they told the story about the pornstar delivery guy in swwtty (which means we also heard it on stereo so that's probaby why you feel like you heard it more than once already) except Dan said it was Tesco, not asda, so either Phil has a bad memory or it happened more than once?
THANK YOU 🤗 i'm not hallucinating!! it could have happened more than once, or they don't pay attention to where they order things. tesco, asda, lidl.. try to keep up with those.
Wow! I'm impressed. You all have gone through 1/3 of our Halloween box stock so far. Thank you so much for all your support in our small business.
Now I'm extra annoyed that our supplier fell through and we were only able to do half of what we had planned.
I have held 4 back to post at a later date because I realize that some people might be waiting to have money for them and I don't want them to miss out in case these all go in the first couple days.
:3 Was able to sit up mostly by myself, got out of bed with only a little help, and was able to take a short walk down the hallway!! I sat down all by myself too, which probably sounds pretty simple but I could Not do it at all last night, my mom had to slowly lower me while I struggled to breathe gdksgsksg
the previous two companies i worked for had "unlimited pto" and now i'm at a company with regular pto and it's so much better. my new company gives me a really generous (for america) amount of pto and that's different than deciding for yourself (and potentially having to argue for or face resentment for) that you deserve a generous amount of pto in an "unlimited pto" environment.

If you've ever wondered why people in Hawai'i hate tourists, try to wrap your mind around the fact that there are CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, tourists sipping martinis and looking at fish within swimming range of the fresh corpses of local people who couldn't escape the overnight destruction of their entire town.
Try to comprehend that there are fully functional, high capacity boats passing through the waters in front of an area full of survivors who are stranded and in need of supplies, refusing to help. They are hosting snorkeling tours.
Really think about, try your best to actually picture over two thousand people unhoused and in need of shelter, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and nothing to return to. Understand that the island, stolen land, is littered with hotels full of air conditioned of rooms with beds and showers and toilets, each fully equipped to host hundreds of families for weeks, turning these people away because they're booked up with tourists who refuse to leave.
And understand that these tourists were offered free transport to return home or be hosted on other islands. Free. Courtesy of local tax dollars. 4,000 wealthy tourists were offered free flights shelter on Oahu and begged to leave the island, BEFORE the survivors were given shelter.
And enough still insisted on remaining and carrying out their vacations that people are left without shelter and resources while they enjoy "their stay in paradise".
[Edit]: This current situation, and this type of tourist behavior is horrifying beyond words. In other circumstances, the tourism situation is much more complicated, and I need to ask that people do not add on to this post unless they are local.
If I must die, let it bring hope

170 hours later and this behemoth project is completed. After being moved to tears three times by Dr. Alareer's poem, I needed to create something. Hopefully this honours his memory.
Hoping to get some funding from local orgs to get this printed into a physical booklet for distribution.
letting celebrities think they can and should "use their platform" to speak on all current events and political issues regardless of how educated they are on them was a grave mistake
