my blog is a safe space for anyone who’s written “sorry :(” on a math test before

We really used to ask teachers if we could drink water.......what the fuck was that

Or to use the bathroom and they really said "no❤️"

I always think about the way they came down on me for holding my pencil wrong, even though thatade my handwriting better, felt natural and wasn't hurting nobody.

- A luxury you can’t live without? - A luxury I can’t live without? Coffee. I really like good coffee. - That’s not a luxury, you can get it anywhere. - …I like nice socks?

[id: gifs of larry king interviewing danny pudi. larry says, “that’s not a luxury, though. coffee and socks are not a luxury. danny says, “alright, give me a luxury. which - … what luxury should i have?“larry says, “a private plane.” danny says, a bit incredulously, “…. larry, i’m on ducktales.” end id]

Bear witness to the disconnect between a Boomer’s idea of luxury and a Millennial’s.

not to be reformist but i just realized requiring employers to treat a commute as time on the job would probably make american cities profoundly more habitable

I am having trouble understanding. Can you, or someone else who knows more about this please provide further explanation?

if employers were paying for commute time (as is standard in several countries), spending less time commuting would be incentivized. cities would be more compact and take less time to traverse than across urban sprawl. i also interpreted it to mean that cities would also have more diverse transportation infrastructure, instead of the heavily-trafficked slog of the freeway. efficient public transport, walkability, etc.

not only that, but employers would have an incentive to do things like putting money/support behind lowering housing costs in core areas (or paying wages that enable employees to afford rent in core areas), or moving operations to areas with low-cost housing and putting their money/support behind building infrastructure to support their operations (high-speed internet, etc).

companies (in general) don’t do shit unless they can see a clear benefit to their bottom line. if they had to pay for commutes, suddenly a lot of things they don’t currently care about (or actively fight against because it would involve raising municipal taxes) would become of benefit to them.

consider this: being fat and chubby is ok and good
