how is life treaing everyone? what's an update from your life lately? i'm hosting a human library program at my library this evening featuring a drag queen, college professors, and someone from our lgbtqia+ resource center. we're getting a lot of complaints from the public because popular opinion is we're doing a "drag queen story hour." it's actually a program aimed at adults and will be more academic in nature. people sure get angry!

404? haha! your soul now belongs to us.

yeah that small subset of loud people are real dumb!! glad you're doing it, but it won't be fun wading through all the people screaming pedophile because they have no idea what they're talking about. my life is stressful and i want to stop working forever!!! ha ha.

i'm sorry things are stressful. not working is great. i quit a job in 2021 due to a toxic work environment and didn't work for 3 months. other than worrying about paying bills, it was wonderful. i would take my kids to school, go on a hike, come home and do chores, pick up my kids from school, have dinner with family, and have some downtime before repeating it again the next day. i was pretty relaxed!

yeah, that's the good life!! if we ever have a solid hit or some real funding i will take two weeks off and maybe extend my lifespan a little. (n/t) (exodus) (19:13:30 06/29/23 est)

i do like it down there! but rarely get all the way down to san diego (n/t) (exodus) (13:26:58 07/05/23 est)

i'm feeling pretty good - my union won a historically strong agreement from my employer by organizing very aggressively for well over year to get rank and file members involved and ready to strike if the company wouldn't meet our demands. the agreement we got is a huge improvement and only happened because of how credible our threat against our employer was, which feels pretty amazing. it has yet to be officially ratified, but considering it's nothing but concessions from our employer and gains for us, i'm very confident it will be within a couple weeks. there's always hope.
