Babs

We had a winter, and then a spring, and now it's winter again.

I have a lifelong phobia of baleen whales. The ones with teeth are cool though - they're just big dolphins.

I am bad at this game so I simply play at the lower difficulties where my clumsy strategies work.

I've at least settled on "no dating men who have not seriously interrogated their gender."

My partner is very certain that he is not trans, and that confidence in his masculinity is reassuring to me.

I take no issue with the contract saying that qualified internal candidates should get jobs and promotions that they apply for. I don't believe this case to be a breach of contract, but that's for the union and management to hash out among themselves and that's okay. I take a lot of issue with using that grievance to gossip about your new coworker who just wants to do the job she was hired for.

I'm being bullied at work, by my union representatives, because they think I was hired unfairly. And it's a small workplace so weird lines are being drawn where it's me and management defending my job against my colleagues. I am way too old for this shit.

Meeting some comrades next week for a candidacy interview for the WWP! I'm so excited-nervous, never been part of a proper communist party before.

Oh yeah, I've used the same vial for most of a year. It'll stay good.

Yes, I would very much like for us to be on the same side here. It would be so cool if the union got her a sick payout for breach of contract, and also nobody was trying to threaten my job or gossiping about me.

It's a scary idea, but I'm already DIYing and being able to control the process is actually more reassuring.
