the way that white travel & food writers write about 'aswaq is so eyes-rolling-into-the-back-of-your-head stupid

My host takes me into the narrow, winding, crowded corridors of the supermarket, holding my hand tightly to ensure that I'm not lost among the sounds, the smells, and the vibrant, rich, exotic colors of the brightly lit aisles. A necessary precaution, it turns out, as things demand my attention from all sides: the white, tiled, slightly dirty floors, the narrow passageways occasionally made narrower by boxes of produce yet to be shelved, and the wrenching and shoving from people pushing through to their various inscrutable destinations. People in jeans, hoodies, and light jackets inspect produce and reject or accept it for mysterious reasons. The occasional employee pulls boxes out of a damp, dark, dank storage room and then pushes them about on a palette cart that has been painted a lush blue.

At the butcher station, a young man with a sharp knife actually carves into animal carcasses before buyers' eyes as they shout their desired cuts at him: such unusual, surprising choices as "deli sliced" or "hank." The aroma of raw flesh combines with the waftings of the bakery nearby to produce a confusing, enticing, almost erotic sensory jumble.

This is where the European goes to buy his food, to socialize, to argue, and, when a sample counter appears somewhere among the well-trodden paths, even to eat.

“if you’re working a full time job you should be able to afford to live on your own and have access to food and transportation” gonna be real with you brother. everyone deserves this. Not just people working 40 hrs a week

people inherently deserve to have a roof over their heads and to eat and live comfortably. not tied to whatever work they do or do not do. Shocking, i know

Okay but these fucking dudes are trying hard to reach an audience and I respect the fuck out of them for it. 12/10 sanitation department of New York City.

I was prepared to cringe but I think this was good

These guys at NYC Sanitation are paid 150k a year and retire on 125k a year pensions til they die......

And they should. God bless them

Salary of public sanitation workers should be more than the salary of any politician

They don’t get those figures until they old af and in certain positions but also like bruh of any job to pay peolle nsane mkney this is a flex

Sanitation is one of the most dangerous jobs out there, and one of the core reasons we have eliminated or diminished many illnesses. Sanitation workers deserve their weight in gold.

Doctors cure individuals of diseases

Sanitation workers protect *entire cities* from diseases

If you genuinely believe that sanitation workers don't deserve to be well paid, you might need to take a good hard look at your internalized classism

people are way too comfortable being dismissive of children and teenagers. if a toddler comes up to you and starts explaining skibidi toilet lore or if a 13 year old asks you if you want to hear about their mha ocs you have to listen with utmost sincerity or at least pretend to. this is the only way you will get into heaven.

genuinely depressing how people will dismiss the interests kids have because all it does is make them retreat into shame and never want to talk to you about anything again
