Over the past few decades, work for many salaried employees has ballooned far beyond 40 hours a week, thanks to a combination of weakened labor laws and technology that allows bosses to reach workers at any time of the day or night. At the same time, low-wage and hourly workers are frequently subject to unpredictable schedules that can change at a moment’s notice, and may not give them enough hours of paid work to live on. Today’s work schedules, with their combination of “overwork and then no work,” in many ways mirror the conditions that preceded the reforms of the 1930s.

Just a little reminder that you can change your whole life in 1 day with 1 decision. You can decide to move out of town, to start going to the gym, to finally talk to that person, apply for a new job, take up a new hobby. The littlest action can change the trajectory of your life. If you’re feeling stuck, just do one new thing and see where it takes you.

“This is a place where “wind-stunted shrubs and stooped trees leaned gratefully against five-foot tall graffiti commands to defy the state. Where old women sat on stoeps in faded house-dresses saying terrible things about their neighbours one day and weeping like hired Greek mourners at their funerals the next.””

yknow what’s honestly fucking weird?

my mum is complaining about my or other girls “indecent clothes” claiming “this is not what feminism was about in the 70s”

in turn, in the 70s, when my mum was young, my grandma would complain about her wearing pants and having a wild wavy unstyled mountain of hair

my grandma, in her day, got complaints from older local women about her skirts being too short (aka knee length)

hell, women born in 1880 or earlier would complain about younger women in the 1920s dressing too revealingly

like you’d think we would have learned to break the cycle and stop shaming younger generations of women for their appearance at this point
