Housing should be free.

Which do you think is more important, housing every single person, or landlords making a profit?

it fucking sucks being a disabled person who can't work and having to see these fuckass posts where someone's like "ahaha jobless people have no life and that's why everyone shitty online has No Job" and everyone and their mother reblogs it joyfully onto my dash for me to see. yes unemployed and unemployable people are truly without exception dogshit people with no hobbies and no redeeming qualities. you're so right. anyway if you'll excuse me i have to start my shift at the I'll Never Be Employed Because Of Permanent Disability And I Love Knowing How You Really See Me store

[adriagan]

if ur able to work can u reblog this i am seriously SO sick of it.

[adriagan]

btw this isn't solely a disability rights issue or an issue about people who are entirely unable to work. you should also be thinking about the people who are regarded as unhireable. transfems are hugely discriminated against in this way, people of color are passed over for less qualified white people, anyone who has any difficulty playing the interview game is less hireable... frankly anyone who made the mistake of pursuing the things they love and now has a degree for a niche field. if you still joke about Jobless People it's because you've fundamentally connected the worth of people to their labor, and specific labor, work that you see as valuable. and while i'm at it stop making fun of people who still live with their parents. asshole.

If saying "I am a woman now because I have a vagina / I am a man now because I have a penis" will keep you safe and prevent violence on an interpersonal level then you should say it, but you cannot base your political goals off that appeal forever, your aim should be that you shouldn't have to prove your gender to people ready to violate you in the first place by being forced to give them information about your genitalia.

This can only be accomplished by destroying the structural forces which marginalized you and caused them to dehumanize you in the first place, forcing you to give them private information. This requires the abolition of legal sex, which is justified through the social fiction of "Biological Sex", just like how all systems of oppression have social fictions to justify them. You had to struggle to get in through appeals to rules made to exclude you in the first place, an appeal those who don't have easier access to surgery can't make (majority of trans people on Earth!) an appeal which can still fail through other so-called "biological" factors, also structured that way to exclude and oppress you. After your personal safety your true political aim must be that you shouldn't be put in this situation in the first place. You must become a communist.

If you could change one thing about your job, what would it be?

For bonus points: How might your coworkers answer the same question? Ask them if you can! Solidarity builds the union, and the union makes us strong.

i support universal free healthcare for one simple reason: if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness you should quit your job. quitting your job is the correct response to terminal illness. but you can’t do that if your healthcare is tied to your job

[hollowboobtheory]

listen if somebody knows that they will be dead in a years time, and you are forcing them to continue to come into work, that’s fucked up. terminally ill people should be able to quit their jobs and live their last few months to the fullest. i don’t get how that’s a controversial opinion

This is not just serious illness.

It’s any illness.

No one should be forced to work if they have the flu, or even a cold.

While the international community speaks of the genocide and ethnic cleansing we are enduring, we are focusing on the details of this urgent crisis moment by moment.

[ahmed-motaz]

My family and I are surrounded by winter's relentless bombardment. Shrapnel rains down on our heads and inside our tattered tent, leaving us without even the most basic protection. Flying in a torn tent offers no shelter from the bitter cold or the scorching summer heat. Every day we bid farewell to the martyrs of the revolution, witnessing children lose their lives before our very eyes, while we and our children suffer from a profound lack of basic necessities.

[ahmed-motaz]

We need your help, not to dismantle our tent, but to provide us with the food and medicine we desperately need to survive. I implore you not to abandon us in these circumstances.

[closet-keys]

Please please continue to support my young friend Ahmed. His family has been displaced many times, they live in a tent in a refugee camp in Gaza, and are subject to terror from attacks that continue under the false “ceasefire.” Ahmed needs food and medicine urgently.

please someone tell me how this is any different from cis transphobes going "you're so heckin valid (even though you're not a Real man/woman)"

[tboy-trash]

i think telling trans men they're not men in a way that counts is heinously transphobic actually. all these people are obviously transmisogynists as well but atp i'm marking them red for their good old fashioned transphobia too

[tboy-trash]

i've fought cis people who were dear to me for saying shit like this, why should i tolerate it from shitty dudes who, adding insult to injury, aren't just saying it because they're parroting the transphobic background noise of the world rn but to actively deny they benefit from transmisogyny??? fuck all the way off. i'm so tired of people on my asks telling me i should give more grace to ""my community"". these people are not my community and if i could i'd spit on every one of their faces until i died from dehydration

[tboy-trash]

lol can you tell i had a bad day at work

[closet-keys]

god, yeah. I'm getting so tired of this transphobic tactic of rhetorically pulling apart language around sexgender classing into imagined distinct "components" ("sex" and "gender" and "sociopolitical class") in order to argue that transness is meaningless.

male/man is a sociopolitical class within a patriarchal economic system. what would being a "man" even mean if it was distinct from its relational position in this sexgender hierarchy? what do these guys think manhood is? like they do not even offer a definition of what constitutes this ideal of "gender" that supposedly exists outside of social, political, and economic context.

this endless ''nothing means anything'' idealism as a tool for obscuring any analysis around sexgender in order to perpetuate transmisogyny without being held to account for it.. it's such a "I'd die before I hold solidarity with anyone" move.

transmisogynists are constantly broadcasting that they are more interested in opportunistic individualism than liberation. and then they are outraged whenever anyone notices.

I love that the pandemic actually definitively proved a lot of those "hard" questions for us. Masking up reduced cases of the flu to almost nonexistent numbers and we had zero flu deaths for a time. The welfare and social service and unemployment programs helped keep people living paycheck to paycheck out of poverty, and those stimulus checks some folks keep complaining about actually massively benefitted the common man and the economy. Individual personal travel was so extremely restricted on a global scale that we basically have concrete proof that individual restraint in terms of driving cars or travelling means absolutely nothing by comparison because the mass pollution is coming from the fisheries and the corporations with private jets and container ships. Working from home actually has massive benefits for a company like productivity boosts and better mental health of employees while also saving gas

and we're just. Willingly going back to how everything was before. We were shown how to do things better and the people in charge said "that's nice but we just want to get everything 'back to normal' :)"

[roach-works]

we’re not willingly going back to how everything was before. we are being forced back into it by members of the ruling class who found out that making things better for almost everyone else made them feel bad.

[silly-jellyghoty]

Let's not forget about any of these things. Let's reblog and schedule this post to pop in in the future to remind us of what we may have forgotten a little.
