24-290 Discipline

Discipline “the quality of diligently complying with established rules and guidelines” Having attended Catholic schools for ten years (1-10th grade), discipline tended to have a negative connotation for me. The priests and nuns could be quite tough. As intense as it was, I actually had a solid education. But I digress. These days I attribute discipline to following a daily regimen, which for…

Something you can do to help!

Got a quick, easy action item for anyone with a couple minutes to spare.

The Wildland Firefighter Paycheck Protection Act is back in the Senate. If it does not pass, federal wildland firefighters will be facing a 50% paycut here in a couple months (yeah, I said FIFTY). I don't know about you, but I don't know anyone who would keep working their job if their pay got cut by fifty-percent. And right now, that cut is poised to come right at the start of the worst of fire season. I'm sure I don't need to explain why this is NOT GREAT.

Please use this handy dandy form to contact your representatives and ask them to pass this act. Call them too, if that's a thing you've got the bandwidth for!

If you're not in the US, a simple signal boost is much appreciated!

THAT'S ENOUGH

Your hugs, those are enough, She said, her voice almost rough… With tears in his eyes He meekly complies, Sitting down watching her do stuff. – Listening to her all the time, Trying to say certain lines… Making not quite His line to light, But oh for the chance he pines! – Is it obsession or love By which his precious state knows… She speaks truth As to the route Her brighter…

Disappearing Palestine sign forbidden by Council

Yesterday I took this sign to King George Square in Brisbane and displayed it near City Hall. A woman asked if she could take a photo of it to which I replied yes. A security guard from City Hall approached me and told me that I was not permitted to display the sign or to affix it to railings or objects in the square. I was holding up one end and the other end was held up by a pole. She told me…

Is that how you ask a pretty princess to get some sleep, huh Wade?

[samualjennings]

The executive order to freeze federal aid funding was recinded after widespread interdepartmental confusion and pushback by government agencies across the country, international agencies, and citizen outrage.

"All that is required for tyranny is that good people do nothing"; but the inverse is also true. When people make enough noise, we can get Trump and would-be-Trumps to back down for fear of loss of power.

Do not comply in advance. Do not lose hope. Resist, resist, resist!

UPDATE: Please see my reblog of this post (or whatever news source you use) for more up-to-date information on the confusing nature of the freeze. Nonetheless, I believe my sentiments about resisting still apply.

Political cartoonist does her job makes cartoon about media kowtowing to dictator. Cartoon is killed by editor b/c one media figure is paper’s owner. Political cartoonist quits job on principle. This is not a case of “biting the hand that feeds you”, this is demonstrating a threat to free speech.

every time a customer tries to get me to take off my mask because they're allegedly hard of hearing and need to lip read i do dream of saying "is that true???" to them because that is MY disability that they're pretending to have to be a shithead and yet i don't want to say that because if i earnestly asked for accommodation and someone asked if i was lying i would want to sink into the floor!!! but if they are lying to me i think they should feel total devastating shame and go to hell probably.
