.
Yeah, so... I made ANOTHER Starter Pack.

As always - if i put you in this thing & you don't want to be in it, just say so & I'll remove you.

If I DIDN'T, & you DO want to be in it, just say so & I'll put you in it.

Unless you're a dick. 😈

So apparently this is climbing the charts…

It has an INCREDIBLY 80s sound. Like, St. Elmo’s Fire/John Hughes/every “inspiring but fun” 80s movie you can think of.

(Maybe a little Flashdance…)

I was wondering if maybe only people who follow her can comment.

There's ALT Text. Just a LITTLE editorial commentary. Not much.

Orpheus Condescending @maryscottoconnor.com · 4h

TWO lawsuits have already been filed, one of which requests a stay in the layoffs while the suits go forward.

Which I think the poster must KNOW.

So maybe THAT's why no more comments or quoteposts?

That's bogus, dude.  

Anyway. 

Here's the BBC's take on it:

www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump administration issues layoff notices to more than 4,000 workers during government shutdown

More than 4,000 workers across seven agencies will receive notices that their jobs are being cut, the government disclosed in a court filing.

The comments AND the quoteposts are disabled on this post, which I REALLY don't understand.

If I COULD have commented, I merely would've said these shitheels are delaying the inevitable - lawsuits getting these people back their jobs, since laying them off (or firing them) is blatantly illegal.

A post from Michele/MeidasFan, the text in its entirety: "JFC. The Associated Press CONFIRMED the White House has begun firing federal workers as part of an official "Reduction-in-Force" plan, a move led by Trump ally Russ Vought to pressure Democrats amid the shutdown standoff. They're punishing the American people while democrats are trying to give them healthcare.
THEY ARE TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!
SMASH THE O IF YOU THINK THIS IS
TOTAL F*CKING BULLSH*T!"

So... yeah. I have thoughts about all this, but I'll just leave it at this. ALL these layoffs are illegal. "By law, the federal government must give its workers at least 30-days notice that it is laying them off... Two major unions, the American Federation of Government Employees and AFL-CIO, had filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of Vought's announced plans to carry out layoffs during the shutdown. On Friday, once he said the process had begun, they asked a federal court in Northern California to temporarily block the move. "It is disgraceful that the Trump administration has used the government shutdown as an excuse to illegally fire thousands of workers who provide critical services to communities across the country," AFGE president Everett Kelley said." - BBC.com

Listen, when it comes to this "living life" thing, we all know that we're basically doing our best. And that is really pretty fucking pitiful, to be honest.

Dear god, I just said the same thing twice.

Seriously, just pack me in a drawer somewhere.

Orpheus Condescending @maryscottoconnor.com · 4h

Yeah, never mind. I thought you were saying it DIDN'T work.

Or WASN'T based on facts.

Oh, never mind.

I brought the wrong brain today.

HAVE FUN WITH IT.

I do. 😈

Even when I’m rambling like a lunatic.

Not much rambling today. No lunacy.

NOTE: The PRIMARY purpose of ALT Text is so sight-impaired people (& others) may be included, so they can “see” the images through our descriptions.

Once we take care of that - the rest of the characters are ours to do with what we wish.

How to POST ALT Text:

Upload your image, then CLICK it - a space appears and you type your text there.

Simple.

Set it up as a default in your Settings, that way you never have to think about it:

settings > accessibility > require alt-text for images.

Orpheus Condescending @maryscottoconnor.com · 5h

ALT Text: CLICK THE IMAGE.

There’s text beneath it.

(In my case, LOTS of text.)

CLICK THE TEXT - the entire text appears.

That’s how this works.

GIRLFRIEND? You caught the... GIRLFRIEND?

Titled "I'M Antifa!" - Kirk Douglas as Spartacus, the general of an army of slaves in Stanley Kubrick's film of Dalton Trumbo's script of the same name. In a climactic scene, when the Romans offer them mercy if Spartacus gives himself up, he is about to, when his best friend stands and says, "I'M Spartacus!" HE is followed immediately by someone else who says, "I'M Spartacus," and then another one, and then another and another, till each man in the huge army is standing and shouting that he i Spartacus. It's a beautiful, noble gesture. (Let's just not talk about the fa t that it's futile and fatal - that they are all crucified along the Appian Way, and that Spartacus dies with them, obscure and unknown, thrown into a pit of lime with the rest of the bodies... BUT HIS LEGEND LIVES ON! Sigh... The arc of justice blah blah blah. Whatever. Win or lose, I'd rather be on that side than a fucking evil motherfucking fascist scumbag.

Hey, ignore those notifications - I tried following you back and it kept unfollowing.

What DOESN'T track is that -3] that Vegas is giving the Chiefs.

The DISRESPECT.

WTF.

I hope the Lions absolutely DESTROY them.

Orpheus Condescending @maryscottoconnor.com · 5h

And the Eagles suddenly don't look like the juggernaut everyone assumed they would be.

The Chiefs game will be a big determining factor in how the rest of the league really sees the Lions.

They SAY the Lions are #1-#2 in the Power Rankings...

But they're really waiting till Monday.

It tracks.

The Lions will win the North.

Orpheus Condescending @maryscottoconnor.com · 6h

Good luck!

Sorry - I hope I'm not pedantsplaining.

It seemed as if you were saying this WASN'T based on facts...

It is. She presented the indictment for Comey with "principle" spelled "principal."

Then she filed the indictment of Letitia James with her residence listed as being in Brooklyn NJ instead of NY.

She's established a bizarre pattern of presenting sloppy work.

That's the basis of the satire.

I sincerely hope that this depression I'm feeling over the #Tigers is the last time I feel depressed over a #Detroit sports team for AT LEAST A YEAR.

#MLBPlayoffs

On the other hand, if sadness over a SPORTING event if the worst I feel in the next 3 years...

BRING IT ON.

(Not really. Go DETROIT.)

Also, and not for nothing, but I wonder why Trump HANDPICKED her.

a woman with black hair and bangs is sitting at a table and making a funny face .

Alt: Krysten Ritter rolls her eyes so hard they feel it on the Richter scale in Japan.
