make a hater sick

the left will fail and keep failing as long as it doesn't offer joy or a vision of the future. Like chris smalls and the union organizers didn't win by writing scathing op-eds about Amazon and sending out long dry newsletters with donation links about Amazon's unfair labor practices to employees, they won by literally meeting people where they were at, at the bus stop where the workers gathered to go home, and hosting cookouts and bonfires. He ate with people and smoked with them and talked to them about their lives and the job, about their rights as workers and how life could be better. He brought joy to them!!! And food and community!! And that's how one of the biggest victories for labor in a century was won. If I can't dance I don't want to be in your revolution

this made me so happy and so sad

Always reblog.

"child free" has just become a code word for "I hate kids and think parents/kids inconveniencing me is a human rights violation"

just saw someone complaining that they're being "punished for someone else's choices" for having to cover a coworker who's a mom having to take off for kid things and I constantly see people who use that exact phrase say wildly entitled and selfish shit like please grow some kindness holy shit

lack of communication. ignoring things that bother you to avoid confrontation and telling yourself that they’ll change or get better naturally without ever addressing it. fear of being vulnerable. believing that love alone is enough to make a relationship work. inconsistency. lack of trust. lack of support. lack of respect. lack of dedication. lack of natural chemistry. not listening to each other. misunderstanding how a healthy relationship actually works. only believing that love is a feeling, but not actively choosing to love your partner everyday, especially when things get hard. too much pride. self-issues or insecurities that get in the way of being a wholesome partner. one person carrying all the responsibility. projecting (and only liking/loving) the idea of who you want your partner to be instead of seeing them (and liking/loving them) for who they actually are. one or both using each other for superficial needs or the fear of being alone. pushing the other to lower their expectations from life or their needs/expectations from the relationship. not wanting to see the other person grow, not cheering your partner on, not helping them progress in life, not wanting the best for them. making them the main character in your own life, losing yourself, and completely ignoring your own aspirations and needs. dealbreakers/not looking into the future and checking if both your lives, careers, goals, dreams, family ideals, and morals work together successfully. not enough love, fun, laughter, sweetness, and understanding.

Efficiency is an under-appreciated argument in favor of taxing the rich.  The only reason it seems easier to get $1 from each of 100 poor people, than to get $100 from one rich guy, is that the rich guy is willing to spend $200 in accountant fees and campaign donation to get out of paying the $100.  

I personally know at least 3 dozen accountants — self included— who fantasized about auditing billionaires. Especially during a Fraud course.
