Hey, just an aside - please don’t feel like you have to follow me because I followed you - you don’t, this isn’t a trade.
That’s it. I could probably discuss more about why I “follow” people1️⃣, but that’s just really subtext.

This story brought me back to Kara, one of the mothers in my book, There Is No Place for Us. She was homeless with her four kids while driving for DoorDash. They had to pee in bottles so bathroom stops wouldn't make her late.
After gas, she earned $6.50 an hour—75 cents less than the minimum wage.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor.
This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why.
Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.
In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

They warned us Mamdani would impose Sharia law. Instead, he unleashed the real threat: line dancing in Bryant Park.

Does anyone want to buy a ring 💍?
I have bills to pay, I was told they got it for $1,200. But honestly, $500 + shipping and handling would be enough for this.
It’s made with silver and lab amethyst.
I’ll accept PayPal or cashapp.
Please dm me, I don’t want my utilities to shut off on me.

So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST.
The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.

What a surprise, the organizers of the covid cautious dyke bar hated the article, rejected its framing, and is defending their covid cautious patrons and performers. Anyone who joined in on the viral harassment campaign started by Jesse Singal wanna say oops or…?
