Well, ran out to get lunch, my car’s service lights came on, I limped it to the dealership, they can’t look at it until tomorrow, and they have no loaners available, and I leave on Thursday to go back to WI for my sister’s wedding, if you’d like to know how 5782’s going so far.
I pay for so many different warranties/services/insurances/whatever that are supposed to provide loaners. How am I stranded here.

This is what I get for ever leaving my house.
Welp I called the salesman I bought it from directly and was tearful and he’s supposedly coming to the Starbucks I wandered to to pick me up and put me in a car.

Which is good because I wore flip-flops to go grab lunch and I did not want to walk 2 miles to Enterprise.
Heh so all this trouble was apparently caused by some little switch dying. I have to cover the cost of the part (which is about $50) but they’re covering labor and since they didn’t have a loaner they just gave me one of the used cars off the lot.

Could have been a lot worse.

Welp, Paizo just fired their two most senior customer service people (one a woman, one a POC) for apparently being too willing to push back on abusive management.

Of course, this also means that the last person they might retaliate against for me airing dirty laundry is gone.
Featuring such hits as The White Woman Fighting Diversity Efforts But Claiming Credit When POC Manage To Do Them Anyway, The Time Paizo Was In Debt To The Mob, The Executive Who Sexually Harassed A Senior Woman Out Of The Company, and more.
Also, attempts to force workers to return to the office before it’s safe, managers lying about what their reports told them to pretend there’s support for it, demoting women for being too troublesome, the plan to “milk” demonizing mental illness until they couldn’t anymore, etc.

Please hire my incredibly compassionate, skilled friend.
Like, Paizo just pawned off community management on him for years, which he did gracefully and skillfully. Management complained that his management style was too kind to the workers, despite not giving him a title, raise, or management authority, which ought to tell you how much
His coworkers looked to him as a leader. He wrote and developed incredible content.

Yeah, the idea that if a teen gets a crush on someone older, that someone older must be “grooming” them is basically the same as blaming women for men being attracted to them.

Someone can have a crush on you without you even knowing they exist. You’re not to blame.
Teenagers get crushes.

It’s like one of the standard elements of being a teenager.

Sometimes those crushes are on people who are older.

Assuming the older person doesn’t actually DO anything, they’re not at fault for what a teenager’s hormones make the teen feel.
It reminds me of when a guy I was dating was like “how can you not have dated anyone before me? You’re beautiful.”

And I could not get him to understand that your level of desirability to others is not related to your level of desire *for* others.

It's amazing to me that people are arguing that a person shouldn't be able to get an abortion in cases where carrying the pregnancy to term might kill them because they think the fetus has personhood.

Like, you don't get to commandeer my lung to save your own life.
(And yes, I actually think abortion should be legal and easily available for anyone who wants one, regardless of whether their life is at stake. But I'm astonished that this argument is being made for cases where the mother's life IS at stake.)
Like, at BEST, they frame this argument as "we don't get to choose to value one life over the other." (I'd argue that they are, by default, valuing the fetus over the mother, but, again, at BEST.)

Thread from last year on being angry with God during the HHD--there is space for that, too.

(I love this prayer, which blossoms like a flame being lit from changing one Hebrew letter from a song of praise.

We give You leave to slack off. WE will fix things, then.)
Toward the end of the Yom Kippur service, there's the following reading:

You are our Beacon;
we are Your burden.
You are our Enigma;
we are Your frustration.
You are our Call to Conscience;
we are Your critics.
You are our Touchstone;
we are Your loyal opposition.
And I appreciate how the liturgy gives space to anger at God, and when it moves us on, it's not to "you're wrong to be angry, and actually God is right."

It's to having compassion *for God*, which sometimes feels like a radical concept.

Good morning, people who aren't Jewish! Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, starts this evening. Antisemites/messianic "Jews"/etc. tend to ramp up their harassment of Jews on our major holidays, so please, if you have bandwidth, be on the lookout to report. Thanks! Image
Also reminder: if you're thinking of how to do some sort of Christian Rosh Hashanah thing: don't.

Not only is it appropriative and gross, it's also theologically unsound! Your religion has a whole different system (Jesus) for dealing with repentance/renewal.
Like maybe you're wondering, if you're Christian, hey, we've got Easter in place of Passover, we've got Pentecost in place of Shavuot, we have the whole Christmas season in place of Hanukkah, why don't we have anything for the Jewish High Holidays?
