My boss is going to be so mad about all of the current Virginia laws I very easily searched for online & printed & made pamphlets & highlighted & wrote notes on & alerted my coworkers to & left at work for everyone to look through because they are all laws he’s broken. Sup baby!

For real though, a lot of sewage went in the James just this weekend, this week, and there’s a combined sewage overflow event because of todays flooding—the James being our primary water source, how safe is our tap water right now?! Do we worry? uuuuugh please calm my ass down!

Today a man told me “no one wants to work! That’s the problem! A friend asked to borrow $50 so I asked him to come work with me for 8 hours to put money in his pocket! I offered him $60 for the 8 hours and he said he’d rather stay at home!”
No shit dude! $60 for 8 hrs labor? No

I have a possum now. Animal Control just stopped by to see if he’s going to make it and after a physical/behavioral checkup, they are confident that he’s just stunned and needed a safe place to rest. He chose my porch and this box I put out for the cats for his rest. I am honored

Yay, the roommate who has been such a source of stress and drama this past year (extra awful these past few months) moved out. A few days ago she barricaded the door to prevent my walking away & screamed at me, calling me stupid & delusional bc I asked her to get trash bags. Bye!

Fixed my sweatshorts tan line by laying out on my back porch for the 1st time in 6 yrs living in this apt. Neighbor across the alley shouted “YEAH GIRL!!” & it felt empowering in the way “Fat James”(old downstairs neighbor) used to boost me up. Miss him every day. RIP James Sr.

I’ve been obsessed with my cat for 15 entire years including these past few months when she started meowing in my ear 2 hours before my alarm goes off. I respect her audacity. She’s a go getter!
This month marks our 15th anniversary and I love her more & more every single day.

I’ve gained a little weight since I started my job because A)I have access to an abundance of lightly expired food for free & B) I can afford to eat, even if I can’t afford to eat exactly what I want. I’m not mad to see the change, I’m glad that I’m no longer hungry all the time.

And that is why he is renovating a rental apartment alone. Not because no one wants to work, but because he’s offering $60 for 8 hours of labor, insultingly far below the minimum wage. Reframe your thinking, dear sir, and your eyes will begin to see the truth as clear as day.

I brushed my cat for so long this morning, she was in a state of bliss. I love her. I cooked an egg and heated up leftover chicken and shared the cooked yolk and bits of chicken with her. I love her, I do. I’ll give her a cat-gurt (her fav meat purée) soon. I celebrate my Lemmy.

Last night I was able to kiss my cat’s precious face at midnight and begin this new year with my girl. I was worried she wouldn’t make it to her 16th birthday in June, and she was diagnosed with inoperable terminal cancer in July. But here we are in January 2024, still together❤️

A woman cried in the shop bc I gave her 2 big bags of food, a spot to sit & WiFi to call & secure warm shelter tonight. It should be the norm to share warmth/resources. It shouldn’t make her cry. Shouldn’t, but it did. “Lingering” in warmth should be encouraged, not punished.

I’m a little spicy this morning! My boss called to ask if anyone I know is looking for work and I straight up told him I don’t know anyone who can survive on minimum wage so they’d need to know they were getting raises and when. We’ll see how this plays out. Who knows

I handed him the packet including the pay transparency law, reminding him again that it is illegal to tell workers they cannot discuss wages, to which he replied “it is my policy, that is your opinion but that is my policy” to which I replied “it is the law” and read it to him.

It feels embarrassing, shameful to talk about being broke as often as I do, but I remind myself (every time I do) that anyone who might consider me a “loser” is: so rude, classist, & wildly out of touch with how laborious many low wage jobs are/impossible to get ahead as a result
