Take me with you. I want so much to be like you.

not to sound like an old bitch but little kids shouldn't have unlimited access to phones or tablets or the internet in general. they really gotta go play outside and with toys sometimes. you can't let wifi raise your kid

it's legitimately fucked how people view labor in the modern age. i'm Happy stocking shelves, why does that mean i shouldn't make enough money to live? don't you think we should be cultivating a workforce that's happy to do the things they want? do you want a doctor who's only working for his paycheck & not out of an actual urge to help others? do you want the garbagemen who keep your city clean to live impoverished because they're not bootstrapping hard enough? every single american institution is working backwards to solve problems that could easily be solved with compassion and empathy

Read Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber and balk at how, almost down to precise measurements, jobs that are good and necessary are paid less, and jobs that cause harm are paid more.

the idea of "if a workplace is good to its workers then they wouldn't need a union" has got things the wrong way around. if a hypothetical workplace already treats its workers right & cares about them then it would have no reason to oppose workers unionizing because a union isn't threatening unless you're abusing your workers :)

I’ve heard of several cases of good workplaces unionizing. None of them made the news because there was no real conflict. The workers say, “Hey, we’re unionizing,” the boss says, “Okay. Let us know when you’re done organizing.” And that’s about it. It actually simplified things a bit for the management because some of the things HR was doing were taken over by the union. Since they weren’t actively trying to exploit the workers, business just went on like usual. Boring as hell.

actually really warming up to the idea of never coming out explicitly. like i’ll just be. casually queer. if you ask i will tell you

1,700 detained in russia, the likely accurate number is north of 2,000. i repeat that what happens in russia domestically is crucial for understanding what will happen next

americans learned the term coping mechanism and think they can make jokes about a country they can't even point on a map being in danger

Gov.pl is a legit website connected to the polish government i use it to look at tax info and school stuff (it has the lessons for the teachers written out) and driving license info. So this is legit!!!

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that online misinformation has been a major part of the overall Russian strategy for years, and the more chaotic the war situation becomes, the harder it will be to find out what’s true and what’s not, so check your sources, don’t believe everything you read on social media, and try to get your information from credible news outlets that adhere to certain journalistic standards

*feels best about life when i avoid it* this is healthy I’m sure

Wow there's some fucking bullshit going on in the replies here. Moderate your fucking spaces on the internet, kick racists and other bad actors to the kerb or you risk losing everyone else. This guy has the right of it (scroll up to top).

Quit thinking you need to be fair to unfair voices

reverse gaslighting where i pretend to know exactly what you are talking about
