if I had a nickel for every friend’s ex who left me on their close friends stories, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

My (older) coworker and boss are both out of office this week and trying to get them to log off and believe that I and the rest of the team has got it handled feels like a teen assuring a parent they know where the pizza money is during date night

I finally defeated the wasps to take the trash out and there were two VERY barky dogs in my yard (off leash) that were not happy to see me 🥴🥴

I *just* realized that I didn’t start going by okie, use they/them pronouns, or cut my hair this short until post twitter. I wonder how many of my moots have no clue we were also twitter moots lol oops

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

When my car was totaled in a hit and run while at a stoplight, the person who hit me *pulled over half a mile away* and the police did nothing until they drove off. They actively admitted that to me. They didn’t even take down their plates or check the traffic cams.

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

I replaced my phone battery like two months ago and we’re already back to dropping 50 percentage points from an hour of Spotify usage 🥴
