Life, Without Relaxer

Retail workers cannot go home at closing time until the last customer has left the store.

Not only that, but they don’t get to leave as soon as you sashay out the door either. (This goes for restaurant workers as well) The people who work there also need to count and cash out register drawers, clean the store/restaurant, and make sure things are set for the next day when they re-open, then and only then do they get to go home. The managers of these places, who often don’t make much more than the grunts to be honest, have no choice but to stay until every employee has completed their tasks, the building has been secured, and everyone else has left so they can set the alarm.

Hey everyone, as someone who grew up with horseshoe crabs literally everywhere I’d like to bring your attention to these fine, prehistoric bottom-feeders. Growing up in Gerritsen Beach (In Brooklyn, NY) meant seeing dozens upon dozens of horseshoe crabs trapped in fishing lines and shredded sandbags, stuck above the high-tide marks during low tide, and sometimes washed up on the rocks. Which led to probably hundreds of hours cutting them loose every summer during the mating seasons. Horseshoe crabs are 10000% harmless to you and can be easily handled (just don’t dangle them from their tails (known as a telson); that’s painful and you may accidentally rip the tail off and they’ll have to wait until their next molt to grow a new one!).

Hey y’all!  I have a big favor to ask of you. I’m working on a research paper (two, actually) for my graduate courses and would like my Black/African-American followers to participate in a survey I created. Your personal information WILL NOT be shared–and the data may be applied to my paper on how often Black people/African Americans go out to movie theaters and how often they stay home and watch television, and the reasoning behind everything. Thank you in advance.
