Stuff for adults to argue over that the students will never notice cuz they’re looking at their phones

Still better than the “supporting a family by being shift lead at taco bell” situation that exists in every fast food franchise in America. Basically being on-call 24/7 for $45k/yr

Haha I remember this, I was still in high school. My girlfriend’s (boilerplate conservatives) parents were complaining about wasteful government spending and my dad said, “yeah can you believe how much they’ve spent on the Reagan funeral tour?” Shockingly, they didn’t agree

tired of sharing a planet with dumb, angry, selfish people. Tired of hearing their awful opinions in my head

There was also a Portuguese(?) ambassador who gave a first hand account that pretty much disproves the “accepted narrative” but I’m not looking up sources on my lunch break

Damn, she’s getting the “head of state visit” treatment

“we’re keeping Kuya Bert, but you can have Gary, that guy fucking sucks”

I follow a twitch streamer who is from Ukraine; I knew he fled the country at the start, but didn’t know where he ended up. Recently learned he made it to Canada and has been streaming a lot since he can’t legally work. Happy for him

I think about the ethnic enclaves that immigrant communities made in the US as the opposite of atomization. People brought together due to circumstance who develop a system of support to watch each other’s kids, cook for another during illness, help each other get jobs. Really just the basic concept of community. America is designed to dismantle that stuff. Some of those immigrants’ kids acculturate and assimilate and “move up” in society to be lonely suburb dwellers with more material wealth than their parents, but none of the community.

When I worked/lived in the East Bay in a very working class, diverse neighborhood, the Abuelas would check in on everyone constantly. At least once a week, they’d knock on my door to make sure I’d eaten that day.

I’m sorry
