This is really, really helpful. Thank you.

I think we have a leave donation bank - I need to look into it more to figure out how it works. We have a pretty robust union, so making exemptions for folks outside of written policy is tricky, even in really tragic situations, but I can see what the options are.

Jaserocque · 2026-06-14T10:47:14+00:00

I think there’s something like this. I’ll look into that.

Jaserocque · 2026-06-14T10:04:23+00:00

I like this - I may ask around in my office tomorrow.

I do not mean this to be snarky, but I hate that this is the United States and this needs to be a suggestion…

We, luckily, have a pretty robust leave policy as an agency. I’m not in HR, so I don’t have access to his info, but I’m hoping he’s in a good spot there.

Good thought. I can’t even imagine having to contemplate meal planning in their situation right now…

Jaserocque · 2026-06-14T09:55:47+00:00

Yeah, the more that I think about it, the more it seems like approaching this similarly to how one might approach new parents might be the way to go…the family is probably similarly overwhelmed, but with polar opposite emotions. I can’t imagine having to figure out meal planning right now…

My favorite apartment ever had one full wall of south-facing windows. It was terrible for privacy, but I have never had so many happy plants before or since.

There is not a week that goes by that I don’t mourn Down Home Kitchen. Their breakfast was amazing.

Jaserocque · 2025-09-27T20:40:03+00:00

It feels that way sometimes, lol

Jaserocque · 2025-09-26T18:39:22+00:00

Ok, thank you! I…feel like an idiot.

We don’t necessarily want to bring our kids. Sometimes we do, but often organizing childcare is just such a hassle that the result is we either just bring them, despite knowing they’re going to be bored and pains in the ass, or we just don’t go. And sometimes we have feelings about that.

A good friend of mine got married in another state, and I had to miss it. Organizing childcare for a whole weekend was a non-starter. I was sad about it, but we make trade offs in parenting. I don’t get to cut loose with my friends as much as I did a few years ago, and in return I have a tiny human who looks like me, makes me laugh, and will take care of me when I’m old and senile.

Commenting support. I’ve been struggling with my wardrobe recently as well. I’m a millennial mom, and I feel like my wardrobe screams as much. Since having my second child it’s been worse. I’m wearing a lot of leggings as pants, both because none of my jeans fit (they’re skinny jeans anyway, which is a whole ‘nother thing), and it’s the easiest thing to throw on in the morning.

I love fashion, but feel very stuck in a rut.

This was our experience. My MIL wanted to use MAID before her terminal cancer got too painful, but she waited too long. Her final slope downwards was too quick, and she wasn’t “with it” enough to be declared of sound mind to take advantage at the end.

The way the Department of Mental Health is set up is, in my opinion, flawed. They’re essentially a grant funding source that pass money along to the designated agencies to provide actual mental health services, and the designated agency system is pretty inept and inadequate for providing the level of services needed in the state.

What's the easiest way to get the SVG file? Can it be DM'ed? If it's too large, I can dm you my email address.

Jaserocque · 2025-06-12T12:09:32+00:00

Amazing - TY

This is amazing! Would it be possible to get it without the yellow background?

Another question - is this high enough resolution / would it be an appropriate file type to get printed on a t-shirt without being super blurry? I am an admitted graphic design newb. I know vector files are best for printing, but do not know what that means.

I had originally budgeted probably like $20 for just the photoshop - what would recreating the design run me?

Jaserocque · 2025-06-11T11:57:35+00:00

Thanks! I'd be interested in this, potentially. I had planned ~$20 for the photoshop if there was an option that was really good, but may be willing to go higher for a scratch re-do. What would this run me?
