When I still worked a regular job, bosses always thought it was weird I'd take a couple days off if I got sick. I never understood that.
Either I sleep for two days and recover, or I'm subpar for a couple weeks with the added bonus of getting the entire office sick.
When I was a kid in the 1970s we had this thing called convalescence.
When people got a flu like virus they rested until they recovered & recovery was expected to take several weeks.
There was no pressure to rush back to the office or the gym. People were allowed to be sick. End.
Blake Lively's sexual harassment and retaliation complaint against Justin Baldoni is very well-evidenced for a pre-discovery complaint.
She quotes many juicy and damning text messages among Baldoni's publicity team.
How did she get those texts? It's a good tale, I think. 🧵
So Elon’s position is to deport migrants who do the jobs Americans don’t want to do while dramatically increasing the number of migrants to take the jobs that Americans really want?
@LittleMissLizz For me it's more the people I know posting their holiday messages along with "In this house we keep the Christ in Christmas." I wish everyone would just celebrate how they celebrate without needing to be a dick about it.
All 51 men have been convicted of raping Gisele Pelicot
She heroically fought for this while her husband & each of these rapists felt sorry for themselves

Today is Gisele’s day
I know for a fact that victims of Trump nominees have been willing for some time to speak to senators, in their offices, using their faces and their names. They’re not “anonymous”; they’re real. They’re normal people who don’t want their lives ruined by MAGA’s flying monkeys.
A few important things about the Texas lawsuit against a New York abortion provider:
1) Ken Paxton appears to be lying about the patient suffering "serious complications" that "required medical intervention."
2) We need to talk about how Paxton found out about this abortion
@ArmandDoma Their generation and a lot of millennials used these services constantly. They think it's normal to have rides and food delivery at a stupid cheap price that can ALSO pay their workers a living wage and they haven't figured out why it changed. Of course they focus on it.
@ArmandDoma They grew up during the gig economy boom when everyone from Uber to Doordash was running at a loss to get everyone hooked on the services. They were incredibly cheap to use and the drivers made great money. Once they because ubiquitous, that switched.
There are not many places on earth where we have detailed cause-of-death data from before the era of widespread vaccination.
Massachusetts is one of those places.
From 1842-1877, 70% of all deaths were from diseases which we today have vaccines to prevent.
