Waffles: i’m just reading about how this Egyptologist came across jars full of honey so naturally they started eating it

Me: haha science!

Waffles: then one of the party remarked on a hair in the honey he was dipping bread in they found more hair and pulled on it and ‘the body of a small child appeared, in good state of preservation, with all limbs intact and well dressed, with ornaments’

Me: GOOD LORD

Waffles: it is not recorded if any of the party ever ate anything ever again

Me: bluagh guahg so it was a child in a big jar of honey?  they were really going at it? not just tasting huh

Waffles: yeah they must have been really nomming it

Me: the messed up adventures of winnie the pooh

Can you imagine the changes to the workforce and how we treated workers if no one HAD to work to survive?

Like often I see these complaints about a universal basic income that are like “well then no one would work!” and I think there are lots of people motivated to have more money even when they have enough to get by, but I also I think, that’s kind of true, if regular employment looked and functioned the way it does now.

But with UBI if both employers and society wanted people in certain jobs those jobs would have to offer more than just “you need us to survive”. They’d have to offer satisfaction and community and purpose.

Imagine the changes places like WalMart and McDonalds would have to make to how they run their enterprise if they had to woo and entice their employees into wanting to be there. Imagine the end of “the customer is always right”, both because employers know their workers won’t put up with and because consumers are forced to have a respect for workers choosing to do this with their time to make the community function when they don’t have to.

Imagine the progress to automation and technology now that we don’t have to worry about unemployment as a result. So instead of a store having 40 employees, they have 10 and automated self check out and price scanners and store apps you can pay on, and automated self-driving bots to keep inventory and restock at night. (And that’s when you don’t just order online, shopping in-store is now inherently a Boutique experience).

But those ten remaining employees are So Valued by the company, and so carefully educated and trained and respected as experts in what they do. People go “you could do that when you grow up, help people shop and find what they need and know what products are best for them.” And it wouldn’t be an insult like “you’ll wind up flipping burgers”, but instead a respected option “you can help people have warm fresh food in one of the oldest and most prestigious international groups in the world, and look at their travel programs and free clubs and classes” (McDonalds wins the Fast Food Mario Kart Tournament every year, their team is best in the nation and if you want a good esports program you work at McDonalds).

Evidence shows people would still work. Evidence shows people want to improve their situations and want to have structure in their lives. Evidence shows the only populations who take advantage of a UBI to not work are students who choose to focus more on their studies and new mothers, who choose to spend more time with their kids.

But it would increase the bargaining power and social power of the average employee by so much. They’d have the option to walk away. And employers would know it and consumers would know it and employees would know it. So if we wanted it to keep working, employers would have to start catering to their employees wellbeing and health and happiness as well as their wallet.

And it would be so good.

Puerto Rico has unveiled its first LGBT monument, which also serves as a memorial to the 49 victims of the June 12 massacre at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub. Most of the people killed were LGBT and Latino, and a majority of the victims were of Puerto Rican descent. At the base of the monument is a plaque highlighting the names of the 23 Puerto Rican victims killed in the massacre, with the additional 26 victims listed below.

Alongside the names, Spanish text reads:

“This tribute to life strengthens our commitment to fight hate — the product of homophobia — with love and respect. Our slogan resounds in all our hearts: Love is love, is love, is love…”

The final phrase appears to be a reference to Puerto Rican playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda’s speech at the 2016 Tony Awards, just hours after the Pulse shooting, where the straight artist performed a powerful sonnet he had written for the victims of the massacre.

The monument was unveiled during the city’s well-attended LGBT Pride celebration, where thousands gathered to march and celebrate — and remember those lost in the Pulse shooting.

The monument’s dedication took place almost exactly one year after a federal judge in Puerto Rico first ruled in favor of marriage equality. Although an anti-equality judge in Puerto Rico tried to halt that ruling, a federal appeals court determined in April that the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which brought marriage equality to all 50 states, was also binding in Puerto Rico, an unincorporated territory of the United States.

Que este homenaje a la vida, refuerce nuestro compromiso de combatir el odio- producto de la homofobia- con el amor y el respeto. Que nuestra consigna retumbe en todos los corazones: Amor es Amor, es Amor, es Amor…

technology related sensory memories from my childhood

sliding the metal cover on floppy disks

the slight resistance of inserting cassette and video tapes

ripping off the strips of holed paper off of dot matrix printer paper 

rolling the wheel on a disposable camera to take another photo

[mm-imagerie]

The heaviness and rubber texture of the roller ball in a computer mouse, and the little ring of lint

Unkinking the curly cord of a telephone while you talked

The -peww sound and slowly fading image of a crt monitor turning off, and then running your finger through the static on the dusty glass

The crunch of opening or closing a plastic Disney vhs cover

The sound effects in kidpix

Extending and collapsing metal antennas and using them as magic wands

[myratheinvisible]

The little ridges of a cassette tape’s cogs pressing into your fingertip as you wound the tape back in

Curling the rotary dial of the telephone round to each number and letting go

The rainbow glare of free AOL CDs catching the morning light in the pile of post

Manually tuning the car radio with a notched dial and the mess of static, broken voices, and fragments of songs

The click of a Gameboy’s on/off switch

The sound of a CD skipping in your walkman when you moved too fast

The tick and loud clunk of a book being pushed over the slanted buttons of the imaging machine at the public library when you borrowed it

The heavy sound of a credit card swiper at a shop till shifting back and forth

Putting in a video game cartridge, the firm press to get it in properly

The rounded square of light from the overhead projector shifting in front of you as the teacher adjusted its height

The resistant jelly buttons of late 90s/early 00s mobile phones

The push of a joystick against your hand when you held it in one direction

The soft clack of a flip phone snapping open

Pressing in the deep-set power buttons until you felt them give and click

The whirr of a VHS tape rewinding
