It’s really annoying that we realize children need a summer break and several vacations a year because they attend school, but we think it makes sense for adults to work 40 hours a week all year and probably get 2–3 weeks off in a whole year if you’re lucky.

Hot take: Pizza Hut could launch a BOOK IT for adults and raise the American literacy rate by full percentage points

percy if he never ate those vitamins

Maybe it’s not the Sunday scaries…maybe it’s just the dread of a 40 hour 9-5pm workweek designed a 100 years ago that no longer makes sense

"Where do you see yourself in 40 years?" me:

and this is why I realize it’s so hard for a lot of women to “wake up” to our reality in this world because with that realization comes a shit ton of grief once your eyes are open it’s clear to see everywhere in every man even the ones that seem to love you

I don’t care if someone works in an office, a warehouse, a restaurant, or cleans floors. If you give 40 hours of your life every week, you should be able to pay rent, buy groceries, cover your bills, and still have enough left to breathe a little. That shouldn’t be some dream. It should be normal. The fact that so many people work full-time and still live stressed, behind, and one emergency away from disaster tells you this system is failing the people who keep it running.

“Are you free after work?” me after work:

my favorite trope is when someone believes they're hard to love and someone who loves them like it's breathing.

Your partner actually LIKING you as a friend is important. Romantic love is not enough.

can't believe it's almost may. time flies when you work every day of your fucking life

Covid showed us we could slow down, work different, care for each other, rethink everything. We had one rare chance to build a life that was less cruel, less exhausting, less centered around grinding people into dust. Instead we sprinted right back into burnout, greed, higher costs, worse mental health, and pretending this is normal. That’s what makes me angry. We learned nothing.

how i'll be removing myself from conversations from now on

You know what I’d love to see??? A reality show where millionaire CEOs are required to live off their lowest paid employees salary for 1 month.

I was surprised when I found out e-transfer is solely a Canadian thing Y’all are missing out, it’s super convenient
