Don't dress slutty, but please try to be sexy.

Be on the alert for predators at all times, this is your job, because they can't just be expected control themselves, but don't be afraid of all men...somehow.

You need to be strong, but not too strong, you don't want anyone to feel emasculated.

You need to want to have children, you have a womb, you just have to use it, but please don't let the children interfere with anything else you need to do. We are already doing you a favor giving you eight weeks of unpaid leave!

Be very thin, but also eat cheeseburgers and drink beer, because we don't want to acknowledge that for most people, being very thin involves not eating enough.

Be vulnerable and emotionally available, but I swear to God, if you cry at work, or express anger about anything, you're going to make everyone uncomfortable, HR needs to talk with you.

I get that you're working full time and 3 other people live in your house, but it's you're fault it's not clean enough, and did you really get take out again?

You need to have it all, but don't expect any hand outs.

Be smart, but don't show off, EVER, be demure, let them think it was their idea.

You need to be funny, but don't try to get attention, and don't snort laugh, and not too dirty, please don't mention your period!

And ffs, would it hurt you to smile?!

"by voting for Republicans, red state denizens are making sure their Hallmark dreams will never come true. In the real world, your harried urban professional daughter will never come home to Oklahoma or Texas or Florida.. Fox News paints the blue states as crime-ridden hellholes, but college-educated people under 50, who have the privilege to choose where they live, see it very differently. The word they use for blue states is "safe."  https://www.salon.com/2023/12/11/maga-women-want-a-hallmark-home-for-the-holidays-fantasy-but-their-votes-run-their-kids-off/

Gender-affirming care is supported by every major medical organization in the United States. Children’s hospitals across Ohio, the Ohio Children’s Hospital Association and the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians all oppose HB 68. 

“The bill is so cruel on so many levels but at the end of the day this violates parents rights to make decisions about their children’s own healthcare,” said House Minority Leader Allison Russo, D-Upper Arlington

Ohio’s gerrymandered Republican supermajority decided to spend their last session before holiday break bullying a handful of high school trans athletes out of sports, robbing parents of rights to support their trans children, interfering in intimate family health care decisions, and upping suicide risk among LGBTQ+ youth. That was the year-end priority of Ohio Republican lawmakers.

J.D. Vance fails to notice the GOP’s contraception opponents
J.D. Vance claimed no serious voices in the GOP are prepared to roll back the clock on contraception access. There’s ample evidence to the contrary."last year, the House’s then-Democratic majority approved the Right to Contraception Act, intended to codify in federal law the right to birth control nationwide...195 Republicans voted against:"

James Comer’s anti-Biden theories take a literally laughable turn
It’s a tough sell when the GOP argues that failing to prosecute Hunter Biden is evidence of a cover-up, and prosecuting him is also evidence of a cover-up.

Corporate America Is Testing the Limits of Its Pricing Power
"Big companies that had previously pushed through one standard price increase per year are now raising prices more frequently. Retailers increasingly use digital price displays, which they can change with the touch of a button. Across the economy, executives trying to maximize profits are effectively running tests to see what prices consumers will bear"
Remember this when someone bitches about Biden & inflation:

Texas Supreme Court Rules Against Woman Who Sought Court-Approved Abortion
“While Kate had the ability to leave the state, most people do not, and a situation like this could be a death sentence.”
#AbortionIsHealthcare regardless of this awful ruling:

Now that we have a new speaker (God help us), back to the regularly scheduled GOP shit show:

Sadly, this is still relevant:

Jason Miller Cries That Biden's Visit to MI Will Upstage Trump
Biden will join the autoworkers' picket line on Tuesday
"Miller claimed that the only reason Biden is going is to upstage Trump. Of course, Biden has been known as "Union Joe" for decades while Trump throughout his life has been overtly hostile to unions, but facts never get in the way of Miller's fake narratives.
Cry more, Jason"

Elon Musk says Twitter, now X, is moving to small monthly subscription
Musk did not say how much a new plan would cost users of the social network, or what other features would or would not be included with payment at the lowest tier
If Elon Musk seriously thinks I am about to pay money to use a social media site that he has done everything in his power to destroy, he's got one more screw loose than I thought...

I watched a thing yesterday where the guy was saying that whenever he signs up for a new rewards card or anything the middle name he lists is the name of the business he’s giving his information to. So he’s David Wallgreens Smith when signing up for the a Wallgreens loyalty card. That way you can prove who sold or leaked your data when you start getting phone calls for David Wallgreens Smith.
Pretty smart, I never would have thought of it but I will be doing it going forward.
