Or they think being happy about finding someone who treats you with respect and care after years of shitty people is a message that being a career woman isn’t fulfilling without a man. No sometimes your partner is just super cool and makes your days better in ways you could t have anticipated.

(It’s okay to get married and to have that be an important and meaningful and maybe even the most important thing that happened to you. Anyone who disagrees likely hasn’t met the love of their life. My partner makes everything better. He’s so much fun!!)

Trad wife life is wayyyy over there and this is a narrative where the powerful woman is adored by her partner. And she’s also allowed to be soft.

Whatever you think about Swift — her personal life is not a rightward shift. Lol.

Sometimes the discourse tries to hard to discourse in a direction that makes no sense.

This relationship is propaganda for men being more supportive and less fragile around their partners career success. It’s also golden retriever propaganda.

I love how people are claiming Swift getting married is a conservative shift… when she’s marrying a sports star who spent their relationship modeling a masculinity that isn’t fragile in the face of women wildly more successful than they are.

This is not trad wife propaganda

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

Screenshot of message from UPS:

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses?
Dr. Jen: Same reason there are suddenly more stars after we built telescopes.

UVA Faculty Senate passed a resolution strongly opposing the Trump “Compact.” We, at least, remain committed to the historic values and mission of the university.

Resolution Opposing the "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education"
WHEREAS the United States Secretary of Education has requested that the University of Virginia enter into a “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education”, and
WHEREAS the Compact contains provisions antithetical to the mission and traditions of the University, and
WHEREAS the Compact contains provisions which endanger the independence and integrity of the University, and
WHEREAS the compact likely violates state and federal law, and infringes upon the constitutional rights of members of the University community, and
WHEREAS the University of Virginia exemplifies American academic values of the highest standard, including universal right to free speech and the cultivation of academic freedom; therefore
BE IT RESOLVED that the Faculty Senate of the University of Virginia firmly opposes this Compact as written and calls upon Interim President Mahoney and the Board of Visitors to also reject this Compact outright as well as any similar proposal compromising the mission, values, and independence of the University.

My accountant says CRA just sucks and they triple checked that the money was there and there wouldn’t be late fees before submitting. So the only answer is the CRA is incompetent.

In so many words. lol.

A. H. @ahreaume.bsky.social · 7d

The CRA charged me $3,000 for failing to file my return claiming this is a percentage of the outstanding tax I owed and didn’t remit in time. However they had double the amount of tax that I owed in my accounts from the year before that I’d left there to cover the next year’s tax.

Yes but he’s an expert on critical reasoning. Which is like would be helpful in eliminating wrong ways to put furniture together because they don’t work. Lol.
