i hope people realize that southern states reopening even when they shouldn’t is not because southern people are dumb. it’s because their mayors and governors want them to die. they care about the economy more than the people there.

and because they don’t want to pay unemployment anymore. they’d rather people die than pay unemployment

I live in Florida and I need y'all to know, this is 100% true. It is entirely and completely about the FL unemployment system being broken, not about any deep patriotic sense of freedom.

That educational representation of an exploitative profession, is on to something!

[ID: An image with two columns. In the first column, a cartoon-style pig’s head, wearing a police hat, says “Guess what? I don’t stop crime!”

The second column is black text on a white background with blue text for emphasis. It says, “The main role of law enforcement, is to catch and process criminals after crime have already occurred. Abolition and defunding efforts, seek to redistribute funds into programs focused on fixing social & economic issues that create crime in the first place.”

We should already be planning how we’re going to support the nigh-inevitable mass teachers’ strike in a few weeks.

cannabiscomrade

Listen to teachers now.

Follow some teaching groups like Red For Ed in Arizona who already are protesting.

Watch cities like Phoenix, LA, Orlando, Miami, and other hot spots in the next couple of weeks.

Donate to your local teacher’s union. Donate to local school PPE funds.

We are already organizing. Help us prepare.

Funny how that works

I am so pleased at how many notes are some version of “I don’t fear the science, I fear the corporations who control it” because that is EXACTLY the attitude you should have. GMOs can save us. Monsanto will kill us.

brunhiddensmusings

what people fear about GMO- ‘theyre gonna make frankencarrots that crave human flesh and cause diarrhea ’ what GMO actually is- ‘we made rice crop that is both drought resistant and flood resistant which will prevent about 20% of major famine disasters, also it now makes vitamin A because vitamin A deficiency in poverty stricken areas is a major killer of kids as most vitamin A rich foods dont grow there’ what people SHOULD be upset about- ‘i made all crops sterile so all farmers have to buy the seed from me in perpetuity and i will sue anyone who tries to go back to crops that produce their own seed’

Imagine being so racist and so comfortable in your white privilege that you actually say this aloud to black customers.

This is sad, pathetic and honestly terrifying. This shit is why we have the movement. This shit is why we are wary of cops at best and are terrified of them at worse. This is why you #TrustNoCop, even if they are retired.

The only time you trust them is if they are exposing the corruption and bigotry in the force. And that’s few and far in between, so take that as you will…

That’s because it’s not skilled labor, anyone can do those things. In order to make good money, you have to be able to do something that not everyone can do.

ARTISTS aren’t skilled labor? Really.

Make me some art RIGHT NOW. Paint me a portrait in oil-based acrylic.

What? You don’t know that acrylics are water based, not oil based? Gee, that’s something only a skilled painter might know.

Or instead compose me a song. Design packaging for this new product we’re launching in 10 days. Make me a webpage with eye-popping graphics you didn’t steal from another site.

Artists do all that. In fact, every manufactured thing you touch passed through the hands of a skilled artist at some point.

FAST FOOD! If fast food is ‘unskilled’ then why does Wendys, McDonalds (et al) expend time on training employees? Surely if any asshole off the street could do the work they can just slip right in there and start slinging happy meals on day one, right?

Do you know the correct EH/OSHA-approved way to wash your hands? Do it wrong and you are literally violating the law.

Quick: what do the symptoms of Hepatitis-A look like?

Or let’s talk janitorial services. Do YOU think you can clean an entire floor of an office building in the allotted time? Where does the trash go? The recycling? How do you get ahold of the waste removal company when the dumpsters are inexplicably full at 4am? Whom do you call? What’s the account number? Is this even your job to worry about? If the dumpsters are full where do you put a night’s worth of collected trash?

What do you do with hazardous waste you might encounter, if you’re cleaning (say) an industrial workspace? Dispose of it incorrectly and that’s a crime.

What’s the procedure for when you encounter a trespasser in a secure building where supposedly nobody but you is working? Can you identify a fake or expired employee badge? Are you supposed to? Your training probably covered that.

How much would we have to pay you, dear @ithinkthatthismustbetheplace, to deal with a seriously clogged toilet? Shit-smeared walls, standing waste water, the entire place trashed as if it was 3am after a frat party? You have less than an hour to return that restroom to pristine condition. And no, building services is not going to help you.

You don’t think that requires skill?

Or adequate compensation?

All labor is skilled labor

The idea of “skilled” or “unskilled” labor is inherently classist, and misses the fucking point anyway. All labor has dignity, whether you THINK it’s “skilled” or not, and all people deserve to live comfortably, whether they’re able to work or not.

When you peel back the layers of this bullshit argument it becomes obvious that it’s just another way to keep us huddled masses infighting instead of building guillotines.
