Rest in peace to my favorite uncle; have my favorite excerpt from a book he gave me in high school that’s a transcript of a David Foster Wallace speech.

In his honor please go find something to sacrifice for in an unsexy way today, and also give your loved ones a hug.

Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.

So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.

Not me, but @bitchesgetriches has a lot of great resources for many of these topics on their website.

My favorite category of government program to run across is "program you've never heard of doing extremely important work to solve a major problem which you have also never heard of." On that note, the US drops millions of pounds of sterile bugs over Panama each week in order to prevent a parasite infestation from moving into North America. Everyone say thank you to the Panama-United States Commission for the Eradication and Prevention of the Cattle Borer Worm (COPEG)

This program had its funding cut during the DOGE cuts last year and now the parasitic worm they were trying to slow the spread of has officially arrived in the United States.

George Tiller was murdered 13 years ago today (May 31 2022)

People noting this anniversary reminding me again that it is such an insane failure of the pro-choice movement that we do not as a nation think of George Tiller as a civil rights hero and additionally a martyr at the level of MLK Jr. or a Kennedy. So, you know, do your part, etc.

Mamdani Administration Secures Nearly $2M in Restitution for 800+ Fast-Food and Retail Workers

[reasonsforhope]

^^via The Official Website of the City of New York, March 24, 2026. More from the article below.

What you should know

Mamdani administration has secured more than $8.5M in restitution since taking office 

[Note: To be clear, that's just between January 2026 and March 2026.]

...over YouTube Live while eating a Crunchwrap Supreme, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani announced the filing of an enforcement petition against QSR Management LLC, a Dunkin’ franchisee that operates locations in Staten Island, seeking monetary relief for workers and civil penalties. The petition alleges that QSR Management LLC and managing corporate officer Ronny Nader violated the rights of approximately 1,000 workers under the Fair Workweek Law and Protected Time Off Law. The Mamdani Administration also announced settlements with two companies that will provide more than 830 workers with more than $1.8 million to resolve violations of the Fair Workweek Law. In addition to restitution, Dunkin’ & Taco Bell franchisee Salz Management LLC and premium fashion retailer Theory will pay more than $176,000 in civil penalties and costs... “Today’s settlements are about more than financial compensation for working New Yorkers —though that relief matters. At their core, these actions are about restoring dignity on the job. Every worker deserves a predictable schedule — something stable enough to plan a life around, to care for family, to show up for the people who depend on them,” said Mayor Mamdani. “This city will not tolerate any corporation or franchisee that violates our Fair Workweek laws, or any of the labor protections that workers fought for and won. We will keep enforcing those laws, so that every New Yorker knows their rights and can count on this city to defend them.” ... The Mamdani Administration is urging all workers who believe their rights have been violated to file a complaint by visiting nyc.gov/workers or by calling 311. Since Jan. 1, 2026, the Administration has secured more than $8.5 million in restitution for New York City workers, including more than $500,000 for freelancers ripped off by production company Splashlight and nearly $5 million for Uber Eats, Fantuan and HungryPanda delivery workers.

Note: I added these as images so that they can be saved and shared more easily; full transcript of each image in its alt.

If you want to file a complaint, as quoted from the press release:

Workers and employers can visit nyc.gov/workers or call 311 for more information or to file a complaint. Complaints may be filed anonymously, and retaliation is illegal.

Best kind of dynamic two characters can have is when they’re close friends but sometimes jerk each other off as like bonding and it’s not sexual and it’s certainly not romantic theyre just homies helping each other out yknow they’re FRIENDS it’s not weird to get your friend off when he really needs it and maybe they both feel something about it but it’s *platonic*

[jejunumb]

I support close male friendships but only if one of them is choking and whimpering around the other one’s cock .

Having a real fucking tough time not reverting back to my teens/early 20s body image issues rn for some fucking reason (I know the reason it’s because my job went to SHIT three weeks ago and I finished digging myself out of the grave I was thrown into literally TODAY so I’ve been working extra hours at my DESK JOB and I’m about to start my fucking period so I’m just bloated and nitpicky and fidnsjsksndjssjznxdjfj)

Gritting my teeth and reminding myself that 5’7 and 175 lbs is, not only a healthy weight that no doctor has ever remotely batted an eye at, but also a weight that involves me carrying around a fuckton of muscle to do things like shove around hay bales and wheelbarrows full of horse shit, which I need to do—which I love to do. And the very brief period where I was in the low 150s in early COVID was because I had no goddamn muscle and was working my ass off and shredding ALL of my joints in the process.

No woman who works on a farm has ever had a model’s figure, and anyone who claims to is not actually working on the farm, they’re just playing at it.
