I only WISH I could forget Black Friday. It now starts here on Monday with “early deals”. My daughter worked at Macy’s when they had the bright idea for a few years to open on Thanksgiving for “Door Busters” so we had to do dinner before 1pm so she could go to work by 5. 😤

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

When my aunt & uncle were first dating he invited her to Thanksgiving at Great Uncle John’s house. She couldn’t show up empty handed & bought a bag of oranges. Uncle John grew oranges for Sunkist, like his father before him. 40+ years later, still a scandal. “They weren’t even Sunkist!”

I was afraid this was going to happen - homophobia with a soupçon of sexism, dragging Monica back into this

My daughter’s too. She asked yesterday if she could put it on a work expense report

out of all places in the world, you’d think Ireland would have this worked out. My apostrophe’d last name feels your pain.

Even better, our health insurance is tied to employment. Get fired without notice & your company isn’t large enough to be required to offer continued benefits? Yup, you just lost your health insurance on the same day!
