Ohhhh!!!

I didn't know that was how tipping originated. In France waiters and waitresses are absolutely supposed to be paid minimum wage, and tipping is extra. Of course, I'd wager some people don't respect these rules, especially in the case of workers who are not French citizens and work "illegally" -- so you end up with racist discrimination nonetheless. And the laws that were passed (despite numerous protests) surrounding work from the past few years have really increased financial insecurity for a lot of workers by attacking the social protections ; lots of people suffer from it, and ofc a lot of politicians use racism as a diversion (it's better for them if people talk about immigration than about their indecent spending of public money on planes and false jobs for their family members!). Anyway, thanks for sharing this video.

These postcards pictures are utterly fascinating!

The UPS animals pics are adorable, omg, goats :')))))

I now really want to try making a cake with icing like that. It's so satisfying to look at *_*
