Y’all, I just had a meal fit for a queen. I live in a very crowded and expensive area of America, but my goodness! I’m surprised we haven’t had a French Revolution-esque uprising in this country yet!
What I just ate was fit for millionaires, no joke. I must’ve eaten 7 different types of meat cut for me right off the bone. It was a “chain” restaurant, but it was hella expensive for a chain!

It boggles my mind that things that are standard almost everywhere else is real breakthrough in America
Midwestern Democrats are on fire recently. Over the last few weeks, the Minnesota legislature has passed measures which would turn the state into one of the closest things the US has to a social democracy. They have passed bills:
creating universal paid leave
codifying abortion rights
legalizing weed
making public college free for families earning under $80k
universalizing free school lunches and increasing public education funding
creating plans for 100% carbon-free energy by 2040
investing more in public housing and homelessness prevention programs
creating a new child tax credit to cut child poverty
creating a refuge for those seeking trans healthcare
instituting automatic voter registration
expanding voting rights to former felons
banning anti-gay "conversion therapy"
creating a new tax to fund public transit
banning worker non-compete agreements
strengthening anti-trust rules in healthcare
creating new labor protections for gig economy drivers, teachers, construction workers, warehouse workers, and more
investing in efforts to prevent chemical pollution
creating billions in bonds for public infrastructure and lands
strengthening gun purchase background checks
indexing the gas tax to inflation
creating a public board to regulate pharmaceutical costs
increasing support for public defenders, and
expanding access to health insurance and drivers licenses for undocumented immigrants
and still more!!!
Extremely, unfathomably based

ppl complaining about the writers strike are weak & lame for obvious reasons, but also bc of their reliance on new/current shows. like...develop an unhealthy & isolating hyperfixation on a 20+ years old television show like the rest of us...

it’s always been presented as just a mini trash can. wtf????
I was explaining to my friends yesterday that one of my pet peeves is that not very many people know how to use the modesty bags (wax paper bags in the women's room) and this leads to them being stocked incorrectly and also used incorrectly- resulting in potential biohazards.
I don't blame people for not knowing. The circumstance that of the four people at the table who menstruate, only one person knew what I was talking about... is what makes me mad. Because no one told them. And no one told the people who were supposed to tell them. And everyone somewhat assumed you already knew how to use them so no one reinforced the process. And the culture of shame surrounding menstruation means no one talks about it. And the people stocking the bathrooms typically don't know it- so they get stocked incorrectly. And so the cycle continues and I'm scraping the biohazard up off the bottom.
There's supposed to be a stock of them in the box. A nice, generous handful of them. 20 or so.
You're supposed to take one, put your pads or tampons in the bag.
Then take the bag and throw it in the trash can outside.
This process is meant to reduce the amount of people touching bodily fluids.
Every place that I've worked where I've had the duty of cleaning bathrooms, the people who stock it only put one in the box as a single liner. This causes that bag to become overflowing. It becomes smelly, unsanitary, and in the case of outdoor place like park shelters- attracts bugs or animals.
When I told the guys that work the opposite shift as me that this is the proper process, they said 'I thought it was just like a little trash can' which is a logical conclusion to make when everyone else before you only put a single liner in.
But I noticed that when I stock them correctly, people are more likely to use them correctly- I see less beer cans or gum wads or diapers in the receptacles.
Anyways- if you work in maintenance and see this problem, its real easy to explain that this is how its meant to be used and most people will believe you because no one told them how to do it properly.
This has been a psa.
