And it pissed me off so badly that I spent the ENTIRE WORK DAY today compiling evidence from every project my team has ever done for her, pulling past emails she’d sent us, putting together an entire case proving that she had been the problem all along. That she got projects mixed up, that she’d made requests that were nonsensical, literally everything you could possibly imagine. Screenshots of emails, reports we’d submitted, EVERYTHING.

This woman in particular has been terrorizing my team for years, her name is almost a slur in my office, I had simply had ENOUGH of her.

I put all of this evidence together and sent it to all of my bosses at 4:30pm. Then I took a long break to eat a sweet treat and drink some tea.

After my break, my bosses all called in an emergency meeting with me and they said they read my report and fucking loved it. And I sat on a teams call with my boss’ boss as she wrote my nemesis the scathing email I had always fantasized about sending, using the evidence I’d compiled, and hit send.

"We find annual damages owed by the global 10 percent to be $1.7–$5.7 trillion, equivalent to $2.3k–$7.5k per person (in 2017 US dollars)." "This surpasses international climate and biodiversity financing gaps." In other words, environmental taxes targeted at this group could help pay for the large-scale transitions needed to keep our societies safe from environmental collapse, and improve the lives of lower-income households in the process. For instance, they found that even conservative estimates for the top decile in the US and China could each cover a $675 billion gap in biodiversity protection funding by 2030. The mid-level estimates for the US's top 10 are more than enough to cover the $993 billion needed each year to meet targets set at COP30 by 2035.

I’m a huge sucker for the whole headcanon of Donnie using his own form of ASL especially when he was younger, I made this tot comic a few months back and felt like it deserved to be inked.

bonus for after he turned back to normal:

I like the idea that Raph taught him when it became a communication problem, and Mikey noticed this for the first time when they were turned into tots (since Mikey was literally a baby when it happened originally), so he had to break out Raph’s “How to be a Big Brother like a Boss” book (from the og ToddlerMNT storyboards hehe) to figure out how to help. :,)

also I know DAMN well that Mikey didn’t know this as a child and genuinely through Donnie just couldn’t hear him.

Poor baby doesn’t know anything he’s just three apples tall he doesn’t know any better 😭😭

Even in the house it was LOUD.  Probably the loudest thing I have ever experienced but at a normal, predictable interval.  You would begin to time your sentences with little pauses with the rest of the lighthouse crew so you would talk like this while making your………..HORN…………. tea and then carry on talking because you knew when it would go off.  It rattled the walls and the dishes in our cabinet.

At least one girl had died there. They kept photos of her everywhere “in honor of her sacrifice” because she had decided to take the winter watch alone and died in a storm where bounders the size of mini vans had been lifted out of the ocean and left scattered across the island, to say nothing of the ice chunks.  People weren’t allowed to be alone on the watch after that.

One day a dead moose washed up on shore and it took my entire crew all day but we managed to rig up a line to hang it up to dry because we thought having a moose skeleton in the house would really spice the living room up a bit.  It did.  Weird shit happens when six of you are left alone, like ALONE ALONE, no cell reception, no wifi, just a radio to contact the real world and not a lot of reason to do that.  People don’t go on lighthouse jobs if they want to stay connected, I’ve found.
