.

If you get rid of all the democrats in the department of interior, you’re going to have some seriously empty offices.

“I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will…

There was an interesting article a while back either here or somewhere similar about the trope of the fat/white/middle aged ‘leading man’. How he can walk around as such, gross and slovenly, and be considered ‘hot stuff’, mean while the shows are constantly picking at the wife character for having a hair out of place…

To make this suck less and remind us of all the wonderfully loved puppies that we all hope these dogs will have a chance to grow into, puppy thread:

Ok, not an artist, but I feel you can produce emotional provocation through art without showing restrained animals on treadmills trying to murder each other.

She was totally odd on the season with Dancing With the Stars she was on. Where she had a melt down because she was convinced that dancing the rumba with her partner was tantamount to cheating on her husband.

Bring back Bunheads.

I’m needing a good Fyre Festival story fix. It was so so (so so so) good for a while there, I was hooked. And now there hasn’t been any fun ridiculous wtfuckery in a while and I’m feeling sad.

Oddly enough, I ended up in physical therapy from NOT strength training.

I reached peak physical fitness at about age 11. Perfect balance of height and weight, excellent balance of slender body shape with muscle mass. Amazing balance.

Seriously. I can’t be too frustrated, I can’t read out loud to save my life either, but I don’t audition to READ OUT LOUD FOR TELEVISION either.

We did that when we didn’t have bathrooms or running water within a five minute walk from our duty stations for two months.

I am also of the creeper variety, but I only do it to my very closest friends, and they know it’s a ‘thing’ and only to the ones who have good reactions to it. I will come up behind them really quietly or peer behind corners real creepy like.

me tooooo.

Or you could be like in my job, where you have exactly 5 minutes to pee/poop AND get where ever you need to get. You better get that poop out and run.

The potential jurors reactions/responses are still a great, wonderful gem. I’m glad someone put them into needlepoint.

The tweet and the actual caption of the book explain his photo’s presence differently. The tweet, for having only 140 characters to work with, essentially boils it down to the ‘dictionary definition’ idea of ‘if you look up x word in the dictionary, your face would be next to it’ (which is physically what the textbook…
