I will smack you like a bad donkey

"the library": a nice space to hang, granted, but not really the same fun social vibes.

"the night-library that serves pink drinks and tea": okay okay, now we're cooking.

"coffee shop": a bit more social and rambunctious than the average library, but still too plain imo.

"the museum": still a tad too formal I feel like but definitely not opposed.

"the book club": again, not opposed, but book clubs do have the catch of requiring you to plan ahead and do some homework to really enjoy it, not a very "I'm bored on a friday and want to go do something fun" activity.

"wine tasting":

"dnd/ttrpg nights": unfortunately I'm stupid and am bad at these games. I mean unfortunately these hypothetical people are stupid and bad at these games.

"arcades with cover fees at the door and then free games": won't even lie this sounds killer, gonna see if they have any of those in my area.

I hadn't made a leafkerchief since I made that video tutorial a few years ago, but I've just made another one in rusty brown cotton. This time, instead of joining the veins to the midrib in a straight line, I curved them on that end too. It took a while to do all the painting but I think it makes the overall effect a bit better.

starbucks is planning to ban the use of masks and respirators by employees, unless they recieve written permission from a doctor. this quickly follows their regressive dress code changes that were criticized for antiblackness and transmisogyny, and made unilaterally without bargaining with the union. and then they partially rolled that dress code back because of criticism. so lets give them some more criticism lol

a lot of yall are probably already boycotting anyways (and i support it) but please do me a favor and flood starbucks social medias telling them you support masking, and that you don't want disabled partners to be thrown away like this. it would mean a lot to me as someone who knows SO many disabled and at risk people who work in these stores.

That means that when you donate, it goes to change.org. Now, this isn't useless — it does mean that the petition gets boosted. However, you're pretty much doing the same thing by reblogging. I am concerned about people donating something like $40 dollars since I'm not sure if they realize it doesn't contribute to the legal fund or not.

There was a big push to eliminate "degrading jobs" but the strategy was to eliminate the position, then create a new position outside of the bargaining unit to do the work. So like, we wouldn't have dishwashers, but we'd have people who washed dishes that weren't eligible to be in the union.

I was like A) what the actual fuck? Dish washing isn't "degrading", it's fucking vital. B) What the actual fuck? You want to create a union just to exploit different people?

The first time someone told me that busing tables was "degrading", I was like "Oh, uhh, yeah, like it's very necessary work but under compensated for how vital it is?" and they responded "No, touching plates that other people have eaten off of is disgusting."
