back when i basically was only doing things on weekends, i think it subconsciously made me feel like… weekdays are ONLY work and weekends are only fun. so then the majority of my week was Work Days. which is technically true still but planning things on weeknights (both solo stuff like a class or self-care thing, and social things) make me feel like i’m reclaiming the free time i do have on my weekdays lol. rather than just going home and blanking out. my job is stressful so i def do need days to just do that but since i started intentionally making plans throughout the week instead of just fri-sun it has made a difference for feeling like my life is less absorbed by my job

having my weekends be monday-wednesday has done wonders for me!! yes you miss out on some weekend festivities BUT it means that your days off are truly YOURS. parks are wide open, stores are empty, traffic ain't too bad, the city is MINEEEEE

✨in between a 9/5 work schedule and weekends where I’ve traveled either by plane or by car every weekend, I’ve found myself extremely burnt out and overstimulated. Remedying this throughout the week by actively asking for space from friends on weeknights and making an effort to reclaim my weekend so I can be comfortable again

📕i feel like this past week being back at uni and being like actually busy during the day again has given me sort of less time to be casually alone with my thoughts instead of it all just piling up to when im about to sleep

🤓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!! ✊🥖🌹
