Hey I'm Ghost, this is my dumb little reblog and personal sideblog blog for unimportant things

[catmask]

someone correcting me on something i said to be silly on purpose and now theyre treating me like im stupid

[determinate-negation]

the demand that the average menial worker “take initiative” and have a “self starting personality” and so on is one of the worst developments of capitalism and the neoliberal ethos bitch tf im just here to do whatever someone told me to do 🤣

[determinate-negation]

capital used to dehumanize the worker by reducing them to an undifferentiated cog in the machine, now your job essentially has the same function yet youre forced to act like your own manager and exhibit a self motivated can-do attitude

[ghostlymod]

The stupidest thing about this is that I think this has something to do with how a lot of jobs “expected” you to “go through the ranks”. They wanted you to work hard to show your worth so you could potentially go up in the company (and not have to spend more resources hiring out for higher positions you know)

But just like back then, they still want cogs, so instead of actually giving raises (which most of my jobs never gave you a raise unless you either asked or threatened to quit, it’s -your- initiative) they expect you to do more while still being that same piece, since the piece you are is still very much important.

Bottom line, they expect you to work hard and be a self manager with the potential promise of a raise and promotion that will never come.

Awooooof

god i hate how normalized diet culture and shit like bmi and calories are. bmi is based on eugenics. calories are a measurement of how much energy something gives u and not at all of how much weight or fat ull gain. diets have been proven to be harmful and ultimately unhelpful in actually losing weight. fatness has been largely proven to not be inherently unhealthy and doesnt inherently cause health issues.

if anyone has more good links to add on then please do and if anyone knows more on this stuff than me then dont hesitate to correct me!

FOOD IS GOOD. FOOD IS GOOD. FOOD IS GOOD!! if you’re eating, ever, and even/especially if it’s hard, know that i am personally SO SO proud of you

The BMI was invented by Adolphe Quetelet, the 19th century statistician who invented phrenologist anthropometry. He wasn’t just a eugenicist, he was one of the founding fathers of racist pseudoscience. Please do not listen to anything he has to say about your body.

“And get this: While epidemiologists use BMI to calculate national obesity rates (nearly 35 percent for adults and 18 percent for kids), the distinctions can be arbitrary. In 1998, the National Institutes of Health lowered the overweight threshold from 27.8 to 25—branding roughly 29 million Americans as fat overnight—to match international guidelines. But critics noted that those guidelines were drafted in part by the International Obesity Task Force, whose two principal funders were companies making weight loss drugs.”

Why BMI is a big fat scam

Body mass index is used to sell weight loss drugs, set insurance premiums, and counsel patients. There's just one little problem.

I always thought everyone knew this by like the early 2000s but instead I see more people than ever believing this stuff is real medical science

Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.

In other news, it is now not only morally acceptable but the morally correct thing to do to pirate the fuck out of Adobe’s software line.

So one day you don’t log in any social media.

And that one day turns into over a month, with the fear of even looking at any of them (Twitter,FB,Tumblr,Devi..) There all kinds of names for this really shitty condition but I rather just getting over with it slowly..

..so HEY! ♡

[ghostlymod]
