especially if you can’t afford going on a trip it’s fun to sprinkle in PTO days to just hang out and try new things/go places when they won’t be as crowded as on the weekend

✍️If you have a job with paid vacation days, or the means to take a random day off, I really recommend taking a random Wednesday from time to time to just clear the decks and do your art thing all day (or sports thing or whatever you care about more than your job!) I used to hoard my vacation days and only take a full week at a time, but I find a Big Wednesday can do a lot for me, especially in the winter.
Sure, a Friday or Monday are also great, but for me I love knowing I only have two days of slog on either side of that golden Wed!

🌀why would you wait until the weekend to do something fun and spontaneous? I am a huge proponent of doing something fun on a weekday. like fuck it - ya know. life is too short to only look forward to the weekends.

🤓being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
