We're moving our office of 30+ years next week and of course every single client wants their stuff the day before we move, so I've not been engaged and only catching stuff here. If something super big happens please to tag me multiple times.
I almost got into it with the checker at the grocery store this morning when she said 'things just aren't going to change, like the president, we can't do anything about it right now' and 'I thought I saw where Oprah was going to run.' At that point I took a deep breath and realized shes the 'general public who doesnt give a fuck' about what the president does and isnt cognizant of anything beyond her bubble. Told her to have a nice day and went home and realized 8 am is too early to start drinking, so I came in to work to get my things done so I can pack my desk. I really wish my boss hadn't packed his booze up yet though.

My husband reminded me today is April Fools by going “remember it’s April Fools so beware if you see anything saying [45] is resigning!”
What a weird way to remind me..

Is this the shortest weekly thread we’ve had in a very long time?

I had a weird conversation with my mother yesterday about regulating social media — she got very heated about how we shouldn’t regulate free speech and it’s the thin end of the wedge and shouldn’t we just trust these companies to self-regulate, especially now that their stock has plunged and they’re motivated to do something to win back public trust?
It’s just....really jarring to me when my mom, who was a 60s hippie and is very socially liberal, takes a stance against some innocuous thing that I’ve said and it all of a sudden becomes an unexpected argument. And she isn’t a good listener, so of course all of my very good talking points about regulation not having anything to do with free speech were kind of lost on her. And she gets frustrated pretty easily so as soon as I argue back she goes “Ok ok! You win can we not talk about it?”
Ugh. So unsatisfying.

CurlieWhirlie I have family visiting this weekend and there has been a lot of cringe.

I’ve defriended three people this week who think posting memes making fun of David Hogg are funny. Assholes, all of them. 😡

It kinda looks like that pink dress has more representation than people other than white.
