They also posted up at a bus stop and out open until 2am. Meaning people waiting for a bud stop are not longer waiting alone in the dark. There’s a noticiable air of camaraderie, safety and enthusiasm.

Street vendors did more for our neighborhood than the city ever did.

[Vanessa Guerrero @nessguerrero]

More of the neighborhood is meeting each other waiting in line for nearby tacos. I met people three houses down I didn’t know. It feels like we’re all only now getting to know each other, over a torta and some soda.

[Vanessa Guerrero @nessguerrero]

In general Street food vendors on a block means more pedestrian foot traffic round the clock, if they’re open late, that’s more eyes in a neighborhood. Additionally in an area with many dark empty storefronts, literally adds light and vitality to the area.

[Vanessa Guerrero @nessguerrero]

Living in LA, I’ve lived in many a neighborhood in which police helicopters circle all day and they don’t do anything except be loud an annoying.

You know what improved the morale and safety of my neighborhood in less than two weeks?

A new taco stand. I’m 1000% serious.

@lenubienne "We'd like to give you the opportunity to..." does this "opportunity" mean more work/responsibility for me without an increase in pay?If the answer is yes I don't want that "opportunity"

@lenubienne @thetrudz I was asked to translate at a meeting I was not even supposed to be in. A kid’s IEP meeting, sensitive stuff. First of all I am not even completely fluent, second of all, I’m a teacher’s assistant who does not make a living wage. Hell no.

[student of knowledge @404BSOD]

@lenubienne You made him proud.

[cunning linguist 🍉 @vulvasaur_]

@lenubienne also there's a huge difference between being fluent in two languages and being trained to translate between those two languages! unilingual ppl seem to think if you can understand you can translate/interpret but it isn't that easy

@handsomemollie @mekosoff Yes, it does

@TheSpiritualAr2 @DuchessSexpert I remember reading this thing about humans:animals::fae:humans (pic below) - and I just imagine this fox as an adventurer into another realm. Glad you both stayed safe!

@SNeurotypicals Actually, I think I was 5, not 3. Sorry for the misinformation!

[Polleke/Cinder (they/them) @CindersSpot]

@SNeurotypicals As a 3yo child I demanded to listen to the same album every day. I and my parents can still sing along to every song.

[Kwizach Haderzach @ombranox]

@NannerNeff No-one with a song that good is a hero.

Some of the side effects of ADHD medication seem specifically designed to mess with people with ADHD:
- don't feel hunger very much (we already forget to eat)
- keeps you awake (we already struggle with sleep)

…structural iron & steel workers; and delivery & truck drivers.

BUT many in these professions lack the union protections and benefits that cops get, and many definitely get paid wayyy less than cops. But making policing sound like the most dangerous, deadly job is important…

[All Valley Everything @allvalleypod]

according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2020, the jobs w the highest fatal work injury rates per 100,000 workers were: fishing & hunting workers; loggers; roofers; helpers, construction trades; aircraft pilots & flight engineers; refuse & recyclable material collectors…

[All Valley Everything @allvalleypod]

Time to bust another police myth! Cops constantly talk up the dangers of the job (the thin blue line & putting their lives on the line from a “dangerous criminal element”). Truth is that being a cop is NOT EVEN in the top 8 most dangerous jobs. Let’s highlight the ones that are:

[Ben Rosen @ben_rosen]

listen, there are responsible gun owners who just enjoying hunting and I want to make it clear that I don’t care at all and they can find literally any other hobby
