This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.

god damn

Ten years. Ten years I’ve been seeing this wonderful art piece, and STILL our minimum wage REMAINS at 7.25/hour.

Meanwhile, the cost of living has easily tripled.

And minimum wage wasn’t enough to cover it even before.

five recipes for an exciting life (in my opinion)

  1. spending enough time creating things with your hands (baking, drawing, scrapbooking, doodling, crocheting, journaling and so on)
  2. keeping track of things like pretty skies, milestones, happy memories, appointments you're looking forward to
  3. listening to music that genuinely makes you feel happy and energetic
  4. making a habit of reaching out to people in a way that's comfortable to you (i send my dad songs he might like, my friend sends me monthly life updates)
  5. being kind to all your five senses → like investing in a scented candle or essential oil dispenser or body mist, having a soft blanket or socks (or a soft animal to pet), listening to birdsong or the rain, looking at the sky more often, and having your favorite foods enough times

Please help my Trans friend, B, get her car back!!

The dealership she got her used car from a few months ago just let her know that she actually owed more than what she thought for each payment and towed her car. (supposedly they tried to contact her about it but she never got the letter)

She had to raise $3000 in two weeks and she still needs $1000 in the next few days just to get her car back. That's not including the insurance she'll have to get put back on it and the fee they're charging her for the tow truck, but right now we're just focusing on getting that $1000 to get the car back.

Her cashapp is $xxxvioletxxx

She is a really wonderful person and is having a really rough time dealing with this right now and could really use our help!
