Meanwhile in a place that has compassion. That's amazing. I went to work the day after my loss, started bawling, and went to find an administrator to tell them I wasn't going to stay. I was given a ton of shit for leaving and not working that day. LT for a hug. I feel the same where I was so heartbroken following our loss and could not focus on work. Months later when our company got back charged for a mistake on plans I broke down after seeing the date of the design change was the week after my loss and it was like a gut punch. Good for NZ for their compassion. I even had asked whether I could take time off for the death of a family member (child) and was denied for paid leave, but could use my own PTO.

We're waiting for POTUS to start his press conference. I'm going to make a thread. I'll live blog anything noteworthy.

The likes are hugs. I hate how fucked up work attendance policies are in this country. Good on New Zealand.

And a palate cleanser of Ossoff. Amy was definitely thinking that pretzel is Rokita's head at the end there her snacking through it was definitely a mood π€£

That is complete bullshit you were denied. I'm so sorry. Sometimes the US policies are so heartless.

Iβm sorry for everyone who had to work during or after a loss. I cannot imagine. When I was working, I would have absolutely covered for someone in that situation. Spoiler personal story When I was at the very beginning of my pregnancy with DS2, I started bleeding. That was the longest weekend ever. I was at work when the dr called and said nothing could be done. Pretty sure I spent at least 3 of those 5 hours, on and off, crying in the bathroom. Because my RE office staff was awesome, I was able to get in the next morning to have an ultrasound and have blood work done. That was even a lot.

I wish a sense of normalizing and understanding pregnancy loss was improved here in the US.

I wish a sense of normalizing and understanding pregnancy loss was improved here in the US. I wasn't that far along, but I got to school and looked at my planner and saw my lesson for the day was the science of conception. I just could not teach that while actively losing a pregnancy. I agree, we need more understanding and empathy around loss.

Good on New Zealand. I'm sorry so many have had to suffer through trying to go about things as normal during such a traumatic experience.

This thread is a LOT There is a lot and more in the comments. It doesnβt seem to be verified at this point, even by a news article from the area or time. Spoiler for triggers

I'm so sad about Jessica Walter! "It's one banana, how much could it cost? $10?" is a phrase uttered in my home on a regular basis.

I hope someone keeps her safe, she just put a massive target on her back. She posted his name and everything. People did comment for her to remove that comment in order to stay safer. Also said she left home at 15. So much.

Using his name, title, the time frame, the specifics, etc - makes me believe she's not lying.

Obligatory duck Ted Cru.z. I saw that he refused to mask up even after reporters asked him too. Heβs the worst.
