they were training the british tsa that day and bc i got to the airport so early, pulled me aside for the training line but in doing so one tsa agent had directed me to the training line and the other to his own line and the two literally ARGUED about where i was supposed to go š
then in the training line, i set something off so they had to swab my hands and pat me down. and as if that wasnāt enough, they had someone in training not very supervised search my bag. she emptied ALL the pockets in my backpack, thoroughly swabbing inside each of them. people were staring!!! and when she turned to her supervisor asking if that was good he told her it was āmore than enoughā
then i had to face the chaos of the terminalās waiting area which has a weird layout and not enough seats. i was dealing w a recent painful knee injury, but they only told you your gate 15-20 minutes ahead and i was worried iād miss my flight so i had to go to my airlineās help desk and ask about it. it turns out they already know all the gates anyways they just donāt tell people ??? then on the flight there was a baby who scream-cried the entire time whose mom did little to help them. which is not heathrowās fault but was the cherry on top

I love airports because they bring two of my favorite things together under one roof: people watching and āliminal spaces.ā The lounge access is also a plus, though they really do be letting anyone in these days.

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

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
