I wish these tv peeps would test their proposed portrayal of professional women with real professional women!

Eg1: We may not have time to dress fancy, but we’re usually flexible enough to unzip ourselves without tearing the dress.

Eg2: We don’t like to fuck in offices.

Dear America,

You say “This is not who we are as Americans”…

Unfortunately, you are what you do!

To solve a problem you have to first admit it exists…

Pretending the parts you don’t like about your country are “Un-American” helps no one.

Get rid of Trump!

Regards,

Rest of the World

I have realized that some people don’t trust me simply because I’m kind to them.

Isn’t that sad?

That nowadays we regard kindness with suspicion?

My heart hurts.

Love who?

Ahh I know, most people we meet are assess with holes. Ignore them!

Love no one. Love everyone. Love yourself! Love being alive!

Love this amazing 4.543 billion years old spaceship, that once had dinosaurs & now has us!

Just love because it feels nice to love!

Now I’ll shut up.

Happy Friyaay! Boo!

Hot Tip: Try Love instead of Hate. It’ll make you feel nice. Trust me.

Hello!

Despite the plateau in Bluesky my followers have been steadily growing.

Thank you for being interested in what I have to say.

I’m not a Somebody.

Just a girl who’s done lots, suffered lots & is determined lots.

This means I post about lots of topics & laugh at lots!

Much love.

For some reason, our beloved @abcnewsbot.bsky.social has failed to cover this important legislation!

Any idea why they might be less than enthusiastic about it?

Frankly my dear,

The Royal Family should be stripped off their titles for taking so fucking long.

Not to mention, for throwing state banquets (plural) for another paedophile from the same ring.

I no longer express outrage at Trump’s actions.

It’s not because I don’t care. It’s because my outrage is directed at him still being POTUS!

It’s because my outrage is directed at WORLD LEADERS, including my own PM @albomp.bsky.social, who chooses to ally with a fascist paedophile.

Does anyone know how much tax these CEOs paid?

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 5d

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Great that you all are celebrating Rufus Wainright…

But don’t forget it was a woman, Chantal Kreviazuk, who originally changed the lyrics back in Feb.

Only sayin cuz I’m used to men repeating women’s ideas in boardrooms & suddenly getting nods.

Perhaps Ed should launch his own party. I’m not sure The Greens will ever gain traction sadly.

greatgenes @greatgenes.bsky.social · 4d

I think they would have to for the salaried portion. But pretty sure their salaries are “grossed up” anyway so that they net get what they want.

And of course, let’s not talk about the highest income tax bracket, which has inexplicably been fixed for years!

Not complicated actually. I don’t even know why I’m scared to do it. I feel it’s just a PTSD hangover & fear of seeing a certain company name on my PAYG
