Every morning I wake up wondering if this is going to be the day I kill myself.
From The Washington Post. Damn
Do not let them make you numb.
Images displaying 407,000 American deaths total over 2190 days for an average of 185 deaths per day during WWII and 141,000 American deaths over 153 days for an average of 856 deaths per day of COVID-19.
(Note, other comments have recalculated for the actual length of American involvement to be 1,365 days, 296 deaths per day - but don't get hung up on this, these numbers are only to help your brain register scale)
Y'all... I'm begging you, as the caption says, do not grow numb to the numbers. And please take this seriously. Please wear a mask.
You do not want this disease. You do not want someone you love getting it. Having to watch my Grandfather die over the hospital version of Skype was awful. I will never unhear the agony in his voice the last time he spoke.
And young people are getting it too - it causes horrendous blood clots in EVERY ORGAN OF THE BODY. Young "assymptomatic" people are dying of sudden strokes.
Mask up and wash your hands.
YO YOU GUYS SEATTLE

Welcome To The Cool Zone!!!!
update: city councilmember and socialist comrade kshama sawant has LET THEM INTO CITY HALL. the revolution is now
the capital hill autonomous zone has released its demands
here’s to everyone hitting a low point after doing really well. you’re amazing and so strong and your hard work is not erased. you will find happiness again
people seem to have trouble understanding why i’m an anti-capitalist, so i’m going to try and put it into simple, real-life terms.
i work at a restaurant. i make $12 an hour, plus tips. minimum wage where i live is relatively high for my country - the national minimum wage is $7.25/hr, and has not been raised since 2009. before taxes, working full time, my yearly income is about $22,000 a year. ($25,000 if you count tips)
at my job, we sell various dishes, with an average price of about $10-$15. we get printouts every week detailing how much money we made that week; in one week, our restaurant makes about $30,000. (one of our other locations actually makes this much on a daily basis!)
i’m not going to go into details, but after the costs of production (payroll for employees, rent for the building, maintenance, and wholesale food purchasing) are accounted for, the restaurant makes an estimated profit of $20,000 per week.
this profit goes directly to the owner, who does not work at this location. the owner of my restaurant has actually been on vacation for a few months, but still profits from the restaurant, because they own it. i have met the owner exactly twice in my year of working here.
to put this into perspective, the owner of this restaurant earns in 2 days what they pay me in one year. and that’s just from this single location - the owner has several other restaurants, all of which make more money than the one i work at. this ends up resulting in the owner having an estimated net worth of tens of millions of dollars, even after accounting for the payroll for every single worker in their employ.
now, i have to ask you: does the owner of my restaurant deserve this income? did they earn it? did their labor result in this value being created?
the naive answer would be “yes”; the owner purchased the location and arranged for the raw ingredients to be delivered, did they not?
the actual answer is “no”. the owner may have used their initial capital to start the location, but the profit is a result of my labor, and the labor of my co-workers.
the owner purchases rice at a very low bulk price of about 25 cents a pound. i cook the rice, and within a few minutes, that pound of rice is suddenly worth about $30. the owner did not create this value, i did. the owner simply provided the initial capital investment required to start the process.
what needs to be understood here is that capitalists do not create value. they use the labor of their employees to create value, and then take the excess profit and keep it.
what needs to be understood is that capitalists accrue income by already HAVING money. the owner of my restaurant was only able to get this far because they started off, from the very beginning, with enough money to purchase a building, purchase food in bulk, and hire hundreds of employees.
that is to say: the rich get richer, and they do so by exploiting the labor of the poor.
the owner of my restaurant could afford to triple the income of every single person in their employee if they felt like it, but this would mean that they were generating less profit for themselves, so they do not.
the owner of my restaurant pays me the current minimum wage of my area, because to them, i am not a person. i am an investment. i am an asset. i am a means to create more money.
when you are paid minimum wage, the message your boss is sending you is this: “legally, if i could pay you less, i would.”
every capitalist on the planet exploits their workers for their own gain. every capitalist, even the small business owners, forces people to stay in poverty so that the capitalist can profit.
This is a really good post

Just a collection of my 2019 greatest snapchat hits featuring myself.
that last line is absolutely phenomenal is this why yall are so keen on therapy??
man if u ever in your life have the opportunity to see a therapist i’m literally begging you to do so bc they really do just straighten your stuff out so blunt like when I was 17 my dad died in a fire while he was between life insurance so we had nothing and the bank took our house and we lost like everything and when I was 20 I said I didn’t know why I think the way I do and my therapist said “that’s normal for victims of trauma” and I said “but I haven’t been through any trauma” and the look she gave me was more potent than any verbal wakeup call I’ve ever gotten in my entire life
you may think “that’s nice but I actually don’t have trauma or a good reason to be the way I am. I’m just broken and bad,”
but I’m here to tell you I LITERALLY thought the same way. And looking back that’s so….Like I’m sure any of you reading what happened to me would say “yeah that’s valid trauma.” But I really thought I’d been through nothing and had no “excuse.”
You’re not different than me. You’re not bad.
I’m also deeply sorry to anyone I’ve hurt along the way. Some of the ways I tried to cope led to some poor decisions and actions I’m not proud of but I’m responsible for everything I’ve done up until this point, and I own that. I’ll do my best to do right.
