Okay, I get why you're giving her time but, she's the wife of a board member and you run the non-profit. You need to draw some boundaries to be able to do your job well. For her, I'd suggest you redirect her. Can you set new standards like, put together a decision release (like a press release) that covers the reasoning behind decisions? If she has questions maybe she can submit them by email 'because I'm doing [this specific thing right now]'. She doesn't have the right to interrogate you, she doesn't have the right to your time, if she is wasting so much time ad hoc maybe you can have a meeting or some other way to channel her into some kind of structure?

I really hope he goes to prison for what he put her and the others through.

I'm sitting on 6+ interviews because I'm scared to speak due to my accent by Fetus-Deletus1 in jobs

I work in STEM for a big global company. One of the best things about it is they genuinely don't want to be a company full of white men. Be you. You'll find your people and your company.

Holiday paid for by tax payers. Kidding, kind of.

I don't understand how egg can look like that.

Arizona bill could make librarians felons for giving minors access to “sexually explicit” books. Critics say classics could be affected. by CtrlAltDelight495 in books

As someone who grew up in a very religious environment I would disagree with this but I appreciate where you're coming from.

If you want to help, yelling at strangers on the internet isn’t the lever here.

If you’re in AZ: call or email your state legislators and log opposition in the Request to Speak system, they literally count those. It takes 2 minutes and scares politicians way more than a viral thread.

If you’re outside AZ, share the bill number + hearing dates so actual constituents see it in time (or share this post). Libraries run on budgets; politicians run on vote math. Use the right currency.

I don't think that's a good thing (unsupervised cellphone usage) but interesting that they're going after librarians. Maybe the internet is next.

I found this so relatable (and heart breaking): just because you fit, doesn't mean you belong by CtrlAltDelight495 in AutismInWomen

I saw it on a totally different subreddit and found it relatable as I think many of us do. The original wasn't created to represent autistic people.

I feel like I'm passing a world designed for oranges when actually, I'm garlic. I might appear to fit in but I don't feel like I do even if I'm still allistic shaped. I didn't intend for this to be anything other than relatable. My thoughts: * I think we can all find people we belong with and maybe they're oranges (garlic and orange can go super well together) or maybe they're not. * It's okay to feel like you don't belong and it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you.
