Holllyyyy crap the new paid leave law in MN is AMAZING.

I was happy it was there but not frankly paying much attention because I am self employed. So, like, I figured it wouldn't apply to me.

NOT SO! For $300 a YEAR I can buy in to the scheme that will give me 66% of my average weekly income if I get hurt, or if I have to take care of someone. Like for Pookie's top surgery. Or if one of the many aging boomers in my life need help. (People with actual employers have this all paid for by their employer. Like it's mandatory. But I am my employer, so I get to choose. And I am choosing to pay in because this is amazing.)

BUT WAIT!

It can also be for taking care of people I'm not related to, as long as I'm not charging them for care. A law that supports found family! Amazing! Anybody can take care of anybody they care about enough to do this for!!!

It also covers bonding time for new adoptions, bonding time for non-carrying parents, and, not helpful for me but amazing. you can also use it to safely get out of a domestic violence situation!

They did a good job on this one.

Voting does matter.

BASED ON MY AVERAGE WEEKLY INCOME IN MY HIGHEST PAID MONTH????? NOT THE ANNUAL AVERAGE????? WHAT GLORIOUS MAD SORCERY IS THIS?

Holy crap do you know how much I worry about what happens if I can't work for a while? Pookie works to, more than me actually, but largely for our health insurance. We can't come close to covering the bills on just one income.

PS that $300 a year is based on MY income. It's LESS if you make less!

leebrontide

And! And! People who make less than $700 a week get a higher % of their average income! They get 90% instead of 66%. Whereas richer people get 50%, with a cap on how much.

This is so reasonable!

Minnesotans who are self-employed or don't have benefits through their employer, you can learn more here! Non-Minnesotans, you can also check out this neato program if you think you might like to try and get your electeds to do it too. God, I wish this had been available when my mom was dying. I would have gotten to spend so much more time with her.

Welcome to Plantagenet Lampshade! Current events sometimes have historical echoes, and that has barely ever been more true than it was this

Join @grand-duchessa and @scribblesincrayon for the first-ever episode of Plantagenet Lampshade, a quick riff on certain events in 2026 and George of Clarence’s downfall in 1478.

August 22, 1485 | Richard Plantagenet, King Richard III of England dies | Age 32

“King Richard late mercifully reigning upon us was thrugh grete treason … was pitiously slane and murdred …[sic]” - The City of York

He was thirty-two years old, had reigned two years, one month, twenty-eight days. The only language, it turned out, in which he had been able to communicate himself successfully to the world was the terse idiom of courage, and the chief subject he had been given to express was violence. It had begun for him as a child in violence and it had ended in violence; the brief span between had been a tale of action and hard service with small joy and much affliction of spirit. If he had committed a grievous wrong, he had sought earnestly to do great good. And through his darkening days he had kept to the end a golden touch of magnanimity. Men did not forget how the last of the Plantagenets had died. Polydore Vergil, Henry Tudor’s official historian, felt compelled to record; “King Richard, alone, was killed fighting manfully in the thickest press of his enemies.” - Paul Kendall Murray

I hope I'm not just a mutual to you, but someone you want to bring up in irl conversation so you have to awkwardly and cryptically say "my friend..." and refuse to elaborate on my origins or the origins of our friendships
