WaPo says DC, VA, and MD schools are closed today… but I didn’t get anything from our school district about closures… so I think there is still school? We go til next Wednesday. We are like the last people still in school, aren’t we? I’m in NY and our last day is Thursday. 😭

We are like the last people still in school, aren’t we? VA schools should all be closed bc it became a state holiday last year. But my kids are done for the year so idk Eta: but maybe they aren't doing the "observed" thing since the actual holiday is tomorrow That’s all good to know. There does appear to be school. I’m kind of surprised they aren’t observing it today, since it was made a holiday last year!

I’m kind of surprised they aren’t observing it today, since it was made a holiday last year! Depends on your state’s attendance rules and stuff. It’s a state holiday here as of last year, but since it is on a Saturday, it isn’t observed on Friday unless the local governments decide to close or the districts want to observe it today. Saturday holidays here usually mean an extra day in the time off bank. Sunday holidays are observed on Mondays.

Yes, and after the break Whoopi apologized and said that's not how she wanted to conduct herself. Meghan then (what appeared to be reluctantly) apologized as well. Was nice of Whoopi to apologize, but has no one ever taught Meghan not to constantly interrupt when someone else is speaking? As long as you say, "With all due respect" you're allowed to do or say whatever you want and no one is allowed to get offended

School and work calendars aside, I'm so glad to see this become official. Obviously a federal holiday doesn't fix structural racism but acknowledgment of the structure is one component in dismantling it. A counterpoint that is important: What Walmart Doesn’t Get About Juneteenth nyti.ms/3iPE0rD

H’s office is in a tizzy. And the contractors are very confused about what they should do if the feds are off. 🤣 Spoiler: the contractors are still working. Even the ones "on vacation" 😑 My H's office closed! Mine gave us permission to use a floating holiday. Gee thanks.

I just had to shut down my first white-centering comment during my (all white) team huddle re: Juneteenth. I expect more to come and am happy to do it.

Ronny Jackson has concerns about Biden's mental state.
...
ETA: Several other GOO reps are with him in calling for Biden to do a mental evaluation.

Our school ends next Wednesday. We don’t get Juneteenth off this year but it is already a scheduled day off next year.
The thing is though unless you work in a govt job, most private sector employers aren’t going to acknowledge it.

Anyone else get the blank email from HBOMax?
People are sharing cute stories of how they fucked up but survived, since an intern apparently sent it.

I got the test email as well, figured it was an error and just deleted it. I also was trying to stream HBO max earlier for my background while working and it seems to be down.
