Solidarity with UPS workers!
The contract deadline is August 1st and a strike has been authorized by 97% of union members. This means if the union cannot get an adequate contract with UPS by then, for things like air conditioning in all trucks, and fair wages for part time employees, they will strike. Part time employees make up about 60% of their workforce and preform backbreaking physical labor for a starting salary of $16 an hour. Starting pay in 1983 when adjusted for inflation was $25 an hour.
UPS handles about 28% of Americas shipping. UPS is already starting to train scabs. Package delivery will shut down across the nation and everyone will feel it. Are you and your community ready to stand in solidarity with them?
Things by mail will come slow if at all, who will this affect the most?
- Small businesses
- People who are housebound
- People who rely on specialty medication deliveries
If you rely on delivered medication, call your provider and check who does the deliveries; if it is UPS check how they are going to handle a possible strike. Even if your medication comes via other contracted delivery companies you need to be prepared for things to come slowly, if UPS is on strike that will put extra pressure on FedEx and USPS. Order as early as you can.
This strike will come on the heels of the joint WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Stand with the unions and put pressure on the companies to make sure writers, actors, and soon UPS workers are fairly compensated and protected on the job. Listen to the unions, don’t boycott unless they call for one. The UPS pilots union has stated that they will stand in solidarity with the UPS Teamsters.
UPS Teamsters United has strike resources
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Newsroom
The Teamsters Twitter updates regularly about the state of negotiations for UPS workers as well as other negotiating and striking workers.
Donate to strike funds if you can and don’t fucking scab.

Customers with Seating Preferences: The Tiers Meme
As a restaurant host, I deal with a lot of customers who are very picky about where they sit. They are annoying, but not all equally annoying. I think that the Tiers Meme format will help me illustrate my point nicely. Text version is under the cut.
Tumblr media
S: People who understand that the food will taste the same no matter where they sit.
A: People who politely inform me of their seating preference immediately upon entering the restaurant.
B: People who politely inform me of their preference while we're walking to their table.
C: People who say they want to sit elsewhere after I've put the menus down.
D: People who say that they don't want to see the server station or the kitchen.
E: People who walk in and say "booth."
F: People who move to a different table when my back is turned.

I have been anorexic since I was 15 or 16. I'm now 22 and my body is refusing to keep up with my restrictive eating habits. I'm starting to experience scary and frankly very dangerous health issues, but at this point I'm terrified to take even the most basic harm reduction measures.
Your body WILL NOT tolerate your disordered eating forever. You WILL get sicker the longer you suffer from this life-ruining disease. Your honeymoon period WILL end, and you will find yourself caught, miserable, in a loveless marriage to your ED.
A 30-year-old body is not as resilient as a 25-year-old body is not as resilient as a 20-year-old body is not as resilient as a teenage body.
Recover.

This one goes out to the dude who had the unmitigated gall to bitch at both me and my boss when we informed him we were on a wait:
Listen, bucko, the world doesn't revolve around you. We're not "behind the ball" just because we're on a wait. We have other guests. Saying "but there are empty tables" doesn't mean we can take you right away. And this happens to be one of the few restaurants where management has the employees' back and doesn't undermine us in front of the customers, so demanding to talk to a manager is gonna get you nowhere.
To quote my BAMF of a boss: if you wanted to eat here THAT badly and be sat right away, make a reservation.

I'm thinking about this really amazing-looking hot cocoa recipe I've been seeing on Tumblr for a while, and how I finally worked up the courage to make it a year or two ago.
I'm thinking about how I made the mistake of going to the notes to see if anyone had any tips for making it, because it's an imprecise recipe, and how I saw a comment from someone bashing the hot chocolate for being unhealthy. Saying no one should be making drinks like that, or else [insert fatphobic catastrophizing here]
Dude, it's fucking hot chocolate. No one is mistaking it for Brussels sprouts. But I had and have a restrictive eating disorder and regularly suffer from brain fog and lightheadedness; the fast-acting simple carbohydrates in the hot chocolate would have probably made me feel much better that night. I think my body would have thanked me.
More importantly, I needed the comfort and contentment that a nice warm cup of cocoa would have given me. But that one comment I saw tainted the entire recipe for me. I didn't make it then and I haven't made it since.
If I were actively working to recover, I'd have a much better chance of setting the food-shaming aside and reassuring myself that there is nothing wrong with enjoying a comforting treat. But I was, and still am, in a delicate and vulnerable headspace. And I know—trust me, I know—it's a very small thing. I don't like that a single Internet stranger had such an impact on me, and that it bothers me to this day.
But they did, and it does.
Your words can affect people more than you know. What may seem like an offhand comment to you can harm others. You never know what someone is struggling with, and even if they don't have an eating disorder, shaming their diet, lifestyle, health, or body is not okay and may hurt them more deeply than you realize.
It's not your business how other people eat, what they look like, or what their health status may or may not be. Stay out of their lives and exhibit the basic human decency of allowing them to make their own choices. They didn't ask for your opinion.
