wait the math on this is actually hilarious. given that the current federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr and an espresso martini is usually like 15 bucks, a $30 dollar espresso martini in a $30-an-hour minimum wage world represents a doubling of real purchasing power lol

Chunks of sausage make everything better. We tried adding them to our contact lens solution, but public outcry and the FDA forced us to stop.

ANYWAY come to Zanzibar's tomorrow if you want to see a 30 year old woman trying very hard not to cry at the register

Babies don't even realize they've left the womb until about 12 weeks so I don't think it's too extreme to say that having to go back to work when my daughter is not yet 8 weeks old is fucking cruel

I have to go back to work tomorrow because I live in America where you're lucky if you get 6 weeks of paid maternity leave. I got 0 weeks of paid maternity leave but we are blessed with very supportive friends and family who helped us make it work.

What the fuck

My condolences. Definitely the last place I would have expected a headline like that

LW is easily the most miserable place I've ever been in the Midwest. Just the massive federal prison surrounded by shitty rental properties that definitely cost too much and dollar store after dollar store. Literally a prison town designed to hold convicts' loved ones hostage. This speaks VOLUMES

Viewing exponential growth and profits as the only metrics for success (rather than quality, efficiency, longevity, or user exoerience) is how we got endless enshittification and subscriptions for things we used to own. Greed is squeezing the utility out of everything.

band vocalists: pls mosh at my show or i'm gonna cry myself to sleep tonight

Especially when they try to force people to move closer to the stage. That's basically guaranteeing Jake and I will take a further step back because we did not go to a punk show to be told what to do lmfao

Was just saying the other day one of the cringiest live music faux pas is when vocalists try to force a mosh pit. Have you considered that you are simply not rocking hard enough for that and that that is okay?

Spectacular idea

Oh for sure!! I used to listen to way more audiobooks in the car but then I intentionally built the habit of looking up words and references I don't understand and I don't want to do that while I'm driving lmao. I miss them but have essentially replaced them with podcasts

for whatever reason it "looks more professional" to be on your phone during set downtime than it does to crochet or read a book and that is a particular autism-driven grievance of mine that is my chosen hill to die on

My personal reason for loving Libby is the digital magazine shelf.

-access to more cool magazines than I could ever afford to subscribe to
-beats doomscrolling
-I always have fun little articles to read when I'm waiting in line somewhere or when there's downtime on set

Bolsonaro arrested, Mike Flood getting his ass handed to him at a town hall......good day to log into this app

As an atheist the psalms are one of the only parts of the bible I actually enjoyed reading

Americans Say No As Terrified ICE Agents Flee from Angry Citizens "It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming. Every day, anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!" a rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in Kansas.

"Did you not realize what this would be, being f*cking Gestapo? Quit your job. It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming...anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!” A rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in #Kansas. www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/americans-...

Looks like shit!

FUTURE TO BELIEVE IN Even When Times Are Tough, Keep Socialism as Your North Star

“Remember we are fighting for a better system, not to make all men uniform or perfect. Filled with a conviction of right, resolved with a determination to win, nothing can stop the onward march of this movement for a higher civilization until final victory is achieved”

- Mayor Daniel Hoan

New mantra

next you're gonna tell me the water here is undrinkable!!!

We've only been under an air quality warning for one day and not being able to take my daughter outside is driving me nuts. I didn't realize how much our little walks were breaking up the day :')

Asking Santa for a reverse osmosis thing for Christmas

It really sucks to have drink a fuck ton of water to maintain a good breastmilk supply in a part of the country where water is not safe to drink. I'm up to my ass in fuckin plastic jugs I hate this

Jake's only been back to work for 6 hours now and I have no clue how single parents do it. If you are a single parent getting the job done you have my utmost admiration
