I'm visually impaired and use a white cane. When a car is stopped across a pedestrian crossing controlled by lights and I have the green light it's getting a few very hard wacks of my cane. Your paint isn't as important as my safety and hopefully you understand why.

I spent far too much time and money in my late twenties and early thirties making sure I could accommodate guests before realising I really don't like having people in my house

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

I never thought I'd be laughed at for saying I bookmark stuff on my phone for quick reference and use wikipedia daily for looking up stuff that interests me, but today, at work, I was. Imagine life never having gone down a wiki rabbit-hole. How utterly dull.

A co-worker was telling me about their room-mates complaining about the idea of having Autumnal & Halloween decorations up at the same time. This led to us imagining mixing the two and having squirrels in little costumes trick or treating for nuts, and it just sounds [expletive deleted] adorable!!

Met a great guy and things were going really well until the third date when he told me he was a landlord and started complaining about his tenants. Ghosted him after that, not going to be living with a parasite

Black text on white page that reads:

In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.

None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent.

We created the first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running. On Labor Day, we honor the workers who came before us by fighting for the workers who come next.

Happy Labor Day, New York. The future of worker power is ours to build. Learn more at nyc.gov/workerpower.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

For nearly a decade I've been pretending I enjoy a particular local café because I accidentally told the owner it was "the best coffee in town" on their opening day. The coffee is terrible. I go twice a week out of guilt.

73 yo. I own about 23,000 staples. I use at most half-a-dozen a month. My staples will clearly outlive me. Some of the staples are in plastic boxes, so they will last a long time even if landfilled. So this is my legacy, boxes of staples? I get stressed thinking about this.

I used to play chess with an older guy. One evening I pulled the obscure En Passant capture move. He was furious and claimed I was cheating. I left with him shouting. Next day his daughter phoned to say he had died in his sleep. I never told her I think I killed him with chess.

Pro actor. Never diagnosed neurodiverse. Thinking hard this morning about how theatre acting is great because you get to say familiar things multiple times and are clearly rewarded, and if you don't understand a complex social situation the director will explain it to you

he is 73 years old. my god.
I normally wouldn't print Perez's full name, as many in his position are understandably nervous to draw attention to themselves and risk retribution by the government. But he told me he wants his name and story published, and that he wants to advocate for other immigrants still behind bars in Massachusetts. "I've lost everything. I'm old. I don't want to be hiding anything," he said. "So I speak up. If I die, I die."

Sinopa! After the non-avian dinosaurs, but before cats and dogs, mammals like this were abundant carnivores. Sinopa was a hyaenodont, not related to hyenas (or foxes, despite the name) but a different form of meat-eater with a specialized shearing bite along the cheek teeth. 🧪
The reconstructed skeleton of a carnivorous fossil mammal called Sinopa, reconstructed as if pouncing down onto its front feet.
