Sunday Snippets: Almost July?

I've gotten so much done in the last few weeks but can't believe it's almost July.

This. All this. Fuck that racist twat waffle.

See gifs for explanation


or






Extreme TW for an awful case of domestic violence Beyond heartbreaking and awful.

Indeed. A case of WTF? How dare you?





Late last year, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Representative Rose DeLauro of Connecticut, both Democrats, introduced the Family and Medical Insurance Leave Act, which proposed offering new parents and caretakers the ability to take 12 paid weeks off each year. Workers would contribute 0.2 percent of their wages to the Social Security Administration, which would handle paying bills. Employees could only get up to 66 percent of their monthly income, but that's a great deal more than the 0 percent workers in 47 states currently receive if they stay home with a loved one. 

Feels. All of them

Because puppies

Because goats

Because guinea pigs

Sunday Snippets: I'm waving the official white flag edition

So very very tired of snow. Yes, it's pretty. But this winter jacked up my heating bill and I'm very tired of being cold, stepping in mucky puddles of melted snow and wearing seventeen different layers of clothing to stay even remotely warm.

Shit I definitely didn't learn in college Really wish I had learned more than just the surface in my women studies classes.

Lol Really and truly have no problem if you choose to practice any religion, be it Christianity or Islam or Wiccan, etc. But be truthful and honest.

OMG PUPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I had a bigger house, I'd have a Saint Bernard. I have always loved them, the adorable big giant slobber monsters.

Monkey's face is priceless

Recess = classic kid's show

I'm such a sap for small fuzzy critters Especially ones that make cute noises like this. And these kitties.

Really interesting way of looking at purchases I could not imagine having to catalog every purchase I made and I think that would be a good way of cutting down on misc spending.

AAAAAAAAnd new favorite person Preach Jesse Williams.

Exactly! I love my job to pieces but we don't have paid family leave. We get FMLA, which is something, but dammit, if we got paid leave, I could probably be that much closer to tiny overlords. Three months of leave is nice, but my bills still need to paid during those three months.
