Biden admin braces for possible Trump win, installs 'roadblocks' to stop him from reshaping government: Report

"The AP reported the "Office of Personnel Management, the federal government’s chief human resources agency, will finalize a rule by April against reclassifying tens of thousands of workers so they can be more easily fired, according to OPM spokesperson Viet Tran."" This is how you know that your job is meaningless, if you need a rule just to stay there. Imagine if businesses did this with a glut of unneeded personnel.

One thing I’ve noticed about people in or entering their 30s is they don’t make as many compromises anymore. If someone doesn’t meet them halfway, is not up to standard, is just not where they’re needed to be, they’re just like “ok cool” and they move on from the person. Which is not to say they’re less empathetic or understanding, but more that they have learned that time is their most prized possession and they’re not willing to make massive compromises on it. They are not obsessed w the idea of fixing someone (bc the concept of fixing a person doesn’t really exist). They simply move on to someone who is up to par. I want that. I want to always move w the awareness that time is my most priceless belonging and I can never buy it back. Ever. So I have to use it wisely

#not just when it comes to ppl but w opportunities too! #w not wasting your energy on negativity #w always seeing the big picture etc etc #i just want to always move from a place of ‘is this expending time that could be best spent elsewhere?’ #just a note 2 self while I navigate how to spend my time #which includes dedicated studying & reading more consistently & moving my body & enjoying nature & telling someone I love them <3 #we will be alright #text

No More Wasteful Spending

No More Wasteful Spending #Purpose #Usefulness #Time #Focus

Image Credit: One zone Studio At this moment, we have the opportunity to… We often think about acquiring lots of things instead of fulfilling essential needs. We tend to focus on our wants, not giving much thought to the needs of others suffering by the wayside. We sometimes boast about self-reliance instead of a collaborative effort to improve the quality of life that others may benefit from.…

No. The DoD got a crap ton of $$$ in 2020. But, they stole even more, and they burned through that.

Let's see an ITEMIZED account of where that money went, and let's see them scrimp and save like, say, Interior has to.

DID YOU GET BATDAD!

not yet, it's just been Oops! All Riddles! over here. 😭 I've hit the point now where I have to decide if I want to keep trying, or if I want to save my remaining keys for future cards. like, on the one hand, I'm not really in the market for another defense SSR right now -- especially a fire-typed one, and especially when I have to be realistic about my chances of getting that third-element attack, you know? but on the other hand, his battle sprite looks like this:

he SURFS AROUND with STITCH how am I supposed to say no to that

on the third hand, I just know that if I blow all my keys on this event, they're going to drop another main story card of, like, Silver going super saiyan or something and I'm going to kick myself so hard I go into orbit.

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #lost in the book with stitch #the woes of f2p #i am very very strict about not letting myself spend money on gacha #(i waste my money on merch instead) #but i can still look at the menu as it were #and the menu for this event is SO cute #i am not upset about getting a bazillion riddles i am happy to watch them hang ten and kick out and...nope i'm out of surfing terms #but i would like a surfing lilia too :(

Hey, if you have speech impediments, you are so amazing.

If you stutter or have a lisp or misspeak easily or you have a flat affect or a limited verbal vocabulary or if your voice is AAC or if you just have a difference in your vocality, you are so incredibly important and amazing.

Just know that your voice is yours. Nobody will ever be able to truly take it away. Your voice is part of you, and you deserve to make it as true to you as you deem fit. I hope you have the space to grow with your voice and whatever about it makes it unique.

#positivity #disability positivity #partially because so much of voical differences arise from disability #i've developed a really annoying lisp-ish issue #and it's hard to be positive about it because it makes me feel like i'll be treated as lesser because it's a 'childish' affect #but i literally can't help it unless i spend 110% of my focus on it. and i don't have that amount of energy #but it makes me think about others and especially those who have it more intensely than i do #and i just want to uplift everybody because vocal differences are neutral at worst #man my dad always tells a story about this coworker he had who had a stutter like you wouldn't believe... #...and he was fucking BRUTALIZED for it... 'c-c-c-c-CAN YOU GET TO THE POINT?!' is how people would talk to him... #...and obviously that made his stutter twice as fucking worse and i can't imagine the shame and humiliation that followed... #...i hope he learned that those assholes were a fucking waste of time and that he doesn't have to deal with that... #...like i'm sorry but there is no fucking need to be that sadistic toward somebody who is obviously already anxious and worried

The tough thing about boundaries is that it’s not enough to state them, you have to enforce them.

I think some folks see “setting boundaries” as a kind of magic talisman to influence other people’s behavior. “I’ll tell you what I need or can’t accept, and you will act accordingly.” And sometimes that’s what happens, and that’s great! But if the other person disregards your stated boundaries, it doesn’t mean setting boundaries didn’t work.

Because boundaries aren’t about others’ behavior, they’re about your own. If the other person’s behavior doesn’t change, then yours has to. “Please don’t discuss [x topic] with me” is a request. “If you continue to talk about [x topic] then I will end this conversation/hang up/leave” is a boundary, which you must then enact. The point is less about stopping the other person (although that’s ideal) and more about protecting yourself. And you have to be committed to protecting yourself, because no one else will be.

You have to be so committed that you’re willing to tolerate other people being hurt or angry or uncomfortable. You have to accept that some relationships might change. You have to hold onto the idea that it’s all right for them to change, because the way they were before was hurting you, and you deserve to not be hurt. You gave them a choice: maintain a relationship or keep doing the thing that hurts you, and they chose to keep hurting you, so if the situation is now awkward or unpleasant that was because of their choice. Enforcing boundaries means deciding that if someone is going to feel bad here, it need not be always and only you.

There is no magic formula that will make other people treat you kindly and respectfully. But you can learn to treat yourself with kindness and respect. That’s what enforcing a boundary is.

#boundaries #assertiveness #the real self care was the friends we dropped along the way #life is too short to spend with people who make you feel bad #you won't find the people who respect your boundaries #until you stop wasting energy on the people who don't #you can survive people being mad at you #i promise

have vasco & machete ever gotten into any big arguments?

.

#I think if you get close to someone you're bound to get into arguments eventually it's only natural #Vasco and Machete don't argue a lot neither of them enjoy and seek out conflict #Vasco is very patient and hard to rile up #and Machete bottles up his emotions and mostly just seethes quietly #in the original canon the time they get to spend together is always limited and they don't want to waste it being angry at each other #they probably bicker and disagree a little bit more casually in the modern au but it's purely because they feel more safe to do so #there's a lot less at stake and their situation is stabler #and for the most part they can handle any arguments in a reasonably healthy and mature way #answered #anonymous #both of them are quick to apologise and that helps a lot #the will to sort things out always prevails usually sooner than later
