bit of a misnomer because the zoning rules are in place due to this density, but still interesting

I landed on my pointer and middle finger as well as my thumb and my 2 fingers are getting a lot better but my thumb still hurts a lot and I can't move it certain ways without a lot of pain. It's not very swollen or bruised though. Anyway, what kind of doctor should I go to? Gp or orthopedic?

Got a tuning fork?

So in a city with an acute shortage of affordable housing, you can't build a building if it's "too tall" or has "too many apartments". Makes sense. If you're Trump.

I lay on the floor to wipe.

Something happened at work that really upset me in a way that nothing has in a long time. I work for a non-profit and part of my job is to speak to people about donating money for special events, typically our biggest which are our Walk and Bike events.

Today I spoke with several donors and all of them were nothing but generous, which is pretty much the norm. Now I don't call new people and ask for money. These are people who have already donated for a event or sponsored a Walk or Bike participant so I call to basically thank them for their donation and ask them if they'd be willing to help convince others to donate or register for the event with a fee.

Anyway, after I was done with my calls, my supervisor approached me and informed me that one of those callers was being removed from our member list and will not be allowed to donate to or participate in future events. When I asked why, my supervisor told me in confidence that this member called our Chapter President and asked that I not be the one calling him for donations because of my gayness. Apparently I sounded gay on the phone and he didn't feel comfortable talking to me.

I was absolutely stunned and honestly, I feel numb.
