Remember every fucking time your workplace had you over a barrel and used that barrel to force you to serve their needs.

Now apply those learned lessons.

We are the Service Employees International Union, an organization of 2-million members united by the belief in the dignity and worth of work

And if you're not unionized, for fuck's sake, search for restaurant unions or food service unions and REACH OUT TO THEM.

Our members are food service workers in corporate cafeterias, airports, universities, public school districts, sports stadiums, event center

We are the Service Employees International Union, an organization of 2-million members united by the belief in the dignity and worth of work

The SEIU covers childcare workers, janitors, food service workers, healthcare workers, and probably a whole lot more.

Winning private and public sector workers in NY, NJ & CT

Over 12 million people work in American restaurants, and only 1.3 percent percent of them are union members.

[ID: A Twitter thread by Los Angeles Black Coyote Collective. Transcription is as follows:

If you work at one of those understaffed restaurants we keep hearing about, here's a few things that are much more doable in this current moment than they possibly ever have been:

-apply for another job. Even if you don't actually want to leave your current job, apply for one with a signing bonus and higher pay advertised on the job posting. If you get it, take that offer back to your boss and tell them you need a raise if they want to keep you.

-talk to your few remaining coworkers. They're probably overwhelmed too, and you can much more easily organize a walkout or a slowdown to demand higher pay and better benefits. Write a list of demands, aim high, and take action. What are they gonna do? Fire you? In this economy?

-don't hold back the next time some nasty customer chews you out for shit that's not your fault. Tell them to go fuck themselves. Your boss is struggling to hire anyone at all and they simply can't afford to fire you. You deserve the dignity of defending yourself from that shit.

-take advantage of these 'unprecedented times' to get what you can from your workplace for you and your coworkers. Threaten to leave. Get that raise, get those benefits to bribe you to stay. It's harder for them to reduce your pay later. This is a rare moment, don't waste it.

One bad week can ruin these businesses, and they know it. Whatever money they save not paying you more they will lose in a matter of days without you. Collective action gets more than individual action though, so it's crucial that you work with your coworkers to make your threats

This moment will pass, don't fuck yourself and your comrades in the industry over in the long term by not taking full advantage of it.

Solidarity forever 🖤🏴 [black heart emoji, black flag emoji]

Example list of demands

-higher starting pay

-medical insurance

-full time work options

-schedules set in advance and with consistency guaranteed

-a yearly raise schedule

-more sick time and PTO

-no more "lean staffing"

-and any other demands specific to your workplace

One last fun fact:

You don't actually have to get offered another job in order to tell your boss that you did and they offered you more money. You can just lie. I guarantee they don't have the time right now to follow up and verify. And they can't compel you to provide proof. End transcript.]

Btw: you can force a company or manager to "agree" to anything. The only thing that will create change that will last longer than 6 months? A contract. The only way to get that contract? A union.

I see a lot of post about people asking how aros actually realized we were aro, mostly bc it really is hard bc you’re basically trying to prove a negative

And like honestly my advice is: if you think you might be aro, it doesn’t hurt anything to id as aro. If later you realize that you’re not, no harm done, glad you could hang with us for a while, good luck with your identity.

Being wrong about who you think u are is fine, there’s literally nothing wrong with it.

I didn’t id as aro for a while bc i was worried about being wrong, but then one day i just said fuck it, I’m aro, and i never looked back. Honestly great move by me bc i was finally able to allow myself to participate fully in the community and i realized that i really related to what other aros experience too

So like if you think ur aro, try it out. If ur right then welcome, and if u find out ur wrong then it’s nbd

Once again, critics are wildly put of touch with what the average moviegoer wants.

nothorses

You blew my mind when you used the phrase "make examples of us" because that really is exactly what they're doing isn't it? They don't actually want to stop any wrongdoing, what they want is a head on a pike they can wave around in front of other transmascs and say "See? See??? This is what we'll do to you if you step out of line!!!"

Yep! There's a reason they don't give a shit when anyone involved acknowledges the behavior in question and changes it; and why they never attempted to talk to anyone involved in a genuine way, letting anyone know what the problem was, educating them, and giving them a chance to grow and change.

They don't give a shit about change, or growth, or stopping anything. It's a punitive justice system re-enacted through social media, and we can think of it as such; the prison system exists to trap and control people, not to reduce crime rates. We've seen systems that reduce crime rates, and they look like rehabilitation- not removal from society, dehumanization, and endless punishment.

And if the things they do to us are okay because of the words they manage to slap onto the situation, consider how easy it would be for them to slap those same words onto you. Consider how easy it would be for them to do the same to you.

What they want is an excuse to dispose of people for petty bullshit and bigotry. What they want is control.

What transed your gender

Wrong answers only

Every time I get groceries I’m always appalled at how little you can get for like, $20. I was making banana pudding so I needed vanilla wafers but the brand name nilla wafers cost $4 a box. The minimum wage in my state is $7.25/hr. My friend put it really well when he said “imagine you work for an hour and someone hands you two boxes of nilla wafers and said ‘actually this is a bit more than what I owe you’”

laeffy

How are some of y’all missing the point so bad. “Shop at aldi instead” “make your own food” “don’t buy brand name” “don’t buy unhealthy processed food” It’s not about the box of cookies. This is about how minimum wage pays peanuts and has stagnated for 12 years while the cost of living keeps growing. No one wants your financial advice about how to survive on beans and rice and frozen veggies. The smartest grocery list in the world is not gonna help you budget your way out of poverty. Please get a grip for the love of god

The modern education system was designed during the Industrial Revolution to force children into a workplace environment (“Shut up, sit down, do your busywork, obey authority without question, no bathroom breaks, you are dismissed by the bell”) and has not been updated since. Rich kids in private school get to sit in circles and discuss literature theory like businessmen exchanging ideas. Middle-class kids sit in arrays of desks like assembly lines or cubicles. Poor kids attend schools with armed security guards and metal detectors, ready for a lifetime of prison labor. What we’re seeing now is that teachers try sending these attitudes home with their students and parents don’t remember the authoritarian aspects being so overt.

Billionaire philanthropy is a PR scam

“I think billionaires donate for various reasons, but it’s clear that giving away the equivalent of what’s in their couch cushions helps them avoid having to face steeper bills that would actually make a difference in solving systemic problems,”

Often when these billionaires give money away, it is to vanity projects with dubious societal impacts.

Billionaires have done this forever, and it’s actually negatively impacted things like modern education

Fun thing the internet will do is pick on someone for being gnc and then say "well it doesnt count bc theyre actually Fake Gnc, its an Act, its not Revolutionary Or Visible Enough and i dont personally find it attractive so i can make fun of them for it all i want and its actually very #progressive of me"

themadcapmathematician

If theyre more creative they may even compare them to other gnc people they think are actually hot or draw attention to ways the ppl theyre making fun of are not oppressed for extra Good Social Justice Points bc clearly that makes it all better!

themadcapmathematician

"But a guy wearing nail polish or a girl wearing a suit isnt even Transgressive anymore it-" honey the fact that you noticed it and commented on it says so much more than anything else that came out of your mouth lmfao im sorry to say that real the issue is that you just suck

it’s interesting to me how i can’t find any local bail funds that go towards bailing out actual prisoners and not just activists and protestors. seem a lil backwards to me. maybe the reasoning is ppl are more likely to fund them rather than imperfect victims like prisoners.

My brother Vell who has already been out on bond for almost a year, was raciall… T. S needs your support for Help Free Brother & Pay For Le

anyway if you can and are able to, please share and donate to help us get my brother bailed out and proper legal representation.

more updates and details within the fund but the gist of those are:

severe abuses by prison employees upon my brother such as:

harassment

not reading him his miranda rights upon arrest

withholding of medical care

purposely making him miss his court dates by not transporting him as they are responsible to

withholding money that family put down for him to feed himself and buy necessities in there

blocking his calls to me & other family members.
