Hey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.

Yeah and they've varied COVID eligibility a lot. Privately it's £100 a jab roughly, NHS could do it cheaper. Especially given you could give it at the same appointment as flu and thereby cut the cost of the healthcare worker delivering it.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

The Phantom Menace is the best movie ever because the entire premise is essentially "Amazon has obtained its own private army and now two future samurai have to stop it from forcing Natalie Portman's planet to use its services by cutting through Jeff Bezos's army of robots and attempting to convince Congress to do something about it
SPOILER WARNING Congress doesn't do jack so Natalie Portman has to take matters into her own hands also the day is saved by a redneck kid the samurai picked up when the car broke down".
