Person who makes twice as much as me: Just in time for busy season!

Me: *has been working 70 hours a week* where.... have you.... been....

When people expect you to excel in your recovery WHILE trying to survive a pandemic

you know it’s bad when your reaction to your coworker’s “6 weeks old” post is OMG I’M HALFWAY DONE

Higher-up on one of my teams at work: Hi so your growth plan for the year says we should be giving you opportunities for X and Y around this time, do you want to do that?

Me: My growth plan was written before one person on the public ed team had a baby and the other quit... and before there was a global crisis slamming public education :D

It is not your bishop’s job to make you comfortable. It’s even less her job to make a theoretical Tr*mp supporter comfortable. It’s her job to preach the gospel, and if you don’t like that, you may turn off the zoom call.

I see we have reached the “feel pity for me I have white people feelings about Joe Biden’s relationship with black people” stage of this situation.

i wish i had somewhere to sing

remember how malia obama never tweeted incriminating emails of herself colluding with foreign powers. i miss that.

[ingtarwolf-deactivated20181002]

No she just smoked weed while being guarded by federal agents. But please. Keep acting like either side has a right to the moral high ground.

[algo-hermoso]

You’re really fucking stupid if you think a teenager smoking weed is comparable to a grown adult colluding with foreign powers to shift the election.

[confettiandcommunion]

Also she.... isn’t.... guarded by federal agents anymore.

“Oh yes I, person who lives with a hospital worker in KIRKLAND, will drive THREE HUNDRED MILES visit my 78 yo sister who visits her extremely high-risk 80 yo husband in a nursing facility five days a week because I ~miss~ her and then I will go to the grocery store WITH her instead of idk helping her with delivery or going by myself.”

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

[confettiandcommunion]

If it’s 7pm on the west coast and you’re working with someone on the east coast... It’s not their work hours. No. Nope. Sorry. Not here.

Shockingly, not all elections are about your feelings.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

everyone who says they’re not going to vote if biden gets the nomination knows they’re also passing up on voting for other shit, right?

like, just some of the seats up for voting this year:

35 senate seats

13 governors

a shitload of state legislature and other local elections

every single fucking house of representatives seat

you know the shit that’s been happening in the house since 2018? you know how the senate has been stonewalling fucking everything? did you know that Mitch McConnell’s seat is one of the seats up for grabs this year? if you give a fuck about non-shitty laws being passed and not giving the republicans control of every government branch (again), then you should fucking vote.

and in case that wasn’t pants-shitting enough, the 2020 census means that the state governments elected this year get to choose the redistricting process that determines districts for the next 10 years. if the republicans take your state legislature, it is practically a guarantee that your state will be gerrymandered to hell. if you give a fuck about gerrymandering (and trust me, republicans do), then you should fucking vote.

if you let all this shit slide by staying home on election day, if you give up your vote because the only election you know or care about it is the presidential one, that’s not fucking praxis.

[confettiandcommunion]

Reelecting Trump is also not fucking praxis but what do I know?

[confettiandcommunion]

Priest: Can you make this massive volunteer commitment to something you have no experience in?

Me: Thanks for offering, but I think I would be really bad at that, so you should find someone else!

Priest: That is not a good enough reason! Give me another one!

[confettiandcommunion]

If your candidate couldn’t win a majority of the black vote in a Democratic presidential primary, don’t come at me with some bullshit about blaming the politicians. One politician is to blame, and it’s not Jim Clyburn.
