"Members of the Teamsters union went on strike at Amazon early Thursday in a labor action at seven facilities in four states coast to coast just ahead of the holiday gift-giving rush.
Amazon said that its operations will not be affected by any of the union’s actions. Although the Teamsters claim to represent 7,000 Amazon workers nationwide, that accounts for less than 1% of the company’s US workforce."
"Amazon shows no indication it is willing to reach a deal with the Teamsters or even recognizes that the union speaks for any of its workers, despite the union declaring that employees at numerous Amazon facilities have signed cards asking to join."

REMEMBER: THIS IS NOT A BOYCOTT.
The point is to shop as normal and show Amazon that it cannot keep up with orders without workers.
Shop as normal.
Do not boycott.
Don’t scab for Amazon.
i feel so seen!!

i love how this website decided the ides of march is a week long thing this year
The idea of stabbing the absolute FUCK out of some rich powerful asshole who has been making life suck for the masses DOES have a certain extra appeal this time around, yes.
ITS MARCH YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
Soon.
#cecilsweep is like if you had this friend, right? and you were very good friends! you talked every day, you knew everything about his life, but then it kinda sizzled out, and you'd tell yourself he's still part of your life, but when one of you reached out you were in such different places in life you could barely have a conversation anymore. it'd be kinda sad, but you have new friends now, and you remember your friendship fondly.
then one day you turn on the tv and out of the blue, he's being elected president
Would you like to find out what you would be the god of? Take my new uqiz to find out
Hey OP this immediately made me have a crisis
[id: a screenshot of a uquiz that says "question 1 of 17 would you like to be a god? answers, please choose 1" with the option to select "no" or "yes". below is a green "next" button /end id]
Y’all I’m the god of indie chillpop and if that doesn’t describe my entire being
I am apparently a God of Trains. I would like to know if I can annex some other Large Devices.
Fun little math trick I find really helpful: the ratio of a mile to a kilometer is within 1% of the Golden Ratio. That means that if you have a good memory for Fibonacci numbers (1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89) you can convert pretty accurately by taking consecutive Fibonacci numbers.
For example, 89 kilometers is really close to 55 miles (55.3). Or, say you need to convert 26 miles to kilometers: 26 can be written as 21 plus 5, so taking the next Fibonacci number up gives 34 and 8, meaning it should be around 42 kilometers. Sure enough, it's 41.8 km!
i need several moments, math like this scares me
Not gonna lie, as much as I want to be helpful and comprehensible, I am very proud of provoking that reaction image.
I took a jaunt around europe and used this trick constantly
people misunderstand what ‘gifted kid’ actually means but it’s ok it’s fine it’s cool it’s good
it’s not about actually being gifted, it’s about an initial higher scoring on standardized testing that means little to nothing or being good at learning in the way elementary and middle school wants you to, so you get marked as ‘advanced’. in reality, maybe you had faster development in certain areas, but the issue with being a gifted kid isn’t that “everyone told me I was so cool and special for reading and then I actually wasn’t :(” it’s “I wasn’t properly taught to handle things not coming easily to me, but the adults around me were counting on me not being a ‘difficult’ child in school.”
people who use it as some weird bragging method or interpret it that way are ignoring the way a lot of school systems force certain roles on students to simplify the learning process. If your kid doesn’t need to take notes to understand a science concept bc they get it naturally, well that’s good, but now you’re not teaching them how to take notes and they’re not learning that important soft skill. but because ‘gifted’ kids are easy and don’t show that they’re falling behind in learning in other categories that are harder to quantify, they eventually fall behind after that catches up to them. It’s about the failures of a one size fits all school system trying to compensate in the worst way possible.
And also the thing where ‘gifted’ kids are super likely to also be neuroatypical, which they don’t get screened for because they appear to be doing well in school. Or “You can’t be ADHD/autistic/etc, because you’re doing so well in school!”. Or being shamed for developing mental health issues/generally not being able to keep up with school work later, because you USED TO BE able to do it just fine.
Or the assumption that just because you can read well or you like math class, you’re somehow more EMOTIONALLY mature than your little kid brain is actually capable of being.
Or gifted kids whose parents and teachers put immense pressure on them to Do Great Things and Save The World and you’re like. “I’m 10 and I have no idea how to do that, but everyone is saying that’s my job?”.
This is the best “gifted kid” post out there. I never took notes until college because I didn’t have to, snd when it got challenging I had to literally teach myself note taking at age 18. It also fucks with your perception of asking for help - you’re advanced, you’re competent, you should be able to understand every topic easily. Asking for help/going to office hours/asking for a tutor feels like failing when you were praised in your early years for not needing to do that.
We have the opportunity to partner up with Rubik’s Cube and customize our own cube. Do we take on this project, fellow Pride Knights? Yes or no?
How is this?
THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER
But what if we make… two cubes?! One for gender identities and one for orientations?
Now the most important question…do we name it the ‘LGBTQube’?
We really need your feedback! You can vote here!

You are a supervillain who has just captured your rival’s child. Rather than being afraid, they’re begging you to let them stay.
Frankly, you’d known those idiots had had a kid for years now. You’d pretended not to, because while you’d committed a lot of atrocities in your life, you weren’t willing to face the moral quandary of whether you would knowingly kill a child just to spite its parents.
They probably thought they were being clever though, what with the blaming you for an injury you knew damn well you’d never given keeping one of them out of commission for a few months, then references to what they would ‘leave behind’ or ‘could not follow’ when in the latest death trap. One of them had accidentally pulled a pacifier out of their utility belt once, and tried to pass it off as being prepared for any young children they came across while rescuing.
Idiots.
Still, you had standards. Standards that fell somewhere past war crimes and before common decency, but they were standards.
ace and aro books
went on a deep dive to find some aspec rep for myself and this is some of what i came up with. again, not official recommendations since i haven't read them, but they exist and i've put some of them on my own TBR list. these are all books i haven't seen on other rec lists, and i did my best to confirm that the rep is aspec. if any of y'all have read these, feel free to share your thoughts

“People have always told me: ‘You’ll understand once you start dating. You’ll feel it when you like someone. You’ll learn when you grow up’. But the feeling of romance I was supposed to understand one day - the meaning of kissing or sex - I couldn’t get that at all. I thought I was lacking something as a human. That’s why the words aromantic asexual… they saved me.” | KOISENU FUTARI
