I didn't get converted to a permanent position after a whole year at my job. The only negative feedback (among otherwise great remarks) I had was six months in:

  1. Be more organized and send updates more often.
  2. Speak without tangents or sounding scattered.
  3. Improve prediction of how long tasks will take and completion dates when considering other priorities.

Does anyone want to guess my diagnosis?* Lol

The maddening thing is that I didn't get any follow-up after those comments until five months later, when I got the surprising news that they would not be continuing with me. If I had thought my subsequent med change and work strategies were not, in fact, improving my performance, I would have pursued accommodations.

Don't forget that showing up BETWEEN ELECTIONS to shape your local political scene is how real, long-term change in politics is accomplished.

I wonder how many of these people who claim they can't vote for Harris because they "need to teach the Democratic Party a lesson" have participated in primary elections or attended local party meetings to affect change.

I know that sleeping on your left side is best for heartburn due to the way our stomachs are oriented.

Not sure about other reasons. I like side sleeping with a pillow between my legs for my shitty back pain, but maybe that's just me.

And I'm going to add something that helps me talk to my therapist: "If it's mentionable, it's manageable."

After you've tried to deal with something yourself and haven't succeeded, telling someone about what's going on, no matter how unimportant or embarrassing or burdensome or shameful it feels, is the first step to living a life of contentment.

The most righteous tithing.

n+1 here, but I'm a bi woman married to a straight man and I've started using partner more recently because there's a lot of baggage in the history of power dynamics associated with the titles of husband and wife.

I also hope it makes people think for a minute if they need to ask me clarifying questions about my marriage status or sexuality/how the person I'm married to identifies.

At the same time, I totally understand the impact of not using generic words when it comes to gay marriage, where there was such a long fight to be recognized as husband and husband. So cheers to you and your husband!

I started in order to advance the deep state woke agenda and get paid by Soros, personally.

You're right about the leather processing. I didn't consider that.

I heard there's a new mushroom-based leather alternative that will hopefully get traction.

I'll say many cities have a club that rents out supplies or even has club hives you can use to get started. Also, I don't live in a huge city and I've seen used hives and frames for sale more than I thought I would, so it's worth keeping an eye out for those as well.

Yeah wtf. Seeing Dubai as the ultimate utopia is so weird.

Here's my weird question: if faux leather is plastic and someone is vegan for environmental reasons, would leather be preferable? What if it's a byproduct and would otherwise be trashed? These are things I think about as someone who tries to reduce my impact on the environment as much as I feasibly can in a capitalist society.
