THIS IS YOUR SPORADIC REMINDER TO GO READ "TIME AND A HALF" BECAUSE IT'S BASICALLY CANON AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL

[originalleftist]

If you're an American voter asking "What has Biden done for me?"

Well, if you make between $35,568 (the current threshold) and $58,656 a year, he just guaranteed that you will receive time and a half overtime pay.

The article notes that the Obama administration attempted a similar reform in 2016, but it was challenged in court and, before the case could be resolved, the Trump administration came in and decided not to defend the proposed changes.

What was the process of coming up with the title for Time and a Half? How did you decide on that title? (guy who just finished Time and a Half and doesn't know what to do with themself <3)

So basically, I had written most of the story, and I was all excited to post the first chapter - and then I realized the story was saved as "girl help I'm mentally illness" in my drafts and that's probably not the best title for this story. Coming up with the title involved a lot of "Standing Still In the Shower" and "Contemplating Life" and "Realizing You've Been Standing Still in the Shower For Two Hours Thinking About What To Title Your Mysterious Benedict Society Fanfiction."

My starting point was the running bit about Milligan being exhausted/overworked/can't catch a break. "Time and a Half" in its simplest form refers to getting paid "time and a half" / 1.5 times your wage when you work overtime, which is common in my country. But, it also was vague enough to be about Milligan not having enough time with his family, then getting a sort of new start after retiring so he can spend more time with Kate. Most importantly, it allowed me to make a bunch of puns related to time lol

Good morning Mr. Jigsaw I noticed that this trap has a time limit of 60 minutes but as per my accommodations through the school Center of Disability Resources I get time and a half on exams and quizzes is that still something I can apply to this game right now? Thank you for understanding have a nice day

For those wondering - Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 #338 (Hobgoblin sprays Spider-man with poison) and #339 (Doc Ock reveals the poison only becomes lethal when combined with cocaine).

I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.

Click the author's name, and explore before you ask.

Theres moreeee, this is so so good.. it makes me emotional realizing that these kids are on the path to being fluent cherokee speakers and will be able to keep the language going.

This family is a part of the little cherokee seeds program, creating new first language Cherokee speakers by paying mothers to just bring their babies and craft and cook and speak cherokee with cherokee elders all day. There are only 1500 first language Cherokee speakers, most of them over 65. They also take donations if you want to help keep them going and doing the extremely important work they do!!

I Finished "Time and a Half" This Morning And I Do Not Know What To Do With Myself

[starii-void]

going to chb must be crazy like imagine sharing a camp with

-one of the strongest demigods ever who's saved the world like at least 3 times, fought multiple gods & titans and WON (and is a tartarus survivor)

-the literal main architect of OLYMPUS who's also saved the world multiple times (also tartarus survivor)

-THE lord of the wild who's also close friends with the first two (and has helped save the world multiple times)

-an emo kid from the 1930s who again helped save the world and is also a tartarus survivor (TWICE)

-a son of apollo who survived tartarus with nothing but cargo shorts and sheer will (pun intended)

-the main designer and builder for the argo II, also the first hephaestus kid to have fire powers since hundreds of years ago (did i mention killed gaea? no? yeah he did that too)

-a girl who somehow charmspeak-ed gaea into falling back asleep (also side note daughter of super famous actor because why not)

-pretty much everybody is a two-time war veteran

-THE GOD APOLLO who just sometimes comes down to visit in the form of a teenage boy

-did i mention dionysus, god of wine madness and theatre

-also chiron, trainer of pretty much every greek hero ever

It cracks me up whenever I see you in the comments of a mbs fanfic and you mention Milligan's speeding tickets because it's basically canon now thanks to your fic. You brought this upon us all and now you have to live with the weight of your genius

asdghff yeah that cracked me up when I saw it in @mysteriouseggsbenedict's fic (everyone go read it please it's so good!!)

Anyways this is my formal apology. Milligan my beloved, I am so sorry for deciding the cliff jumping wasn't enough misery for you and making you deal with the Registry of Motor Vehicles as well

Quilt update. This is split somewhere in the blues and I have to sew that together and then I have to add one more yellow row to the top. Then the quilt top is finally, finally done.

Holy shit, Shapiro had his ass handed to him. This is so satisfying to watch.
