Before the sun even came up, my body filed several grievances 😭 Left side sciatic pain shooting from my back to my heel, meanwhile a mystery dime-sized knot done appeared on the OTHER thigh like management added an extra assignment nobody asked for 😂 Breakfast was a BC powder and a banana, and now I’m scheduling urgent care before going to vote because the working class does not get to clock out apparently 🫠

Very much Dainty Discourse Podcast “Clocked In & Covered” vibes today 😭💅🏽

Clocked In and Covered🎙️✨

As a seasoned postal employee, I need people to stop falling for the media spin surrounding vote-by-mail. USPS has processed election mail for years. The real issue is chronic understaffing, micromanagement, burnout, and poor hiring practices after COVID — not some manufactured fraud narrative. Even APWU has addressed the fear-driven messaging around vote-by-mail and the attacks on public postal services. 

This is what happens when essential public infrastructure is stretched thin while political narratives distract from the actual workforce problems affecting communities every day.
