iāve lived in both the South and the North throughout my life and while i donāt use it frequently, i will say Southerners really went off with this one. itās even meaner when said to a non-Southerner who doesnāt know what it meansā¦ THE backhanded compliment of all time

š¾āhug my neckā haunts me always. lovingly. just pops in my head: a hug, but not just anywhere, hug the neck, which irl can be anywhere without question, but the invitation is always as such

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERāS 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. š„³
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 donāt have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIOās page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. thereās always more power in a union!! āš„š¹
