Our Junior Office Manager Jack Eliot reminded staff today that it’s okay to be nervous as you step into the unknown since being committed to showing up for yourself is the real achievement.

It’s Midweek at the Office!
Sr. Office Manager Max reminds everyone that playing isn’t just for children, and that we should reward ourselves with a treat or a prize once we’ve accomplished what seemed like an impossibly hard task.
Maybe he’s on to something…

Sr. Office Manager Max wants to gently remind you that coffee is not a meal, and it’s normal to need rest.
Take it from him, he sleeps 16 hours a day and yells to make sure all know when it’s meal time.
Please don’t disappoint Sr. Office Manager Max

If you're on the fence and want someone to peek at a pitch, or have any questions about the press, let me know! I'm not sure I'm going to pitch to this one but I would love to help get some new folks into the press <3 If nothing else, pitching helps you get an idea together that you can write later!

I was suddenly laid off from my job of a decade on New Year’s Day. I sacrificed countless hours responding to emergencies, and leaving family and friends to help people on their worst days. Now we begin to pick up the pieces, and figure out what to do.

One last fucked up 2025 scoop—FEMA has begun issuing termination notices to CORE staff (appointed under the Stafford Act, ordinarily extended for 2 years) effective Jan 2, agency sources tell me. Sr leadership was asked if they could be given more notice but Acting Administrator Karen Evans said no.

We made a lot of pullbags, so I took a break for my first simple drape and pin. The insides aren’t too pretty but folded and hand stitched the sides before going in to finish it with the machine. All that is left is to hem and add straps if I’m going too.

“Researchers studying huge vertebrae discovered on a beach near the city of Darwin say the creature is now the earliest known mega-predator of the modern shark lineage, living 15 million years earlier than enormous sharks found before.”

Before megalodon, researchers say a monstrous shark ruled ancient Australian seas
Researchers have dated vertebrae from a massive prehistoric shark thought to have ruled the waves off northern Australia back to further in the Cretaceous period than was previously known.

This is your reminder to drink water, and then water your plants, do pruning, and check any hydroponic roots for rot or trimming.

Reminder: Small business Saturday (and all year long) is a good time to patron your local craft and fabric stores to stock up for those seasonal projects!
The dark times of winter are upon us, so it’s time to fixate on homemade apparel and giftees!
