  • I ended a close friendship over bullshit like this. For a year, one friend was so deathly allergic that her doctor told her that under no circumstances was she to receive any Covid vaccine.

    Then, then-governor of Oregon Kate Brown required anyone in a Healthcare career to receive said vax. Wouldn’t you know it, this friend’s easy caretaking paycheck was about to end when she spontaneously rid herself of a life-threatening allergy.

    Get the fuck out of here. We’re done.


  • 2 16-oz cups of coffee with non-dairy creamer to start my day, followed by a pre-lunch SF Rockstar, followed by a post-lunch SF Rockstar, an occasional (1-2x weely) afternoon triple shot latte, finished with an occasional dinnertime 20oz Diet Pepsi… all interspersed with 22 sticks of nicotine.

    Might be ADHD, maybe narcolepsy. I still get 10 solid hours of sleep, so it clearly doesn’t interfere with that.





  • As a former driver for both UE and GH, I disagree. The rich fucks who tip nothing could be a target. My best tips came from the blue collar and lower-middle-class houses. Solidarity. (Also why I won’t use the services myself; I can’t tip enough to justify wasting an hour of their time and missed opportunities.)

    As a driver, I started losing money once pandemic pay became a thing. It seemed like nearly all the furloughed teachers and daycare workers got in on the gig. I was lucky if I got one run per hour, and my area had no guaranteed minimum pay, even on scheduled blocks.

    I haven’t found a greener pasture yet, but at least I didn’t totally ruin my car with the excess miles. Silver linings, I guess.
