God I love that tumblr dish washer post. I've worked for Claudios and I adore that kind of logistical thinking.
There is no unskilled labor, only misunderstood labor.
through another decluttering phase again so we don't have to dig them all out of the dumpster like last time."
that right there is the door to the weird little room with all the very important bits and bobs that we need when it all falls apart after a power outage. Margie in accounting has the passwords and the keys to the room taped to the underside of her desk. We locked them in there in case the CEO goes
I have never met a good professor who didn't talk profusely about how much they learn FROM their students. If AI can sub in for that back and forth knowledge expansion, you're doing it wrong.
And apprenticeships offer the opportunity for all the casual nuggets of genius in the "oh & as we pass it,
The back of the street sign with a bunch of stickers on it. One says you GOLF. Of . Mexico. You can’t see it, but just out of frame the best taco truck in the neighborhood is serving up tacos to a giant line of people. Get the Pastor. They’ll try to give you the red salsa, but ask for the verde it’s better.
I had this one. Which still makes me laugh.
A sticker in the street light with a brick wall in the background that says “NO NATTER YOUR POLITICS, YOU CAN AGREE THAT A MAN ACCUSED OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT, BRIBERY, ELDER ABUSE, AND GOVERNMENT MISSPENDING SHOULDN'T BE OUR MAYOR. DON'T RANK ANDREW CUOMO FOR NYC MAYOR. FOR CHANGE FOR CHANGE
Walking home and decided to put up some stickers and pulled out these moldy oldies. My God this has been a long year.
I’ve had some bad tile contractors but that’s next level. I admire your restraint in walking out.
Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor.
The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

With his first ever health insurance, the marines gave him heart surgery, then trained him as a translator at a negotiating post in the Balkans. He told me that a bunch of people at European posts were allergic to regular US mess food, and in Europe, food was mostly fresh and local. He finished his
I imagine it would be like a friend of mine who joined marines, passed basic training just fine, then started having pretty major cardiac issues. The electrolyte seesawing and shelf stable MREs he ate during an extended training exercise in the desert exposed a genetic heart condition.
Senator Wyden can’t say it plainly without losing his security clearance, but this raises the alarm that Kash & crew have decided they can illegally surveil Americans without a warrant.
The Roma and Sinti people were among the first interned by Nazis because they said they were innately asocial and criminal and thus, judges and trials were not necessary.
This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline.
A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.
To understand what I'm getting at about too many there's a good interactive game called the Parable of the Polygons that gets at this.

Thank you. Please explain the airplane thing to the people. We are in peril without diligent eyeball glue.
You probably need this. Hyper vigilance is exhausting. We are going outside today.
Remember: the news cycle is not an airplane in a bumpy sky: you don’t have to hold the wings on with your eyeballs.
(If you try to explain to me this is not how airplanes work, immediate block.)

“Windfall” is doing a lot of work here. Headlines matter.
75 billion stolen from food, medicine and science for a fascist eugenics project is accurate.
When we’ve been out doing KYR canvassing, the relentlessly increasing precarity is what’s driving people’s stress and anxiety. TPS threats, SNAP cuts, ICE raids, gas prices ….
A small remedy is more community connection: mutual aid networks & tenant unions make people feel less alone in all this.
Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com In these days of sorrow, fear, and unwavering hope in God, I feel closer than ever to the beloved people of Lebanon. The principle of humanity, inscribed in the conscience of every person and recognized in international law, entails a moral obligation to protect the civilian population from the horrific effects of war. I call on the parties in the conflict to declare a ceasefire and urgently seek a peaceful solution. 7:00 AM • 4/12/26 • 75K Views

Well done! Where is that perfect breakfast?
It reminds me of a place somewhere if San Francisco in the 90s that made what they called “unfussy brunch”. The menu read “eggs the way you want them. potatoes. Good bread.” And they put Tajín on the rim of all drinks with watermelon juice and it was A+.
Can you find out what Emma Y’s mom signal handle is because I think I know who she is and if so, she’ll be at the Palestine vigil and then you two can bring her the whistles for the afternoon KYR workshop and then take the subway when you go thrifting and save me a trip and we can have real dinner.
