Teammate got laid off on Friday.

This is AFTER we already lost a different teammate and weren't allowed to rehire for his position.

Today, I got the list of accounts I'll be adding to my workload, which also includes accounts from previous teammate.

Does the union care? Nah. Not a bit.

Snarking at my fucking union over BSky, as they post about how badass they are in defending their members.

They did exactly fuck-all when we're continuing to get laid off, and our workloads are increasing to accommodate the missing staff.

Pretend to protect members? Ha. Nah.

You cannot be pro-life and starve children.

You cannot be pro-life and starve children.

We formed a union at work, and are negotiating our first contract.... And now we're getting laid off. Lost a colleague in my department today.

Fucking livid.

Evidently, until the contract is bargained, we're all fair game. Lay off the people pushing for a union, and there will be no union.

Anyone automatically put their shields up when someone from high school unexpectedly reaches out?

We weren't friends then. Definitely not friends now. But, you're reaching out to "just say hi?" Hmmm. No thank you.

I do not need your MLM pitch. I'm not buying your leggings, lipstick, or makeup.

Cancelled our family's on Monday!

It's ridiculous, I know. But, I was looking forward to decorating and giving candy to trick-or-treaters this year. Evidently, we're having dinner with the in-laws.

"But it's Halloween!" I protest.
"Oh, that's right. It is." She shrugs.

This isn't worth a fight.
But I'm still bummed out anyway.

Trump orders Pentagon to start testing nuclear weapons 'on an equal basis' with other countries The U.S. voluntarily halted nuclear explosive testing in 1992, though it has the ability to restart tests at a site in Nevada.

Exactly how long will it take to build a nuclear fallout shelter? Can we come together and make it happen?

We don't test unless we're planning on using or threatening. And we're giving Miller, Trump, and Kegsbreath the controls. There's no way this ends well.

"I am a super soldier" I assure myself as I lean backwards behind the headboard to plug in the vibrator that died at an inopportune time. "This absolutely won't hurt my back in the morning."

I think about this every time I do something to protest -gestures wildly- everything.

But we remember the protesters sticking flowers into rifles, standing in front of tanks, sneaking aid into a warzone.

One person can light a spark that becomes a flame that grows until it's too big to ignore.

Heads up, the Trump regime has joined BlueSky, probably hunting for No Kings info.

Trump and Bibi agreed, no deals with Biden. Trump gets in office, allows Bibi to decimate the Palestinians, and when they make a real estate deal for Gaza, now we get a Cease Fire.

We've had Cease Fires before. This isn't victory. It's a temporary breather.

Increase a little bit? Who is he talking to??

Health care premiums are set to increase in Leader Thune's home state of South Dakota by TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE PERCENT (235%!!!) next year.

I feel so fucking abandoned right now. I show up to defend most of my followers when they're being attacked by bullshit. Did anyone show up for me?

Nope.

I know exactly who my friends are. They're the ones with matching scars.

I am so fucking livid.

I show up to defend so many of my so-called friends when haters attack their social media.

Someone shows up to attack me. Did a single fucking person show up to defend me?

Nope. Not a single person.

Cool. Cool. I ain't spending a single ounce of energy on anyone else.

Tweet from nicholegreene.author saying “In a time where purity culture is making a comeback, Taylor Swift releases an album full of loud, big happiness, a big fuck you to her haters, and unapologetically sexual lyrics. Art is resistance.” In the background are pictures of Taylor Swift and dancers dressed up like showgirls

Art. Is. Resistance.
