abortion

birth control

also reproductive rights issues:

doctors performing c sections during births without informed consent

eugenics via sterilization requirements for trans people to change documentation

eugenics via forced/nonconsenting sterilization of disabled people

eugenics via forced/nonconsenting sterilization of people of color

eugenics via selective abortion of disabled fetuses (fetuses with Down syndrome especially) (these are abortions sought by people who WANT to be pregnant–but only with non-disabled children, when there’s absolutely no guarantee that a non-disabled child won’t become disabled)

- doctors deliberately stitching their female patients genitals tighter than necessary / than is safe to “make sex more enjoyable for their spouse”

Got to the interview, and it turned out they didn’t want a barista, they wanted someone to spearhead their new cafe, as the cafe that had been in the store before didn’t want to resign their lease with the bookshop. They wanted to put their own cafe in its place, all new menus etc. They needed someone experienced to train their new staff, to handle window displays, to communicate with the bookstore owners about changes and needs of the cafe, to be able to handle inventory and ordering.

Okay, I had basically done most of that stuff at my previous job. I asked if cafe positions would also be required/trained to work the bookstore. They would. They would be required to run the book sale counter, stock and reshelf books, and help bookshop customers find things. They would also–despite having an outside cleaning company–have to help maintain bathroom cleanliness. They’d have to take out trash, and clean spills, and vacuum.  Wow, that’s a lot, I said. Is this a manager’s position, then?

Amazon normally brings in over 34 BILLION dollars every day. The loss of even one day’s profits could mean massive leverage for the strikers – especially when the boycott coincides with what is usually one of Amazon’s busiest days of the year, their Prime deals day.

Reminder: Do not buy from Amazon or even open the website between 10-17 July 2018, in solidarity with the transnational strike.

Amazon workers in Spain have called for a transnational strike because Amazon has been avoiding accountability for its labour rights violations by merely shifting the work (and the human rights abuses Amazon inflicts on their workers) to non-striking countries, each time a strike occurs. If there is widespread striking transnationally, Amazon will have no choice but to recognize the strikers’ demands in order to keep their facilities functioning.

hi! as some of you may know, I’m multiply disabled and living in deep poverty - my total income is a little over half what a minimum wage job pays.

I do my best to skate by, paying rent before anything else, eating as cheaply as possible, rarely going places requiring bus fare (I have no car), spending almost nothing on entertainment or clothes, making things last until they are physically falling apart (and oh boy are things physically falling apart rn), rationing my meds until my pain impairs my functioning significantly, and rationing laundry as long as humanly bearable.

However, despite my best efforts being poor is a constant game of catch-up that it’s impossible to win, and I’m struggling right now. I could really use some help.

I admit I feel ashamed asking for help again. You’ve helped me out of some dire situations in the past and I’m forever grateful for that. I don’t want anyone to feel obligated.

So please ignore this post if you feel any reluctance or if you struggle with limited resources yourself. But if you’re an adult who has a little extra and you actually do want to help me scrape by, I have a paypal and a wishlist.

Over the past 6 years I’ve been in a very abusive relationship. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t stay anymore. My boyfriend has cut me off from most friends and family and I have no one to reach out for help. I don’t know what else to do. Last night was the last straw for me. He beat me and I can’t take it anymore but im afraid. He watches everything I do. I’ve made this tumblr to reach out for help. I don’t really work and I recently found out that I’m pregnant. I know if I can’t give my baby the life they deserve here and I need to leave now. I feel terrible asking for people to just give me money but I have no other option at this point. I just need enough to buy a plane ticket to go to a family member in Honduras. Please. I don’t know where to turn. I’m not good at anything so I have nothing to offer. The ticket is $938 and I just don’t have that. Everything is in my boyfriends name. Please. Anything helps. I need to leave as soon as I can. Someone before suggested I go to the police but I can’t. My visa has expired and because I don’t work or go to school anymore my bf said there would be no reason to renew it because we’re getting married.. that was 3 years ago. I’m undocumented and I’m afraid of something happens to me and my baby no one will come looking for us or care. Please. I know this is a little scattered and all over the place but my mind is all over. I really need help. Please any donations help. Even as little as .50. I’m looking for another nannying or housekeeping job to help pay for the ticket but I haven’t found anything yet. If you can donate or give any info on how I can get the funds please let me know. Thank you to anyone that even reads this.

FIRST! The inner flap:

Communism refers to a theoretical next stage of human history, where society has been fully democratized and exploitative power relationships have been defanged because goods and services are equally accessible to everyone who needs them.

Socialism, according to state communist ideology (your Leninists and Maoists and all that), is the transitional phase between capitalism and communism, where the means of production are placed under democratic control in order to facilitate the deconstruction of class society and those exploitative power relationships; as Lenin said, “All will govern in their turn, and soon become accustomed to having no-one govern.”

So, I guess you could say that most anarchists are communist but not socialist, while most statecoms are both communist (in theory) and socialist (as a tool/strategy).  And this is what people mean when they say, “Well actually the People’s Republic of Such-And-Such was socialist it wasn’t communist”; having a “communist state” is like being a little bit pregnant.

Daisy Ridley got sexist internet hate when she was revealed as a new Star Wars protagonist

Kelly Marie Tran got racist and sexist internet hate when she was revealed as a new Star Wars protagonist

and Daisy and Kelly both eliminated their social media presences for it.

its like when they try to figure out if you’re poor by asking if you have “reliable transportation,” hoping that ppl will explain that they dont have a car without actually being asked. things like that.

The entire process was super gross and made me feel scummy and unethical. SO!

Here is an article (that we used in class) that covers 30 Interview Questions Potential Employers are Not Allowed To Ask You (and what they might ask you instead).
