Federal workers - don't fall for it! They want you out so they can fill the agencies with loyalists who will break the law, weaponize the powers of those agencies against the people and dismantle democracy, They tried firing you and the courts stopped a lot of their efforts so now they're trying to trick you out. Remember your oaths. Stay in your job.

Hold the line! Don't resign!

Thank you for your service.

Also leaving gov to enter an economy and jobs market thats abt to be at a 70 year low is NOT a smart idea. Make them fire us and at least retain severance benefits

Also just removing OPM from the equation doesn’t suddenly make this legal. It likely violates the Administrative Procedure Act because none of these agencies have gone through rulemaking to implement these resignation programs in violation of the statutory requirements to do so.

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

I like my protagonists sad, tired, bitter, fully convinced they will never get the recognition they deserve, but they still gotta get up in the morning and be a good person

there’s something soft and squishy hiding in there

AO3, twitter, bsky

Hey, do any of you have recommendations for what I could draw? Because honestly, at this rate, it’s going to be a new fandom every other day

On a second note, I love these two so much

if no one got me, I know imagining my two fave characters fuck nasty will always have my back 😩

As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can't argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.

In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.

Leyendecker's Honeymoon: Hansry edition.

had contractors come by and forgot i was wearing this shirt

I love seeing list memes where someone makes a "le cool people vs le cringe" and they obviously skew it so they barely scrape by into the cool kids club

You just KNOW this dudes 5'11"

I'm 5'11, but in most casual conversations I'll say I'm 5'9. I do this purely for the chaos that it creates. Because everyone assumes that men only exaggerate their height up, it makes me look like the only person honestly describing their height and thus knocks at least 2 inches off everyone else's description. The panic that the 6'1 guys feel at the thought of being described as 5'11 is hard to understate. I have had people run back to their cars to grab tape measures. If I could get away with describing myself as 4'6 I would.

you are the diametrical opposite of the aforementioned guy. you are a demigod walking among mortals

It's so weird to me when people are like 'but that will cost the government money!' So what? They're the government, they're supposed to be spending money. What, you want them to take your tax dollars and then do nothing with it? Lock it all up in a big government vault and just look at it? Why are you so scared of giving a third grader lunch or a homeless person a house.

damn, she’s a bad bitch. oh they’re nonbinary? my bad. damn, they’re a bad person

oh shit it uses it/its? its a wretched creature

this reminds us of the bit in one of the Tales of the City books where the trans woman's transphobic ex wife calls her a bastard and she smiles and says "please - call me a bitch"

“National teacher shortage” is a fun way of saying that the USA has made a passion driven job so ungodly inhospitable that even people who “just care about teaching, not the money” don’t even care about teaching anymore.

you mean i could make less at school than at mcdonalds while working 60+ hours a werk and being expected to take a bullet any minute and contracting every disease ever and still not be able to cover my bills june-september while parents and politicians blame me for why their kids are gay
