paying to park at a hotel i’m already paying to stay at is crazy. what’s next, a cover charge to enter my own room?

In a capitalist economy, if you aren’t born into wealth, your only capital is your labor. Your body becomes a commodity you’re forced to sell just to survive. And if you can’t earn enough to sustain yourself, even that ability begins to slip away.

I’m going back to physical cookbooks because I’m DONE with closing 20 ads, reading your granny’s origin story, and scrolling through an entire memoir before I finally get to the actual recipe.

What I find truly poetic about hippos being one of the deadliest animals on Earth is that they’re herbivores. Completely plant-based. They have no interest in eating you, they just seem to personally hate you on a personal level, and I respect that.

The kid’s school day is structured exactly like an adults work day. 8 hour day, 15 minute break at 10.30 &, 45 minutes for lunch. In the class they must remain focused, still, and "productive" for nothing in particular outside of arbitrary exams and "age range" goals

Any company that forces employees to commute to an office for a job that could be done remotely should have to cover the cost of that commute.

PepsiCo, the parent company of Doritos, lost over $1 billion after raising the price of a bag of Doritos to $6-$7. People stopped buying them. They later lowered the price to recover some of the lost revenue, but sales are still down. Consumers made their choice. I absolutely love that for them.

unfortunately, i don’t think cooking together is romantic. i need you to get out of my kitchen and let me work.

what sucks is that life could be so easy. so easy. we have enough resources to feed people, house them, and lift them out of poverty. we could distribute those resources fairly and give people room to actually live. instead, millions suffer while a handful of billionaires hoard more wealth than they could ever spend.

employers should be legally required to include salaries in every job listing. no exceptions. it’s ridiculous to spend weeks interviewing for a job only to find out at the end that the pay isn’t even worth it. salary transparency should be the bare minimum.

airbnb owners, if you’re charging me a cleaning fee, i’m not cleaning anything. hotels don’t charge a cleaning fee, and i don’t have to strip the beds, take out the trash, load the dishwasher or wash the towels. why am i paying a fee just to become your unpaid employee?

the fact that billionaires still want more money needs to be studied by the same people who study serial killers.

The whole point of a minimum wage is to ensure ppl can afford a basic standard of living. If someone working full-time still can’t afford rent and food, then the minimum wage has failed at the very thing it was created to do.

one of the weird things about having ageing parents is getting a text that says “call me when you get the chance.” it’s a gamble between someone dying and them not knowing how to change the tv input.

“You’re going to get left behind if you don’t use AI.” Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and my books that I can understand without needing an AI summary.

Covid made us realize that the people who stock grocery stores, drive trucks, farm, and work in hospitals are the ones actually keeping civilisation running. If bankers, CEOs, billionaires, and entrepreneurs stopped working, the world would barely notice.

What I find genuinely poetic about hippos being one of the deadliest animals on Earth is that they’re herbivores. Completely plant-based. They have no interest in eating you, they just seem to hate you on a personal level, and I respect that.

Ppl don’t see classism as a real form of violence bc they believe being poor reflects people’s character rather than being a result of systemic oppression. In order for rich ppl to thrive, a whole lot more ppl have to barely survive.

I’ve always found myself staying up late even if I was exhausted or had to wake up early bc I wanted more me time. I read up on it and it’s called revenge bedtime procrastination and ppl who are highly stressed do it to gain a sense of control back in their life and spend their

Walmart has $3.97 blankets so if y’all wanna go cop some and pass them out to the homeless in your community, do so before the sale ends! The winter is coming quickly!
