Usually "unlimited holiday" is a red flag This year I'll have taken a total of 41 days of holiday (including the legally required minimum of 28 days here in the UK) It's nice to be able to actually use extra without being made to feel guilty or have it dangled like a carrot but never given

Our Thor-shaped gay neighbor going out of his way to check in on our two-small-queer-women household every single day is the thread keeping me going right now Never fucking apologizing for living where we're safe again, and that goes for online spaces too

My middle name is Monica, I’m named after an Argentinian sex worker who helped my father escape when it became known the police were looking for him.

I'm not going to lie - I've always wanted darker, more troubling Lego sets that explore the less pleasant sides of humanity. Red Light districts, military stuff, disaster sets, and so on. The world isn't all sunshine and rainbows, and I wish Lego would sometimes reflect that. Wild that AliExpress comes to the fucking rescue.

Banning or not banning Working from Home is so indicative of the black and white days we are living in. Working from Home is great for some, awful for some and Working from Office is great for some, awful for some. As with everything: Don’t outright ban or require it.
