[ID: A Small, Round, Bright Orange Goldfish With Big Black Eyes. The Goldfish Is Holding A Tiny Knife

Groundhog Day is a holiday in US and Canada (February 2nd). It comes from a superstition in which if a groundhog emerges from its burrow and sees its own shadow, it means that there will be six more weeks of winter; if it does not see its own shadow, spring will come early. The most widely recognized "official groundhog" is Punxsutawney Phil, who lives in Punxsutawney, PA (USA) with his wife, Phyllis, and two children. (Yes, the groundhog is married.)

This year, Phil predicted ❄️ more winter! ❄️

Hey here is your friendly reminder to not tell your nice boss stuff.

I’m at the executive management level for my very small company and I have 4 people who report directly to me. I am a nice boss. I’m friendly with my employees, I treat them like professional adults, I actively try to create a positive work environment, and I mentor them and make sure they’re advancing in their careers. I do my best to shield them from the rest of management doing stupid shit. My employees like working for me.

The other day one of my employees came to ask if she could change her hours on Mondays. I said yes immediately because it’s helpful for me to know when she’s here and when she’s not, but as long as she gets her work done I don’t care when and where she does it. She then proceeded to tell me that it was so she could attend therapy and like … I will never use this information but … as a general rule don’t fucking do that.

Do not tell your employer shit about your mental or physical health except for the bare minimum needed to request a reasonable accommodation. Even your nice boss can fire you, even your nice boss can unfairly change your working conditions, and even your nice boss at some point is probably going to face pressure from their superiors.

I’m not saying don’t trust your boss with anything ever. I’m just saying that anytime you are in the workplace you need to keep your private information private. You can still have a good relationship with your boss. Your workplace can still be pleasant. But if it ever feels like disclosing private information is required in order to have a good relationship with your boss, please see that as a red flag.

Elphaba: Glinda, on a scale from 1 to 10, you're a 9. Glinda: What?! Why?! Elphaba: Because I'm the 1 you need. Glinda: But I'm a 10! Elphaba: Glinda, it's a pick up li- Glinda: No, I'm a 10!!!!

@effervescent-liminality this sounds suspiciously like what you do (joke)

I do the opposite of gatekeeping, I’m not going to shut up until you like this thing as much as I do

Keep going stink 💖

"Luomen is a normal person." Nah, I don't believe that, I'm convinced he was as eccentric as the rest of the La clan in his youth, he's just old now, he has to focus his energy on other things like idk breathing.

(person with normal hobbies and interests voice) hey do you guys wanna see some good screenshots from my screenshots folder

It’s that time of year to say no to the Salvation Army.

Never forget they let a Trans woman die instead of helping her.

Never forget they have tossed entire families on the street for having an LGBT child.

Never forget they tell non Christian families that unless they convert they will not help them.

Never forget that the Salvation Army is bigoted and hateful, many of the bell ringers routinely heckle and harass LGBT couples.

jinshi you useless little slut you're breasting boobily around the place moping about telling your crush your identity all the while getting heat stroke literally no one is doing it like you i love you so much
