When I decided to take the Maymont job over the job I held at VMFA, VMFA's offer to get me to stay, since they couldn't match the salary at Maymont, was to grant me a 4-day work week. Had I known then what I know now about Maymont's lack of ethics, I'd have stayed at VMFA.

Is anybody here a junk man or knows a junk man who can come pick up this big, steel table I have? I see my local scrap man from time to time but it's not like I have a bat signal for him.

Treated myself to a coffee this morning since I’ll likely be focused on the same task all day, like yesterday. I’m just over a month into the new job and despite the workload, I’m still happy about it!

I’m having major body dysmorphia this week and it’s giving me a huge spike of anxiety every morning when figuring out what to wear. I just want to curl up on the couch and not have to think about my appearance.

For some fruit trees it can be bad. My berry bushes and coming earlier than normal, but they're cold hardy enough that they should be fine. Trees though that are mostly cold hardy but not usually budding now can be completely killed, or at least killed back to the ground to have to regrow up from the roots. If it's flowering early, there's a decent risk of losing all the buds and getting no fruit this year. People might need to cover trees they don't usually need to.

100%. It is another symptom of global climate change.

>After all, she pointed out, “We already capitalize Asian, Hispanic, African American and Native American.”

Then the obvious move is to capitalize White as well.

>capitalizing the word in this context risks following the lead of white supremacists.

Nonsense. White supremacists drink water too, but that doesn't mean water consumption risks following their lead.
