if you think that ao3 needs a dislike button, block me. we have nothing to say to one another. I'm honestly done being nice about this. there is no algorithm to teach. it's an archive. wanting a dislike button is just a request for the ability to be hateful with no consequences
no way people are asking for a dislike button on ao3 bestie that’s the back button your browser

in 1st century Judea, the corners of every field had to be left for the poor to pick crops for themselves, every seventh year *all* of the crops from fields and vineyards and orchards belonged to the poor, and all debts of all types were cancelled every 50th year.

Is NHSE forcing young people to detransition?
The minutes of a meeting, leaked to NWBylines, strongly indicate NHSE does not want the prescribing of puberty blockers at WellBN to continue

Three weeks ago I marked nine years on Testosterone.
I didn't celebrate it then because I was in the middle of a multi-month battle to be allowed to stay on it, despite not producing my own hormones and simply wanting to remain on the exact prescription I'd had for nine years without any problems.

Thinking a lot about “cancel culture” & how we need more precise language to describe what happens to influencers (short-term, usually goes away) vs, like, trans women kicked out of housing / jobs / support systems
Thinking how Natalie Wynn makes WAY more now than she did in 2020, for example

It is Thanksgiving Day, make certain your call center workers can get pizza and ice cream
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

I think a lot of people don’t understand how efficient and intricate the MC / Visa call operations are and how a limited but dedicated number of people can completely derail things
If this keeps happening, managers notice, managers of managers notice.
Satisfaction numbers for the service as a whole go down. If it keeps going long enough, they risk damage to the brand.
"You can't get through to VISA if something is wrong" is not a reputation they want.

While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.
