kids these days don't know what it felt like to be bisexual and wear a stupid as fuck hawaiian shirt in 2017

as someone who has been involved in union organizing through my dad's union since i was literally in second grade, the way that people on tumblr think unions work drives me literally insane

unions do so much more than just strike. unions bargain. unions sit in at meetings with upper management. unions help people navigate benefits. unions coordinate aid drives for disabled members. my union ran a donations campaign for me for the interim between the end of my allotted paid leave and my disability claim

"unionize your workplace" means so much more than "talk to your coworkers about striking." you gotta actively know what a union is and what a union isn't before you can form one. calls to unionize should lead to more people learning their rights and learning how unions work, and coordinating with orgs like seiu and the teamsters and the aft (and if you don't know what those are, look them up).

My union found me a legal expert to help me check over my last redundancy settlement for free, provided private medical cover whilst I was unemployed, and negotiated a good deal on cheap insurance for their members. It is so much more than strikes.

I actually do think it's wrong to get a pet that you can't take care of properly and that includes enrichment, not just basic necessities. don't keep a border collie in your 700 square foot apartment. don't keep a husky in arizona. it genuinely feels cruel.

if I had been selectively bred for thousands of years to be running hella fast outdoors constantly doing a job herding sheep and some fuckass person put me in an apartment and walked me twice a day I'd kill them

Woke veggie tales would have. Rhubarb's drag race. Is that anything

shout out to I will follow you into the dark for being the song of all time. death cab for cutie just nailed it. there's never been a song as much as I will follow you into the dark. it's so song. like?? hello?? if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied, illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs, if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks, I will follow you into the dark. that's all there is to it.

knowing how it tends to go with male authors and their wives it was probably marge who wrote the odyssey

has anyone else noticed that the ingroup is morally pure af whilst the outgroup is depraved and evil on an ontological level?

Every homeless person you see on the streets has been put there by force or the threat of force by the police to protect the profits of landowners and landlords and less directly to act as an example and threat for workers who might otherwise be less willing to accept unjust wages and working conditions.

libertarian jesus is fine with the whole betrayal thing because judas was simply acting in his own rational self-interest but suddenly becomes agitated upon hearing he got sold out for less than market rate
