talking to preschoolers is awesome bc they have not fully differentiated stories into 'true stories' and 'imaginary stories' yet so you will tell them about something that happened you once (coyote came out of a bush right in front of you and got startled) and they will tell you about how one time their house was full of coyotes in every room 'including five in the garage' and they're not even like, aware i think of the idea that they are technically 'lying'. they are simply telling stories about coyotes bc its time to tell stories about coyotes.

I feel like a good shorthand for a lot of economics arguments is "if you want people to work minimum wage jobs in your city, you need to allow minimum wage apartments for them to live in."
"These jobs are just for teenagers on the weekends." Okay, so you'll use minimum wage services only on the weekends and after school. No McDonald's or Starbucks on your lunch break.
"They can get a roommate." For a one bedroom? A roommate for a one bedroom? Or a studio? Do you have a roommate to get a middle-wage apartment for your middle-wage job? No? Why should they?
"They can live farther from city center and just commute." Are there ways for them to commute that don't equate to that rent? Living in an outer borough might work in NYC, where public transport is a flat rate, but a city in Texas requires a car. Does the money saved in rent equal the money spent on the car loan, the insurance, the gas? Remember, if you want people to take the bus or a bike, the bus needs to be reliable and the bike lanes survivable.
If you want minimum wage workers to be around for you to rely on, then those minimum wage workers need a place to stay.
You either raise the minimum wage, or you drop the rent. There's only so long you can keep rents high and wages low before your workforce leaves for cheaper pastures.
"Nobody wants to work anymore" doesn't hold water if the reason nobody applies is because the commute is impossible at the wage you provide.
twitter is trying to cancel chappell roan for saying she refuses to perform at the white house while she is willingly performing in red states and i wish i could hit these people with a book on the head looney toons style so maybe they’d actually understand what she not only said but can start fathoming the concept of queer people existing in red states and being targeted by these bills.
like you’re not woke for refusing to actually acknowledge the people who are forced to live in state that those bills actually affect while you’re safe living in NYC or california. chappell is from missouri and is a midwestern princess for a reason. she’s giving queer people a safe place to be open and themselves for one night and let them have a community where they need it most. i’d love for chappell to come back to san diego and perform but me going to a chappell concert means something different than it does someone who lives in a red state.
just fuck off and actually start to understand politics or stfu! chappell calling out the white house directly was one of the bravest things a celebrity has done in awhile and we’re so lucky to have her.
One of the most anti-immersive things about the Sims 4 is that the townies can pretty much just be little shell people walking around doing nothing, having no personality, etc etc. So, I've developed a small obsession with mods that improve townie realism, automatically assign them personality features, and/or fix their strange outfit choices. I thought I'd take a minute to share my list so far with you, and I hope you'll find these mods as useful as I have!

Thinking abt Muna’s tiny desk concert <3
annie lennox calling for a ceasefire during the grammys but being completely overshadowed by taylor swift announcing the release of some new songs is like an onion headline except it actually happened
