Beautiful 1973 Tudor style home in Duluth, GA. 3bds, 3ba, 3,882sqft, $910k, $48/mo HOA. The listing says it's a candidate for renovation- it's perfect, and they think it should be modernized.

I would hope that a new buyer wouldn't listen to the real estate, and come in and take this all down. Look at the turret from inside- a rounded stone wall as soon as you enter.

The stairs wrap around the curve in the main entrance hall.

Lovely columns at the entrance of the sitting room.

Beautiful fireplace wall.

Right off the sitting room there's a sunny conservatory with a door to the garden.

The rounded stone wall continues into the spacious dining room. WHAT are they talking about, candidate for renovation????? Look at the leaded glass window.

Spacious kitchen with a lovely eat-in area.

Very nice.

This is so pretty.

Huge family room with a brick fireplace. There's a balcony above and a bar in the corner.

Lovely primary ensuite with doors to the terrace.

Across the street there's a beautiful water feature.

A 5 car garage.

Large outdoor patio.

And, a gazebo.

This beautiful home needs no renovation. 0.95 acre lot.

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

🗣️ Hey, young Americans:

Old Millennial American speaking here. I need you to adopt this mentality as early as possible and hold to it. The older you get, the harder it is to begin this practice and claw back the extremely unhealthy effects of a workaholic lifestyle. I am speaking from 20 years of experience.

This does not mean having a shitty attitude at work, or not doing your job, or relying on co-workers to carry your water.

This means you do what it says above. It also means not making work and productively your entire personality; not tying your productivity to your value; and not becoming so emotionally enmeshed in your work and workplace so that you are living and dying by what happens there.

Good luck out there. American workplace culture is mostly designed to work you to death. Moving against that tide can be challenging, so having a healthy mindset is important to living a life not consumed by your paid labor.

its so weird to me that cis people will dislike their name so ardently and yet. not change it. you guys know that’s an option, right. no one can make you keep the shit name your mom gave you. no, not even her.

One of my friends in undergrad changed his name because he didn’t want to bear the name of his abusive and absent father. It’s been years since he did it, and he still says that it was the single best decision of his life.

One of my friends in high school changed his named as soon as he turned 18, so that the ethnic name his family gave him was finally the name reflected on all of his paperwork. He told me that he understood why his parents had given him an “English” name, but that he felt that if he needed to assimilate in order to succeed, then that was a type of success that he didn’t want.

When I was on my way home from the courthouse after changing my own name, I got into a conversation with my rideshare driver, who was extremely interested once I told him what I was in court for, and wanted to know how I’d done it, how much it cost, was it difficult, etc. It turned out that his girlfriend had chosen the name “Yo-yo” when she came to the United States, unaware of how rare that was as a name, and that she was frequently made fun of because of it. Neither one of them had realized that a name change was so easy, and he told me he was excited to let her know that she had options.

There was an intern at a summer job I had once, who changed her name to be the same name, but a different spelling. She said that she had no idea why her parents had spelled her name so oddly to begin with, and suspected that it was just an honest mistake either by them or by some nurse, but it had been a headache for her entire life, and it was a huge relief to not need to be correcting people’s spelling on important documents anymore.

One of my exes legally changed his name to have an exclamation point, because he liked to sign his name with an exclamation point.

You can always change your name if you don’t like it. You always have that option. It doesn’t matter why – it can be conformist or anti-assimilationist, serious or silly, a minor change or a major change. Your name is yours, and you have every right to change it to be whatever you want.

Pine Barrens Tree Frog (Dryophytes andersonii), male calling, family Hylidae, southern AL, USA

There are 3 disjunct populations of this frog, named after the NJ Pine Berrens area, in and around NJ, the Carolinas, and SO AL.

The strange distribution is most likely due to severe habitat loss.

Hear the call here.
