Hey shout out to every custodial/sanitation worker taking out and cleaning up literal hot garbage so that the rest of us can go about our summer days like it doesn’t exist

I know "walkable cities" is considered a buzzword and urbanists are increasingly seen as preachy liberal wonks, but we're literally right. If you spend enough time in an American city outside the literal bubble of your car you will see people carrying groceries along the shoulders of freeways, running for their lives to cross a street, or waiting for an hour to catch a delayed bus. If you read local obituaries about pedestrian and cyclist fatalities, they're not white tech bros in spandex but people in redlined neighborhoods without proper sidewalks. You spend enough time trying to own the urbanist nerds and oops, you start condoning a status quo that is overtly cruel and racist.

thinking about how klingon courting works by the female roaring and throwing heavy objects and the male reading love poetry

Do gay Klingons ever get frustrated/dejected because their gentleman caller hasn’t so much as kicked a pebble their way or uttered the slightest growl?

Do questioning Klingons ever show their crush their poetry, only to have their crush assume that he’s helping them proofread or something?

Is there ever an issue where a lesbian Klingon tries very awkwardly to recite poetry to her lady love? 

Or instances where two lesbians are basically beating the shit out of each other and both thinking “I know she thinks this is just a regular old gal fight, but no, seriously, I’m trying to declare my intentions here”?

Are there euphemisms for LGBT Klingons? “Don’t try to win her over, Riker. She reads poetry.” 

This one of the best things I’ve ever read

you guys should really try talking to older people sometimes. like anyone over the age of forty. it would cure you i swear

family doesn't count. go to a local lutheran churches coffee hour and chat with the old ladies.

there's a shitton of reasons for this btw.

one, because a lot of young queer people have drawn an "us v them" line in their heads where it's "the queer community v anyone born before 2000" which is inherently harmful to older queer people

two, because a lot of the time, if you have anxiety for the future, talking to someone who went through it already helps. i felt like shit for not going to college until a sixty year old man with a doctorate told me it was the biggest waste of time on earth

three, because i refuse to believe most of you have ever spoken to anyone not completely poisoned by tiktok or twitter. touch grass and talk to someone who remembers pay phones

In 2019, I basically lived off of this pumpkin curry recipe I found. Rather than rice, I’d have it like a stew with potatoes and carrots, make a big batch and eat it for days. It was cheap as fuck. A can of store brand coconut milk was $1.79, a can of pumpkin or cubes of squash were about $1.50, a huge russet potato was like $.50, and all the curry spices were like $5 a jar up front and then those last forever.

I went to make that recipe a few weeks ago and the coconut milk was $3.99, the canned pumpkin was $3.99, a single potato cost me $1.29. Spices are like $11 a jar for the store brand, and they never go on sale.

My second go-to for low energy days is Annie’s aged cheddar box Mac, which my store would have for $.79 a box pretty regularly. It’s $1.99 now.

The worst thing is, working at the store, I can see cost info in our handhelds. The cost hasn’t increased ThAT much on our end. This is corporate greed.

In my department, the liquor store, I watch as the *good* bottom-shelf whiskey, Evan Williams White Label (its bottled in bond) retail shelf price increased from $13.99 to $21.99 since 2021. Guess what? Wholesale went from $9.70/unit when purchased as part of a 28 case order to $10.70, the same. The typical markup for alcohol is determined by dividing the unit cost by .7 rounded up, which gives us $13.99 at 9.70 and 15.99 at 10.70. They’re literally going for 110% margin on this item, while simultaneously shaking their fist at me for lower sales in my department.

They’re treating everything like a luxury commodity and have meetings to speculate as to why sales are down on everything.

Can someone in middle grocery management anonymously expose these corporate food robber barons with more of these examples, especially things that are not “luxuries” by any stretch?

I want us to see how much we’re being ripped off, so we can collectively do something about it.
