remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

More costumed cuties!
This time we have my precious little guy Drystan in a Devil costume. He wanted to dress as an angel but Esma thought this would be funnier.

Remember when I came up with "buttons" to explain executive dysfunction just because I had an argument with my partner about getting things done?

I made an entirely new series for ADHD Awareness Month explaining motivation & ADHD. Coming next week 👀✨

Page 1

Comic showing a person with black hair and yellow antennae struggling to explain ADHD-related difficulties.
Panel 1: The character looks startled as another person enters cheerfully with a dog, saying, “Heyyy, I’m back!”
Panel 2: The person frowns, “You said you would clean up!” The character replies, “I wanted to eat breakfast first…”
Panel 3: The character adds, “But I couldn’t decide on what to eat, so I didn’t.” The other responds, “Well, now you know better. Next time just eat something.”
Panel 4: The character, frustrated, says, “Don’t say it like that! I already knew that!” The other person asks, “Then why can you do it NOW?”

Comic continuing the ADHD explanation using a stove metaphor.
Panel 1: A stove without buttons is shown. Text: “Because my brain is like a stove without any buttons. I know I have to cook, but how do I turn it on?”
Panel 2: The stove stays cold. Text: “Knowing the consequences doesn’t turn on the stove.”
Panel 3: Someone stands nearby; the stove lights up. Text: “When you’re next to me, it’s like you spawn a button for me. You are an outside source of buttons.”
Panel 4: The stove smokes slightly. The other person asks, “What can you do to get a button yourself?” The character replies, “Uhh… I’m not sure… Medication helps a bit.”

Comic concluding the “buttons and stove” metaphor for ADHD motivation.
Panel 1: The character explains, “ADHD is a disorder, it means serious impairment. You can do chores because you have to, right?” The other replies, “Well yeah, I have to.”
Panel 2: The character points to a vacuum cleaner. “That’s because you get buttons for all kinds of things.” The other says, “Look at all those buttons!”
Panel 3: The character shouts at papers, “I did so many pomodoros! WHY WON’T YOU TURN ON?!” Text: “I don’t get buttons for mundane tasks—it’s neurological, not motivational. You can’t just ‘motivate’ a stove to turn on.”
Panel 4: Surrounded by drawings, the character smiles. “I only get buttons for interesting tasks.” The other person says, amazed, “So many buttons!”

After six months of dealing with the world minus therapy, it'll be a relief to have that again

Please keep going, bro. Take breaks if you need them. Take care of yourself. Shut things down for a bit. Surround yourself with your favourite things. Just keep going. I get it's easier said than done. I've been through this. It's crushing sometimes. Please don't give up. Don't let anyone else win.

Reposting with alt text since this is going around again!

Two panel comic in black and white. In the first panel, a bunny sits in the grass, surrounded by sparkles and flowers, on a white background. The second panel zooms in on the bunny's face and the background is black, with white text handwritten in all caps on it: "TOUCHING GRASS ISN'T ENOUGH, I NEED MONEY"

Signature: SLEEPIMALI (and the year the comic was made, 2023)

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.

Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

"ending remote work" is such a terrible, hostile, anti-worker thing that so many organizations have decided they need to do in order to subjugate their workforce further, and I pray it marks the beginning of a new and robust labor movement. senseless cruelty

Don't suppose it's one of those deliveries that you could go onto the tracking page and specify how/when you want it delivered?

Oh it was very fast, probably less than ten minutes. The $30 fee that they were supposedly charging for that seems to have vanished, all I had to do was sign into my account and it was done
