I Like What I Like

1) Who the fuck cares. Who the fuck cares what people do with their time! That's kind of the fucking point!

2) People aren't going to stop laboring. Housework (look, it's right there in the word!) will still need to be done. So will maintenance on our homes and personal spaces. Children will still need carers, as will the elderly and disabled. There are millions of examples of ~work~ that we do all the time, uncompensated, that won't suddenly stop because we aren't forced to sell our labor to provide corporation's profits.

I'm not surprised that what is traditionally women's work is invisible to these dipshits, but it never fails to anger me.

Anyway. Join the IWW.

People stopped wallpapering their homes with stuff that exuded mild hallucinogenics.

People got a lot better about realizing black mold existed, black mold probably shouldn't exist in their house, and preventing black mold from existing in their house.

People stopped lighting their homes with gas flames, which meant they no longer had sprawling conduits of leaky gas tubing throughout every room of their house that tended to outgas even when not lit.

People stopped (and I am being very serious, this is just what (some?) people did) filling washing tubs full of gasoline and using the gasoline to scrub out persistent stains from their clothes they'd then put on and wear while smoking cigarettes by the giant open hearth that provided most of the heat of their parlor room.

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

Attila being a silly! His energy is still the same adorkable vibe.
