I work an outdoor job in another hot state. We typically take a water and shade break every forty-five minutes or so for about fifteen minutes. Not having those breaks, especially when we’re in head to toe PPE, would kill most of us and we’re used to it.

I was using Sync for years and years. This month, I deleted all my Reddit accounts. That was a well polished app and I’ll definitely miss it, but I’m not really missing Reddit itself.

I’ve only been here for a day, but the lack of homophobia and transphobia here compared to Reddit has been a breath of fresh air. I’m not afraid of posting here like I was on Reddit, where I’d actually have to debate with myself for a minute or two before posting. It’s like finally leaving a bad relationship; now I’m starting to see how bad that all was for my mental health.
