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.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Comfort Reads, hosted by @loyaltybooks.bsky.social was wonderful. And it was a lot of fun for me, personally, to hear @marthawells.com address an element of her writing (throwing hard problems at highly competent characters) that I referenced last month on my blog. michelestuart.me/2024/12/03/r...

There's a misconception (or maybe disinformation) that H1B visa workers will "work for cheap" and thus drive wages down. H1B visa workers must be paid a wage based on DOL categories or the prevailing market rate for their position, whichever is higher.

Did you know that the human half of a half-elf is always a white person? Microsoft's AI image generator taught me this.
