LB "If you can't get your workload done in a normal work week that is a management problem."

so much of that post applies, no matter your industry. I work in healthcare billing, and I see people working uncompensated overtime all the time. #YOURCOMPANYDOESNTLOVEYOU

US friends, in case anyone could use the reminder I'm hearing that open healthcare enrollment is closing on the 12th of Dec! Get it while the getting is good!

I've made a seamless water tile. The source art is a photo I took myself in a Pennsylvania State Park.

I'm gonna keep posting this until one of you fucking boosts it

someone on twitter said:

Voting isn't choosing your character, it's choosing your opponent.

Which is an interesting contextualization and good argument against letting perfect be the enemy of good re: candidates and moving the overton window etc.

A thing I don't like: misuse of the grammatical term "passive voice" to mean "anything phrased in a way that avoids blaming someone". Orwell identified passive voice as a tool often used in weasely euphemisims, but that doesn't mean "passive voice" and "weasely euphemism" are synonyms.

"He died of injuries he sustained while resisting arrest": Nope, no passive voice there. There's three verbs and they're all phrased in the active.

"He was murdered by the police": Now that's passive voice.

In northern Ethiopia, at 130 meters below sea level, in the hottest valley in the world, there exists a series of pools that look more alien than anything that should rightly be found on Earth.

This is the dangerously beautiful Dallol Volcano, and hydrothermal system, found in the Danakil depression. The highest point of the volcano reaches -48 meters above sea level. Brine pools and acidic liquid spout from the ground, building up salt and sulfuric pillars as temporary geysers build them. Here, not two but three tectonic plates move away from each other, causing the land to sink deeper and deeper, and bringing up minerals from deep within the Earth. In the next few million years, the Red Sea will eventually fill the depression.

The word Dallol, in the language of the Afar people, means disintegration. The Disintegration Volcano.

How is it that cats know just the right spot to step and amount of pressure to apply on your stomach to for optimal attention getting??
