First time making a meme. Never did it before. Inspired by #theowlhouse

I think the function of “mute for 24 hours” has stopped working. I still see the posts in the home feed… ☹️ @Damus #asknostr

Reminder to reread

Reminder to rewatch

asked: what does it mean to be managed out by a boss? It was an unpleasant and stressful experience. But part of it was, once I learned about this “managing out” strategy, that there is a word for this treatment, I basically refused to just quit my job. I was like, no, you are just going to fire me then. Because I think it’s wrong to use this “managing out” strategy. I think especially because I worked at an elementary school literally next to my apartment, and had already spent that first year bonding with some of the kids I was seeing. Then, it was another year or two before I knew what was going on, then COVID happened, and we switched to remote learning… so timing-wise, several things contributed to me staying for the whole 5 years of the ‘probationary period’.

It’s another rainy day, so I’m going to listen to lofi and think about things.

This needs more thought … because I’ve experienced people who do this in graduate school, in the workplace after grad school, and inexplicably, from neighborhood people walking their dogs. It’s like, why?! The first two settings I can somewhat understand because money is involved, and therefore, workplace politics.

May 9 - Daffodil “水仙花” 水 water 仙 immortal 花 flower #NostrartstrMay2025 #watercolor April of 2021 I had been staying at my parents’ house during the pandemic, and was adjusting to that and remote working. At some point, I made a discovery about Daffodils. My mom had made a small brick path in the backyard in the shape of an ampersand ‘&’, and in the middle of one of the loops, daffodils were growing. I thought they looked cramped and decided to transplant them. When digging them up, I discovered hundreds of bulbs of all sizes. Looking it up, I learned that daffodils propagate in that way. By creating more bulbs from what was originally planted.

Hooray for Bitcoin helping to make the lives of moms and their kids be easier. Working night shifts, sometimes two jobs. Immigration and not being able to take money with you to the new country. Sending money back to your family. Talking about being a blue collar worker. Boo to toxic work cultures. In a corrupt system, women can be assholes too.
