  I want more Animal Crossing 🤞 I’m hoping with it’s success for New Horizons that we don’t have to wait 12 years again for the next one. A new Mario would be good too though, Odyssey was a lot of fun.

  I bought Reka and Baldurs Gate 3, Haven’t played BG3 yet but Reka is fun! It’s buggy so I’m holding off on playing more until it’s a bit more stable but I’m excited. Been playing a bit of my backlog though before jumping into BG3.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Workplaces need to do a better job at supporting menstruating workers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of people don’t get enough paid sick leave to cover 1-2 days off a month (maybe more depending on medical conditions like endometriosis). I know people that have to take unpaid sick days because of this, and others that take a lot of pain meds to be able to get through the work day. I’m fortunate that I do get more sick days than a lot of people in Canada but I still don’t get enough to cover a day every month plus any additional I need to take for appointments, migraines, illness, etc.

  I also can see the stigma these workers receive when they’re so frequently absent from work, and a flexible work arrangement could help reduce that.

  People can’t afford to just take unpaid sick leave all the time, and when they’re passed up for job opportunities because they’re “unreliable” then that also doesn’t improve their financial situations.
