Mother and daughters and daughters and mothers.
My maternal grandmother’s birthday is today.
I have many feelings about her. Too many, probably to share
So I’m watching the Mariska Hargitay documentary about her mom. In an odd way it seems fitting. Sort of.

He has no right to touch any of it, but could cause MAJOR havoc if he could control it.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.
