Check-in ... what did you get for Juneteenth?

At my work I was greeted with an email that our office was not closing due to the short notice, but that everyone was granted an extra vacation day for the year.

What did everyone else get?

to the party. Think it was someone running for a State house seat.

He's a blue blood who traces his family tree to the some of the first settlers in New England, and while he's quite well-off, he's also pretty liberal, and definitely a Democrat. Big supporter of Phoenix Art Museum, and the arts in general. Did NOT like Trump.

Small company here. My Partner ran for state office. She has a Fuck Bush and Planned Parenthood sticker in her office along with a signed photo of her and Carter. Always fun as most people who come into our office are righties. During the BLM protests we would shut down early to attend.
