Sigh. It's even worse than the headlines. The victim remembers one of the encounters, which included vocal non-consent, injuries, and leaving a hotel wrapped in a blanket.

It also sounds like he's constantly getting drunk and sending dick pics, which might be why his staff jumped ship so quickly.

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

The first 48 hours of new bottle babies is always a little wild. They’re usually scared and confused, and you’re trying to deal with that and get them stable.

Then critical gear went kaput, and I had to roll to backup gear.

All while juggling 4 tinies who are drastically underweight. 1/

(And yeah, the specific fire in question is at a workplace. But emergencies in occupied workplaces are also more likely to kill disabled people, whose evacuation is not always planned for. And fire spreads. That's why pretty much every society frowns on setting stuff on fire.)

CEOs will be able to find somewhere else to live with minimal inconvenience. Middle class families may have their finances ruined, but will probably survive.

Someone who's been scraping by because their landlord hasn't bothered to raise the rent on their room in years is going to end up homeless.

If you look at deaths from wildfires, the non-firefighters who end up getting killed are typically disabled elderly people and unhoused people who are sleeping rough rather than in cars.

If you look at who's most economically impacted, it's people who can't afford market rate replacement housing.

Just going to say again that while I'm not recommending any specific crimes as being ethical means of resistance, I'm comfortable singling arson out as a particularly unethical one.

It merely inconveniences the powers that be, and it generally kills the most vulnerable members of society.

America likes to talk a big game about entrepreneurship and small businesses, but our current healthcare system is probably the biggest obstacle to people truly going on their own (ACA exchanges helped, but also are now super expensive) who aren't willing to gamble on no health insurance

One of my former students took her final project for my field natural history class and turned it into her Honors thesis: a 100% original, hand-drawn field guide to the rocky intertidal! And she got copies printed for her defense!

That fire was local to me.

You all know what I think about fire as a weapon.

I agree with, and sympathize with, 'all you had to do was pay us a living wage'. I sympathize with people reaching a breaking point. I'm glad no one was hurt.

But it's AMAZING no one was hurt, that it didn't spread.

I skipped the 4am feed with kittens, and milk wise they did fantastically. Poop-wise? Everyone got a bath this morning.

Which means I have a lap full of damp and angry babies. They wouldn't stay on their heat pad, so snuggles with me it was.

Mantasy is when in the happy ever after epilogue, the FMC has a problem that can be solved by a cable, screw, or similar that has been in the MMC's junk drawer for 5+ years.

(Odd shaped piece of wood also acceptable but that's more for the love over 50/silver romance crowd.)

This is like when they first came to Denver and didn't consider Aurora because the city of Aurora did not pay them.

"How can management just unilaterally release an AI policy?" he asks. "Also, please rub my belly."
