LIghthouse keepers will never be memorialized like soldiers or cops because they didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job) but they’re like, heroes who saved untold lives through discipline and self-sacrifice doing an impossible lonely job and I’m worked up about  it 

Clinging to a swaying tower in freezing, driving rain, risking death by everything from pneumonia to a fall to a fucking lightning strike to keep the lantern going when you don’t even KNOW if someone is out on the water!! Working! Class! Heroes!

Love very much the sentiment of this post and also love the specific wording of “didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job)” because what lighthouse keepers did off hours is their own business

I'm going to Badwill. The evil thrift store.

invented a chess opening called the lovers gambit where you toss the pieces aside and start kissing your opponent on the table

calm down edgelords, the whole point of society is that it’s not survival of the fittest. literally the point is that we’re leveraging our collective strengths to lead to better outcomes for everyone. we’ve been doing it for a couple thousand years now

The survival strategy our species dumped all its skill points in is cooperation and community. Don’t like it? Walk into the woods and die mad about it.

people are so annoying about strikes like they’ll say they support the workers and then complain about how it’s inconveniencing them. please explain to me, in your own words, what you think a strike is and how it’s effective, I’d love to know

also if it really is that inconvenient for you, that just proves that they’re important workers and that you should be supporting the strike and respecting the people whose hard work makes your life easier
