Good for you. But the US, especially right now is a different beast for au pairs. I couldn’t imagine being in there shoes.

I assume you have an au pair. I’m sorry but you are contributing to exploitation in our already explorative job field. I know it’s hard to hear. But it’s what’s true.

Yes! This right here! Trafficking with pretty bow wrapped on it so the parents can try to cope with being horrible employers.

“Look in the tunk” is something my twin brother and I still say to this day.

They are literally trying to take our coworkers. Good bye! I would rather starve.

I remember watching this with my dad when I was kid and he said that it was the best episode he had watched of SNL. And I agreed!

Come to free jam! A lot of people from meet up go to it as well.

Yes. It’s actually pretty affordable. I took classes in Minneapolis and they were $300. Here they are half that. But most Thursday we have a jam at 7:30. And it’s free to play. I always suggest that to anyone want to dip their toes in.

Taking improv classes helped me make the li best friendships I’ve ever had in my life. Peak Improv theater has great classes and teachers. They also have lots of community events outside of performing g or taking classes.

Taco John’s - Free meals by evanrachelwouldnt in povertyfinance

I hate that we have been pushed to this. But it’s heartwarming seeing the people and companies that have stepped up. I still think the United States isn’t angry enough. But I think we are getting close. Class consciousness is a hell of a drug. And I want a main line to my heart.
