I kind of wish that the idea that you can just be was a little more mainstream.

Like, having drive and ambition is great. But it gets drilled in kids’ heads that there is some pressure to constantly be looking for the next move up, to be bigger than life. It wears you down to never be satisfied.

Not everyone is destined for greatness. It just doesn’t suit some people.

There’s nothing wrong with having a quiet life, making enough to get by, having a small apartment where you’re comfortable, and just living. You don’t have to constantly be looking to go onward and upwards. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to just be.

warlock patron idea: it’s literally just the dm. the dm as a person is your warlock’s patron.

bonus points if your character knows that they’re just like. a regular person. but also somehow gives them magic powers? for any cool warlock shit you have to appeal directly to the dm but in character which is unreasonably meta but i love the idea of a warlock just kind of being like “for the love of fuck jeff can i PLEASE have my spell slots back”

this may be an Unpopular Opinion (even on tumblr) but like the 8-hour workday is just Too Gotdamn Long

like even sitting in an office for eight hours a day isn’t particularly pleasant (or healthy, as we are beginning to see) but when we’re talking about doing *actual work* for that same amount time it gets pretty fucking brutal

doing literally *anything* (even leisure activities) for eight hours straight tends to be less than enjoyable but when we’re talking about things like construction, landscaping, factory work, and hell, even foodservice and retail, eight hours is a fucking ETERNITY

i might just be a lazy weak-willed bitch but honestly i think i’m not entirely wrong

[tyrannosaurus-rex]

this was being worked towards by leftist labor unions way back in the day after the time of FDRs new deal. people in the 40s and 50s were already starting to realize that we no longer actually needed an 8 hour work day or even a 5 day work week.

even with the comparatively primitive factory tech of the time we were already creating a huge amount of excess production back then and companies were making massive amounts of profit. So it already stood to reason that companies should either let their employees work less and thus each employee could work a shorter shift without lowering the yearly compensation of each employee, or in cases where businesses provide an active service they would shorten the shift but hire more people to cover the necessary operating time. but of course that would mean less money for people at the top so companies fought back hard and we ended up with nixon’s bullshit and so on and now its considered the norm for us to spend the vast majority of our lives doing work that really just amounts to waste. 

[dreamer-of-centipedes]

The IWW realised this and were fighting for it all the way back in the 1930s. This is a take with a lot of historical and theoretical grounding, OP, so you’re standing in good stead.

[aztechnology]

I’d also like to add it’s also been studied and scientifically proven that after 6 hours, we have an extremely noticeable drop in productivity. Sweden saw nothing but benefits from a 6-hour work day, including worker productivity, happiness, and half the amount of sick-leave used when applied to nurses.

[aggrokawaii]

It ceases to be about production and more about subjugation.

WE HAVE OURSELVES A WINNER!

[emotionalmorphine]

Let’s just start circulating the images from the IWW again. 

It’ll make old (rich and white) people mad and that’s only a plus. Seriously, put it on your Facebook and see how long it takes for Aunty Soandso to have an opinion about how “lazy” Millenials are and who is going to serve her coffee at 4pm after picking up her kiddies because all the shops are going to close and go out of business forever and society as we know it will crumble!

Let. It. Fall.

Hello, people of the world! If you haven’t heard, on May 8th, Uber drivers in several cities are planning a 24-hour strike to protest pay so please do not use Uber’s services that day! Don’t cross a picket line!

[sbwonderr]

[reclaiming-god]

They are indeed! Thank you for the update!

Praying that $1500 randomly comes to you when you need it the most this year.

[cowboybootsandunderwear]

Rebloging because, no shit, I just recieved a scholarship for $1500…

[jehovahhthickness]

Ayyyyyy I’m here for it

[valyavalkyrie]

Please, so I can have money for the doctor and kinesiology

[jehovahhthickness]

I hope you get more than that.

[thefourtwentytimes]

that $1,500 would help my situation immensely right now.

[30-minute-memes]

It do be like that

[justsomeantifas]

how many people could be working on actual problems in the world instead of being forced to do jobs that they are over-qualified for just because they dont want to go homeless and starve?

[justsomeantifas]

climate change is threatening to kill us and people with biology degrees are working at starbucks if they didn’t get lucky in the nepotism department.

[justsomeantifas]

capitalism is possibly the least efficient way to allocate work. 

You love art–have spent your entire childhood developing a style people love and appreciate? you could possibly work to improve the lives of millions with your beautiful creations?

sorry you need to work 12 hours a day at a walmart that doesn’t need you while some billionaire who took a painting class once sells some ugly bullshit for 3.5 million.

[justsomeantifas]

Millions of people want to be doctors but can’t afford medical school, it is a well known fact we don’t have enough doctors for the demand. hmm wow real efficient capitalism.
