Darren with his newly shorn locks has been reminding me of someone and it has been driving me absolutely bonkers because I couldn’t quite figure out who…

Then it hit me:

If Sense8′s Lito and Hernando had a biological child, it would be this iteration of Darren.

I am certain that Lito and Nando are very proud of the handsome young actor that their baby has grown up to be. Like father like son…

Also worth noting: Wealthy people donate a significantly smaller portion of their income to charity than poor people.

We don’t really acknowledge this because “[x rich person] donated $2 million” sounds better than “[x poor person] donated $20”.

On twitter I saw an assessment that said this is the equivalent of a person making $50k giving $16.

Tumblr appreciates a good fable about the importance of tax revenue to provide civil services and maintain infrastructure.

hey

you know why forty hours a week is considered the standard maximum?

because for SEVENTY FUCKING YEARS, unions demanded a forty-hour week and worked their asses off trying to get it.

SEVENTY YEARS workers organised, communicated, educated, protested, screamed at the establishment. They stood defiant, they persevered in the face of violent opposition from their employers, they went on strike to the point where one fifth of america’s labour force was on strike in 1919.

Organise. Unite. Stand up.

Stop listening to the bullshit about unions as a concept being corrupt or bad. Stop listening to the bullshit that capitalists invented these things and gave them to us out of the non-existent goodness of their slimy black hearts.

Unions gave you the labour rights you have. A minimum wage, a 40-hour week, Saturdays off, meal breaks–all these basic things were fought for by unions. UNIONS did that. I’m not asking you to feel guilty I’m asking you to BRING IT BACK. We have the power if we unite.

Please support your local unions, even if you can’t be in one.

In 1970, my dad worked at the post office, and they went on strike. This wasn’t permitted - the laws at the time didn’t cover that kind of collective bargaining. But they struck anyway, and marched around with signs in front of the post office, and so on.

One woman started to head into the building, realized they were on strike, and stopped. And my dad told her, “you can go in; there’s people staffing the windows.” And she said, “oh no; my husband’s a Teamster; he’d never speak to me again if I crossed a picket line.” And she left.

That’s how unions work. You support each other’s goals. You don’t casually break the picket line - you accept that the only reason people would be standing around outside waving stupid signs is that there’s something very very wrong with this business, and the workers understand it better than an outsider could.

Even if you’re not in a position to strike, you can be supportive. I know, it’s all fucked-up now; you can be working in an office and your actual “employer” is six states away, and your cubemates are also working for a company somewhere else but a different one, so no amount of waving signs is even going to be noticed by the companies that might actually be able to grant you better pay and medical coverage and so on.

But you can say, Unions are awesome. You can be grateful that unions won the 40-hour workweek. That they won OSHA standards. That they organized to stop “company towns” where you’d be paid in “script” that was only good at company stores. (Imagine working for McDonalds and only being paid in McDonald’s coupons.)

You don’t have to join a union to support union efforts - speak out in favor of them, don’t cross picket lines, and if you have the resources, help the strikes where you can: bring coffee, bring donuts, bring sunblock; let them know that the community has their backs.
