not only is public transport free in Brussels, but they even have a bus called "Not The 48" which takes you to a mystery location if you're feeling a bit down or you just don't have anything to do that day something for other cities to consider
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

I referenced the “female gaze” to a cis het man the other day. He said… “I don’t think they like to be called that”

I got laid off yesterday from a job I really liked, for people I really liked. Just a reminder that you’re disposable as soon as they decide you are. Stop working late. Stop reading emails after hours. Stop working on weekends. A job is income to live your life, not your life.

Ten years ago I met a man in his 70s on a train in Kerala. When I asked if he minded travelling alone he replied: “I’m not alone, I’m by myself.” I always remember this when I’m eating out by myself or do anything without companions. It changes everything.

We're committed to diversity but we can't hire you because you don't have experience even though we seem to know the reason you don't have experience is because people like us won't hire you but we still love diversity & if you need proof just look at our all-BIPOC support staff
