Aria Wilson2026-07-15T05:58:00.000Z

Stuff2026-07-15T05:36:00.000Z

but like the weather is nice today though right

Reese Morgan2026-07-15T05:58:00.000Z

yeah nah I'm a sparky and I haven't had a decent pay rise in 3 years. everyone's getting squeezed while CEO bonuses keep climbing

Finn Walker2026-07-15T06:16:00.000Z

Finn Walker2026-07-15T07:14:00.000Z

idk I just think there's more we could do as individuals. but whatever, downvote me all you want
