I'm doing the annual HR training video regimen, and the unit on discrimination and harassment is particularly grating given the current intensification of fascism. Have any of these trainings actually improved inclusion or reduced discrimination??
The training I need isn't "how not to be a discriminatory asshole," it's "how to stop the assholes next door"

"As we start the new year, I would like to remind everyone that it is now almost 120 years since the US decided consumer protection - by which I mean regulation - mattered. Given the upcoming presidential inauguration, let's talk about how that happened - and why it's so important. (A thread)"

My younger kid's preschool follows a different district for school closings than the district we live in, and today that means one kid started school on time and the other has a 2-hr delay

Also the authors can't seem to help themselves from mentioning every 5 pages that they work at Harvard and this class was happening at Harvard. They called their friends, who happen to be a dozen internationally recognized chefs from places most people can never afford to eat it, and they just dropped by for a few public lectures at - did we mention? - Harvard
How nice

The book I'm reading describes a class on the science of food and it's one pretentious name drop after another. Yes, haute cuisine can be really cool, but it's a very one-percenter take to highlight all of that without any acknowledgement of, say, food insecurity or the importance (and science) of the humble can in keeping people fed

If ever there were a sign of my ADHD it might be my tendency to abandon books even though I was enjoying them and then later dig them out from under a stack of old magazines because I felt compelled to finish reading them at the last-minute-yet-entirely-arbitrary "deadline" of the year's end

Tonight I finished reading three books that I had left partially finished on a side table throughout the year. One I had started in August, one I started in July, and one I started January 17 ๐ฌ
Maybe next I'll finally read the end of the book I started in March of 2023 ๐

I'm thinking that "How can I help?" is often a hard question to answer and may even be the wrong question. "What do you need right now?" is often more to the point and lets the recipient determine how they can best help meet that need

Behold, my first-ever crochet project: fidget puffballs for my 4 year old
It's basically loops of double stitches that curl and twist on themselves to make the frilly ball. I figured it was a good first project because the twists would easily hide my beginner mistakes and the recipient isn't going to be picky about how they look anyway
I get why people like #crochet. It's very soothing. You could say I'm hooked ๐

Final grades are in, so it's the season for appeal emails.
It takes so much emotional energy to convey both "yes, failing a course sucks" and "no, I can't in good conscience change it to a passing grade"

I have been quite sick for several days because I took a risk I shouldn't have (stomach bug, not Covid, still should have known better)
And also this week I got bad news that I probably shouldn't talk about publicly yet
It has been a rough week

These coffeecakes are a family tradition. It's the enriched dough for crescent rolls (which my family calls butterhorns for reasons lost to history -- they don't contain any butter), which you cut into little bits and pinch into little balls. You make a simple butterscotch in the bottom of a cake pan, add a layer of pecans, then put the balls of dough on top and bake. Soooo yummy
