I feel like I need to do a post to say I know about the horrors, everyone knows about the horrors. I am not going to post about the horrors. I am going to try not to repost about the horrors. That doesn't mean I don't care, but that I don't believe my voice is needed for that in this moment.

I'm planning on renting my basement to a roommate and this weekend multiple family members decided to help by suggesting how to get as much money as possible, which, do these people even know me? I'm not going to charge extra for Wi-Fi! I'm not going to charge pet rent!

I made five pies and hosted Thanksgiving (didn't cook everything) and this is the state of my kitchen. I'm pretty proud of myself for just dealing with it right away

literally if the brain scans say the brain is in the same “phase” from age nine to age thirty two that is only proof that the scan information about these “phases” is absolutely useless for guiding social or legal policy

This is very like the time my dad was disappointed his great aunt Marie died before he could get her lasagna recipe but then someone served it at the family lunch after the funeral. It tasted just like hers! So he asked for the recipe and was shown a Stouffer's box

I am the only one of my generation privy to my gramma’s legendary mashed potato recipe. No one knows this. If I used my real name on Bsky I would not post this. However.

I've been off all day so I'm just checking emails and here is the Utah 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Games logo (at least until 2029 when a new one is chosen for the Games itself). #utpol #Utah

INBOX: @sltrib.com's newsroom employee union announces its first contract. #utpol #Utah
SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake Tribune’s newsroom workers unanimously ratified the Salt Lake News Guild’s inaugural labor contract Monday — a first in the 155-year history of Utah’s Pulitzer Prize-winning, flagship newspaper. The vote was open to every member of The Tribune’s bargaining unit, which also includes staff at The Tribune-owned Moab Times-Independent and The Southern Utah Tribune. By the time voting closed Sunday afternoon, 93% had participated. Each of them voted in favor of the two-year agreement, which includes provisions that guarantee increased pay and benefits and bar management from disciplining employees over content engagement metrics, like page views. “We are grateful to all employees of The Salt Lake Tribune for the dedication they bring to our journalism every day. The bargaining process was respectful and thoughtful, and now we look forward to diving in on critical work together, ahead of The Tribune removing its paywall in 2026,” Tribune management and the Guild said in a joint statement. The members of the Guild’s bargaining committee (Bethany Baker, Jeff Dempsey, Paighten Harkins, Andy Larsen and Trent Nelson) met with Tribune CEO Lauren Gustus on Monday morning at The Tribune offices to sign the contract, surrounded by Tribune staffers. Negotiations began in February. We couldn’t be more excited to have come to an agreement on a contract with Tribune management,” said Andy Larsen, a member of the Guild’s Bargaining Committee. “We believe this contract adds significantly to the long-term strength and stability of The Tribune and for the workers who make independent news in Utah possible.” “When Tribune workers voted to unionize more than a year ago, we said we wanted to ensure a supportive workplace, where talent is nurtured and cultivated and staff is paid enough so that our chief concern is how to best cover Utah — not how to afford to live here,” Bargaining Committee member Paighten Harkins said. “We rejected discipline over page views, and we wanted a seat at the board table where decisions are made. With this contract, we got all that and more.” Key contract provisions: • A standard salary floor of $60,000 for new hires of The Tribune and $54,000 for The Moab Times-Independent, as well as higher salary floors for experienced staff based on tenure at the paper; • Across the board annual cost of living raises and merit-based raises, with the opportunity for up to 5% total in annual raises if all goals are met; • Revenue share with employees if The Tribune beats annual financial targets; • Guaranteed protections against unjust discipline and severance pay in the event of layoffs; • Restrictions against disciplining or terminating employees based on page view quotas; • Increased employer contributions to employee retirement plans and more parental leave, personal days and vacation; • Guarantees that staff will be included in developing new artificial intelligence and social media policies, as well as in selecting health insurance policies; • A seat for a Guild representative to take part in Tribune Board of Directors meetings We couldn’t be more excited to have come to an agreement on a contract with Tribune management,” said Andy Larsen, a member of the Guild’s Bargaining Committee. “We believe this contract adds significantly to the long-term strength and stability of The Tribune and for the workers who make independent news in Utah possible.” “When Tribune workers voted to unionize more than a year ago, we said we wanted to ensure a supportive workplace, where talent is nurtured and cultivated and staff is paid enough so that our chief concern is how to best cover Utah — not how to afford to live here,” Bargaining Committee member Paighten Harkins said. “We rejected discipline over page views, and we wanted a seat at the board table where decisions are made.
