2023/05/17

What's up with wages? Seriously, what's up with wages? Like, have you ever noticed how the jobs that pay the least per hour also tend to be the most taxing and degrading kinds of labor? Or how charging more money/having higher wages makes people like and respect you more as a human being?

One time I met a guy who got paid 70k to follow the CEO around and tell him

Literally as we write this, Italy has recently entered a second Lockdown due to COVID-19 variants. We talk about where we were on Friday the 13th of March 2020, and all the pleasurable things about life we are missing and

What do NXVIM, Scientology, Woody Allen, Michael Haneke's 'Funny Games', Onision (aka the "I'm a banana" guy), white fragility, our ex-boyfriends, flat earthers, and capitalism have in common?
