bringing a sort of "slavery is still alive and well in US prisons" vibe to the office Juneteenth post that my higher ups don't really like

From what I understand slavery was never actually abolished in the us. It is still legal and all.

the amendment that "ended" slavery specifically left permission for slave labor as punishment for convinced criminals and our inmates have been legally exploited ever since, yes

wait i was with you until this last reblog, but abolish prisons? the hell would you do about the criminals? i am so confused .w.

go read some Angela Davis and Mariame Kaba on this beautiful Juneteenth, it's a great day to learn

before pride month ends does anyone wanna admit they have a crush on me

posting this on the first day of june so you all have plenty of time to gather your nerves and whatnot

obligatory reblog of this after I forgot to bookmark them (again)

I just think "data center water usage should be federally regulated," while less catchy and less emotionally charged, is a stronger political stance than "fuck AI." Targets the systemic flaw rather than a product, you know?

school uniform codes extending to what colours you’re allowed to dye your hair, and what piercings you can have and stuff is so crazy. you HAVE to go to school and you’re not even allowed to have pink hair or pierce your nose about it????

“oh it’s to prepare you for the workplace” okay. i don’t think any workplace should be dictating what you can and can’t do with your body either and i think it’s strange to decide to teach children that their body is not their own

guys. there ARE women and girls who look like this. who have androgenic sex characteristics. who present masculinely. every time you post something like this you're regurgitating the idea that appearance dictates gender.

hello horny writers of tumblr this is your shine to try out ellipsus instead of google docs. it's completely free and the team behind it have a very strong stance against the use of AI in creative spaces. I haven't been using it long but it works beautifully.

I really like the idea of Bob being specially into whatever makes John insecure. Like, John feels that he 'let himself go' after the divorce (and he has no idea about whatever Bob might be into, except for clichés he might have about gay guys that he knows are clichés) and then there's Bob, who has dreamed about the way the tank top sticks to John after a gym session (regardless if he's got a bit of a belly) and also ponders on the regular how John's beard might feel against his skin, to give a couple of examples.
