I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

You can try Radiooooo.com - The Musical Time Machine!!

choose a country, pick a decade, and GO!!

you’ll get an endless streaming of songs (ad free!).

I personally found myself loving 1970s Ghana, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire! Also 1920s and 1970s Japan for sure! Cambodian music: spectacular. Love Armenia and Mali as well. I’ve been told 70s Germany is weird and 30s Algeria is cool but I haven’t gotten around to those yet. Italy’s 1960s is bomb ofc but I’m biased ;)

[unaenanasinamor]

ahhh honey, people lie about being sick

[quietstorm-thundathighs]

Oh illiterate honey that isn’t the topic of discussion

[antique-scarecrow]

always be suspicious when someone tries to derail a conversation by talking about people taking ‘advantage’ of a social safety net. brings this to mind:

[vaporwavelich-gotta-move]

You know what, no, I’m adding to this:

@unaenanasinamor

“People lie about being sick” is practically verbatim what the management at my old factory job told me when I expressed concern back at the start of the COVID pandemic, that their staunch refusal to change or allow leniency to their attendance policy was going to result in a lot of people getting sick because it would make people still come into work while symptomatic and then start passing the virus around like a damn football. And these were concerned expressed right after we had made it through a flu season where that very thing fucking happened.

So I quit that job because I wasn’t going to get sick off of their refusal to grant any wiggle room for employees that started showing symptoms, and you know what happened?

A month later, they shut down, because they were overrun with positive cases, and one of their employees fucking died.

So. Your comment may be 4 years old and predate COVID by 2 years but uhhhh. Shut the fuck up, actually. Even prior to COVID I suffered every time I had to spend nearly an entire check just to get the proof I needed to not be fired. I never earned that money back. I missed a week of work due to a massive STAPH infection and came back to a boss desperate to push me out of the job because it was her shitty working conditions that made me sick in the first place.

People should be able to go to the doctor without it bleeding them dry and people should be able to take time to rest without fear of reprisals. Asshole.

[civilizedthings]

I always wonder if people’s minds would change if they know how differently higher status/paid jobs handle this?

I’m sick and the entire process to taking a week off was canceling a bunch of meetings and chatting my boss, “I’m sick, I’ll be out.” His entire response? “Rest up! :)”

I took two weeks off this spring and applied for family medical leave, and he told me if it didn’t come through, to just take the time and not worry about it. I really do not say this to brag, I say it to highlight how deeply unjust it is that the people with the best healthcare and wages are also assumed to be trustworthy. Are you really angrier about somebody in retail cheating Marshall’s than about that?

also … doctors will lie too. Because they fucking hate writing sick notes.

My father is a retired doctor of internal medicine, and he hates that shit so much. For one thing, it means some shitty manager has turned my dad into his student hall monitor, handing out passes instead of helping heal people. It’s a waste of time and resources, and it’s insulting.

But the main thing is, a policy like that endangers people.

Say you have the flu. Fever, cough, sore throat. First of all, he can’t help you. The doctor is just going to tell you to drink a lot of fluids and sleep and stay home. Many many illnesses are like that, all you can really do is stay hydrated and let your body do its thing. But you knew to do that already. 

Since you’re there already, he’s going to recommend some over the counter medicine, and if you are a loud enough asshole and your doctor works for a shitty enough hospital, he’ll cave and prescribe you antibiotics that won’t work because the flu is a virus not a bacteria, but that’s a whole other post. 

The thing is, he has other patients. And some of them are immuno-compromised, and some of them have conditions that make lung illnesses or fevers particularly risky for them, and you just brought your extra-contagious self into the same waiting room they sit in. Touched a bunch of doorknobs, rode the elevator with a couple nurses, leaned in to hear what the receptionist was saying… all so that he can tell you the best thing you can do is not leave your house for any reason, which you knew already but your fucking job made you do it.

my father was so angry about it he used to offer any amount of time for any reason. Like, you’d come in and say, like, my shoulder is too sore to lift things at my lifting job, note for two days please, and my dad would literally just say “how long do you actually want off work?” as in, if you had the money to take six months off and wanted to, he’d write the note for six months. As far as he was concerned, the more it screwed over the business making both of you do this bullshit, the better.

So. It’s not like forcing people to get a doctor’s note prevents lying about it, if that was your main reason for thinking it’s a good policy.

I calculate my life

As i sit out here in strife

I think im happy

But i feel crappy

Im so angry yet not

I sit here deep in thought

Contemplating and comparing

The differences are glaring

Ive always been a misfit

And was once proud of it

But ive been told

Im hard to hold

I burn too hot thinking of what i should

Im fucking intense like making love in the woods

I feel so much

All at once

Am i the only one with this kinda hunch?

Being told im the hardest to connect to in the bunch

Aquarius are weird and undefined

So is it pure chaos i should refine?

Life can be simple, but it also is hard

Feeling so smart, yet also a tard

Thinking so much like a fucking bard

Singing my sadness all from the start

I think of all the friends

Who might want this to end

I wish i knew why

They had that look in their eye

Are they shut off from communicating or am i?

I often blame myself for everything and wallow n cry.

People just don't understand why

I prefer to stay alone and keep my eyes dry

Although thats kinda another lie

Because, I crave attention and will fly

Into another flock of friends pretending

I am a new person, not defending

I stand for nothing and everything

This feeling is gut wrenching

Like an acid and a base together

This mixture is volotile like stormy weather

My heart vs my mind

At all fucking times

Itd be easier for me to die

But id worry for all my fam that'd cry

So i fake it till ill make it in this life

Pretending i still want to be alive

Im still suicidal i guess

Getting all depressed

Concentrating on the mess

While pretending i am blessed

Thats all people want

For it to be okay

With blinders they see naught

Maybe it'll go away.

For now ill end this with "im okay"
