What Are My Options?

You’re being harassed at work. You know something’s not right. But you’re not sure what you’re allowed to do.

Here’s The Truth

You don’t have to:

Report it to your boss.

Start with HR.

Follow “the policy” if the policy is part of the problem.

You can:

Talk to a lawyer first, or a legal clinic or support org.

Start with a friend, a hotline, a notes app file.

Document it without reporting it.

Protect yourself before asking for help.

And no matter what they say, staying quiet isn’t the same as doing nothing. Sometimes it’s the smartest move you can make while you figure out what’s safe.

The system definitely isn’t built to protect you in many cases, but there are ways to protect yourself.

You have more options than they want you to think.

NOTE: This isn’t legal advice. It’s “you deserve to know your options” advice.

Trump aides exploring executive actions to curb voting by mail

Trump’s campaign and the Republican Party have taken to the courts dozens to challenge voting rules. Trump's aides are pondering possible executive actions.

“...Trump could try to stop local officials from counting remote ballots after Election Day and direct the Postal Service to not deliver certain ballots to voters using an emergency declaration...”

“‘I have the right to do it,’ Trump told reporters Monday.“

Call or email your local board of elections. In many locations, secure drop boxes for mail ballots will be available. In many locations, you can hand-deliver your absentee ballot directly to the board of elections. Drive-through voting may be an option. FIND OUT. They don’t want you to vote, because they will lose if you do.

Washington literally has a “Mutual Combat” law.

Which means if two people have an altercation, they can consent to a fight within a controlled area and tell the police, and they will act as referee. 

I’m just saying. If an asshole is causing a scene and you think you can probably take them, get their consent for it (without altercation)...bring the matter to the police and sanction yourself a fist fight.

Things You Should Consider Before Self-Publishing

Things You Should Consider Before Self-Publishing

Hey all! Things are going well and I’m starting to get really excited for NaNoWriMo! It’s going to be interesting finishing out the last book in a series. I’m kind of afraid to, to be honest. There’s a lot of years and effort going into that one big project. On the other hand, I’m really excited because once I’m done with Opus Requiem, I get to move on to other projects and explore new worlds and…
