This is my poor, battered planner cover. It’s from Franklin-Covey, purchased around 2000/2001, Classic size, orange nylon. It has been through hell and back, and as you can see, it looks a little less presentable/professional with every passing year.
I really want to replace it, but–and here’s the rub–ideally, I want to replace it with the same planner cover. I know a lot of people who use the F-C system will replace their covers every few years, chucking the old covers into a closet to forget about. So please, if you use this system and had this cover, but are no longer using it, drop me a line?
Thank you.

Read the Open Letter to the CEO of Yelp thing. Also, the reactions to it.
It’s hilarious to me, how this now works.
“You should’ve expected to be fired for this.” Yeah. She did. But after months of starving herself and recognizing she will never claw her way out of this hole, she at least wants to say something. Of course, low wage employees should be silent and grateful for their gruel, right? How dare they talk back or have emotions.
“You complained about the snacks!” Complained? No, she said that the snacks provided at work are literally her only meal, the only food she can afford outside a bowl of rice every day. The only way to interpret what she said as “complaining about the snacks,” is in the context of “I am complaining that all I can afford to eat are snacks and am slowly starving.”
“What did you expect, living in an expensive area like the Bay Area?”
Counter question: Why is this never asked to the employers? So lets actually humor these chucklefucks and say that Yelp, one of the most well known and used websites, literally cannot afford to pay their employees a living wage… because its the Bay Area.
Why are they located there, then? Why are they not located in a more reasonable location that frees them up to pay a living wage? They’re the ones who picked that location and you want to tell me they have zero responsibility in this? No sale.
I mean, sure, if they moved to a less fancy area, they’d have to give up some local conveniences and networking opportunities and some of their favorite eateries, but hey, you have to make sacrifices when your new to the working world. That’s what it takes to “live within your means,” right?
“More whiny, entitled Millennials.”
Uh huh. The world will be a marginally better place when people who sneer at “millennials” finally fucking die.
Power to Talia Jane, and fuck Yelp.
Reblogging this since I have actually seen this fucking argument on my dash this morning.

This is one dance party 106-year-old Virginia McLaurin will never forget. To celebrate Black History Month, watch her fulfill her dream of visiting the White House and meeting President Obama.

this is my fav bc an actual major cause for the fall of rome was the resistance of the wealthy to paying taxes which led to a crumbling of infrastructure but who cares about thaaaaat
“Feminism killed Rome” is my new favorite sentence of all time.
Also ballooning military spending, a widening gap between rich and poor, religious intolerance following the Emperor’s embrace of Christianity, and lead poisoning of the water supply.

i’m having an existential crisis
I am so sorry, but this is actually probably true. Plants co evolved to reward us for cultivating and propagating them. It’s called exorphin theory, and plants are pretty much just using us as their means of reproduction. That’s why humans show nearly every sign of species domestication. Have a good night, friend.
Trees are superior and I completely accept this.
I, for one, welcome our arboreal overlords.

the most unrealistic thing about tv shows is how literally out of all the characters on the show no two characters have the same name??? like take any group of 20 white people i guarentee you like five of them are john
One of my friend groups has numbered Daves, not to mention Dan and T’other Dan, commonly known just as T’other.
Aoifes, Aoifes everywhere :)
I worked in a small team of three people, the other two of whom were named Caroline. A fourth member was added to the team shortly before I left for another job. Her name was also Caroline.
I think everyone was slightly relieved I was only there for a short time because they didn’t have to stop calling the team “the Carolines.” As in “I’m not sure, maybe the Carolines will know which driver has the north Rocommon route on recycling week.”
This is why I translated my name when I started college. Apparently something about 1980 – 1982 or so made people call baby girls Sarah.
My friends during middle school included a Jessi, a Hannah, another Hannah, an Emily, and an Olive.
My friends from high school included a second Jessi, a third Hannah, another Emily, and an Olivia. Also like 2 Nicks and a David.
Storytelling was always an adventure.
My current cohort at work includes; Lauren, Laura, Lorrie, Lisa, Lindy, and Lynn.
I used to live in a small village where yes, 50% of all the women born between 78-82 were called Sarah. SO MANY SARAHS.
I attended the University of St. Catherine, a Catholic women’s college. Easily a third of the student body was named some version of Mary (Maria, etc.) or Catherine (Kathleen, Kate, Cat, Katie, Katelyn, etc.).
One summer I worked with a Jesse (final ‘e’ silent), a Jessie, and a Jessica. I was the only one who could keep their names sorted out. I think we had 7 Matts in my year in High School, too. Most of them got referred to by their last name, as I recall.
In one ER I worked in we had sufficient Kates to staff the entire department with us. On one occasion it happened (not, so far as I know, intentionally). The whole day was cheerfully filled with “Oh, no, not me-Kate, you want that-Kate”.
It drove everyone else nuts.

And now for the fightback…
In the wake of the arrest and detention of Sienna Fox, the state of Western Australia is now seeing some of the most intense scrutiny on its treatment of transgender prisoners ever. This is a major news story in basically every mainstream news outlet active on this coast.
Today, I will be writing an open letter to the Minister for Corrective Services of Western Australia, in the name of our sex worker advocacy group, calling on him to immediately cease the practice of detaining trans women in male prisons.
We need every ally we can get on this – and I mean everyone. If you represent a trans organisation, in Australia or internationally, we would love your signature on this. If you represent a queer organisation, we would love your signature on this. If you represent a sex worker organisation, if you represent if you represent an organisation dealing with any kind of marginalised people (and so, transgender people dealing with the criminal justice system), we would love your signature on this. If you are an individual activist of any prominence on any of these things, we would love your signature on this. If any of this describes any of your friends, we would love their signature too.
There will be a change.org petition to give everyone an opportunity to express support individually, as all of Sienna’s respective communities have been absolutely amazing so far, but we have never had an opportunity like this to take on the issue of trans women in the criminal justice system on this coast once and for all with this much media attention on the subject.
I am going to write up the open letter today, and anyone who signs will have a chance to see it before it goes out. I’m going to hit the phones tomorrow and call basically everyone I can think of, but it would make my life heaps easier if people could get in touch with us first!
Please, please reblog this far and wide. This is an opportunity to save not only Sienna from a unique kind of hell, but other trans women in detention in this state and those who wind up there in future. We are preparing for one hell of a fight, and we need friends, lots of them – and not just those here but those far beyond Australian shores.
If you are interesting in signing on, or know people who could, please send me an email at evolvingmatterblog@gmail.com or message me through Tumblr.
Together, we can do this.
Please share this. This is something we can all do to help prevent a monumental injustice.
