By analyzing the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, CAP found that in 2022, union households held $338,482 in median wealth. Meanwhile, nonunion households had $199,948. Being in a union also substantially chips away at racial and educational wealth gaps, per CAP's analysis. Black, nonunion households have a median household wealth of $61,500; meanwhile, Black union households hold around $164,6000 in median household wealth. Black workers are also more likely than workers of other races to be in a union, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with their union membership rates outpacing their white, Asian, and Hispanic counterparts. Unions particularly pay off for workers without a high school degree and again seem to be bridging educational wealth gaps, per the data. The median wealth of union members without a high school degree is over three times that of nonunion workers without a high school degree — $69,510 compared to $22,800 respectively.
Unions work, Unionize.
This. Encourage self advocation, don't glamorize 'the grind'. Unions really are there to help you and keep the overlords in check :)

miss swift you are not a tortured poet you are a billionaire
you cannot be a "tortured artist" if you are ultrawealthy, true tortured artists live paycheck to paycheck at a garbage job they hate
The only things shes torturing are retail workers and the environment

Speaking of willows. There's a species of willow. Salix herbacea. Known as the Dwarf Willow. And this thing. IT ONLY GROWS 1-6 CENTIMETERS TALL. IT'S KNOWN AS "ONE OF THE SMALLEST WOODY PLANTS" BECAUSE ITS A TREE THAT DECIDED TO BE 1 CENTIMETER HEIGHT
just look at it. incredible
It lives waaaay up in the Arctic. There's actually a bunch of willows that evolved to be tiny in the Arctic regions. but this one is the most tiny

ID: A tweet by olive @/slimelevel that says, “hate to do this but i found some microfiction on lex.” The tweet includes a screenshot with dark text on a neon blue background. It reads, “Doored! Outside the Owl: oh pretty pink haired afab(?) enby— maybe my window tint is too dark, maybe you shouldn’t have been texting and biking? sry [sic] i didn’t have time to stop and chat, h.m.u. i’ll gently brush the gravel off those collarbones tomorrow.” It is categorized with “Yesterday” and “Missed Connection.”
Olive says in a response to the original post, “missed connection: i hit you with my car door. you had pussy from birth vibes.” End ID.

EXCUSE ME THERE IS A PLANT THAT CAN MIMIC FAKE PLANTS?????
IT'S CALLED A BOQUILA TRIOFOLIOLATA AND IT'S FUCKING WITH MY BRAIN
IT APPARENTLY CAN MIMIC OTHER PLANTS AND AT FIRST I WAS LIKE "oh cool man it must take it's genetic code and copy it or feel the roots or something like that!! :3"
AND THEN I READ AN ARTICLE ON IT AND THESE FUCKING PARAGRAPHS HIT ME LIKE A BUS
LIKE READ THIS SHIT
WHAT THE FUCK MOTHER NATURE
I went to find the article. It's fascinating.
In retrospect, consider the number 1 thing every grade-schooler knows about plants is they take in light, the idea they might be able to see should not wreck my shit as hard as it does

Hast thou thy morning meds consumed?
Off with ye, then, and do so! (And also should’st thou some water imbibe.)
And thine evening medications, as well?
Hast thou taken them? If not, and if it be at or past the time for thy medicines, I urge thee to take them in a timely manner, as well.
Art thou avoiding (as thou canst) those activities which exacerbate thine infirmities, and engaging in those (again, as thou canst) beneficial to thyself? Please, I urge thee to care for thyself.
