last night a cat burglar broke into my home and replaced all of my experiences with memories, exchanged my objects for descriptions, covered up my actions with evidence... all without leaving a trace

every major structural social problem right now is basically "we don't have enough skilled workers on the ground" and the reason is always "well we've been intentionally underpaying and understaffng them for decades to increase corporate profits" and somehow the news always just mentions the "shortage" without digging into the cause
air travel is a mess? shortage of air traffic controllers - for some mysterious reason
logistics a mess? shortage of truck drivers - for some mysterious reason
public transit can't meet demand? shortage of bus drivers - for some mysterious reason
We even mysteriously have shortages of doctors, nurses, teachers... FOR SOME MYSTERIOUS REASON
FUCKING PAY PEOPLE AND HIRE ENOUGH STAFF
We need a sort of "six sigma no-blame" process, except taught to journalists. Report not just the immediate failure, but what sort of systemic causes allowed the failure. "This person fucked up" means the system failed to prevent the error, and that's still on the system - it usually means management is pushing the human component past spec.
Or failing journalists, some meta-organization above them better than "supernatural memes on Tumblr" would still be nice...
We have a shortage of doctors not because doctors aren't being paid enough but because doctors have successfully lobbied the government to prevent the shortage from being filled, in order to increase their wages.
I think that was actually one of the examples I had in mind when I wrote my reply - there are known causes for a lot of this, and it would probably be vastly easier to fix if we could just get journalists to actually dig in a few layers, instead of stopping at the superficial surfaces.
Teachers genuinely seem underpaid and over-administrated (and watching the administration bloat has got to make the underpaid thing hurt more) Air Traffic Controls are under the most absolutely insane obligations and working conditions ever. I cannot fathom why anyone would do it, unless it was funding their coke habit.
Doctors are an artificial shortage by strangling one part of the pipeline, and it would be so incredibly easy to fix that one. People still want to be doctors!
I'd imagine truckers are underpaid and under-appreciated, alongside facing a fairly clear threat of automation at some unspecified point in the future. But they also have a really strong union, and it's doing some solid work fighting against automation. But also it's social isolation for weeks on end, with nothing but music and podcasts to keep you company.
I have no clue what's up with bus drivers, honestly.
And a lot of times corporations are just firing salary-lowering gunshots when they complain: they can get as many workers as they want, they just resent paying a living wage.
Watching a dinosaur documentary and was like "that paleontologist is transfem. They have to be right?" And so I looked it up and yes Riley Black is transfem

i highly recommend finding yourself a clingy (healthy) lovey dovey partner who's always super excited about you. life is too short to spend it with someone who acts like showing love is a chore.

Feminists and misogynists both want to stop arguing about whether men or women have it worse, but the crucial different is feminists want to stop because they already know the objectively correct answer, and misogynists want it to stop because being reminded of the truth makes them uncomfortable.
trans women:
center yourself in language that includes you. if it includes women like you, it includes you. it's not "them" it's "us". women are your peers. when someone says ladies that means you. keep reminding yourself. don't forget. it is a fact. treat it like one. you HAVE to treat yourself like a woman. keep reminding yourself. keep reminding yourself.
i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it
Honestly, I'm still not sold on how not masking in public is convenient. Doctors appointments and missed hours at work cost money, and you don't get sick if you just wear a quality respirator in indoor scenarios with a lot of people. You remove the risk of exposure. It's convenient to mask, but the narrative is that the nebulous idea of "freedom" (in this case to spread or get infected with airborne pathogens) is somehow a convenience and that masking infringes upon that "freedom."

My most diagnosable take is that honestly. As much as people in social justicey spaces talk about exercising your empathy ... there's also value in being able to turn it off so you're not extremely susceptible to emotional manipulation. Sometimes you have to be able to recognize "oh, this is bullshit propaganda trying to tug at my heartstrings" and stop giving a fuck about like. Colonizer feelings or whatever. Vibes can't override your principles
Like idk being niceys is a good start but your politics can't begin and end with 🌈 kindness 🌈 or you're gonna get taken advantage of. The worst people on earth will be like "but what if........ I have a sob story about it 🥺" & you Need to be able to tell them to Fuck Completely Off
There's a certain strain of ... Everyone Is Valid 🌸 style pseudo leftism that ime invariably caters to whoever throws the biggest tantrum. And this is a Problem interpersonally & it's especially bad if you let these people dictate your opinions. Not everyone is valid some of you are racist
by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?
are people talking about the labor conditions at Taylor Farms yet? like the fact they use enslaved prisoners in their facilities?
are we drawing the connection between worker safety and consumer safety & public health yet?
are people demanding to see the conditions in this place that keeps making us sick? why are the enslaved workers not having the time to use the bathroom or to rest when ill? very few people would shit in front of their coworkers given any choice at all.
If I don't let go of the stuffed cat maybe I can convince myself to get out of bed

Do you remember the episode of Spongebob where he's training gary for the snail race and does a coach persona + calls gary a girl and has an aside where he's like "I called you a lady to demean you 🤓" and right after he says that it cuts to sandy and she somehow telepathically feels that Spongebob just did something misogynistic and us like I feel like I need to kick Spongebobs ass for some reason. And then she appears just at the end of the episode to kick his ass.
