I wanna be that CEO that pays their employees 70K a year like that white guy I be seeing all over the Internet. I can’t remember his name.

I’m not gonna be like Jeff Bezos but I do wanna be a multimillionaire 😂😂😂

[jehovahhthickness]

He took a pay cut. I’m not doing all of that. Ima just pay my people well and give top notch benefits.

[jehovahhthickness]

It gets better.

[desperate-acts-of-capitalism]

We are definitely going to talk about this guy on Buisness Desserts

Employees are not costs to be reduced, they are investments, they are assets that appreciate in value

[jehovahhthickness]

Absolutely

[doebunnybooks]

For the person commenting on not taking a pay cut, he HAD to change his lifestyle to be able to afford to pay his employees a living wage. He talked to accountants and they helped him break the numbers down based on data about the cost of living and various factors about the commute, housing issues, etc. All inspired by his best friend going nearly into debt over medical costs meanwhile he had several houses, a jet, and drank champagne daily.

He sold stock, houses, and changed his spending and as a result, his employees were overall happier and the way they worked improved. They all bought more shit and had more kids and did all the consumption people want for us while also enjoying their work and their boss enough to band together and buy him a fucking Tesla as a thank you.

And you know what he realized after taking his pay cut? He didn’t need the champagne or the girls or the “lifestyle” of being a billionaire. He feels fulfilled in his work and with the people he’s surrounded himself with and he feels that he’s made a step in the right direction that other businessmen and billionaires should follow.

Please read the article and his statements on twitter because it’s eye-opening to see that you CAN be successful doing things ethically.

Me: “So I’m really into history.”

Bro: “Oh me too! I can’t believe a girl is into history like I am. Who’s your favorite Roman emperor?”

Me, automatically, transforming into an NPC with idle dialogue: “The Funnelbeaker Culture grew wheat, millet, and barley using ard ploughs to dig shallow scratches into the topsoil, and ard ploughs and other simple scratch ploughs or spike ploughs would remain standard in northern Europe until the invention of the mouldboard in the early Middle Ages; most of the stones used in the construction of Scandinavian megaliths, including the stone ship cemeteries from the Viking Age, bear ard scratches, indicating that they were picked out of field middens. And that’s all very interesting, but the domestication of bees dates all the way back to the Neolithic, and–”

Bro dude: No, no. I mean real history. Y'know, they important stuff

[systlin]

Me, with a Very Intense look in my eyes; “Oh, important stuff! Well, the oldest spun fibers ever found are in Georgia in the Causcaus region. This means that humans knew how to process flax into fiber as early at 28,000 BCE, and while we have not found woven textiles dating back that far we have evidence of woven cloth being pressed against clay to make textured pottery dating back to 25,000 bce, and that means that woven linen significantly pre-dates settled populations. Now, humans didn’t domesticate sheep until around 11,000 years ago, but I suspect that they gathered shed wool to spin and weave textiles from before that, and that the warmth of woolen garments was a significant factor in humans eventually domesticating sheep, in order to obtain a reliable supply of both fiber and meat, and….”

Reblog to piss off war fanboys

[queeranarchism]

War fanboys: “I’m really into world war two history, General Patt-”

Me: “The quilted celebration skirt made in the Netherlands in 1945 had five distinct layers of meaning. First, the different fabrics quilted together represented the dedication to recycling and reusing that had been essential to the world war two household. Second, the use of fabrics taken from the clothing of lost relatives allowed the skirt to serve as a token of mourning for the wearer. Third, the harmonious patterns produced from these distinct fabrics represented the wish for a society that found harmony in difference and celebrated diversity of religions and opinions without leading to pillarization. Fourth, the quilted skirt was explicitly an feminist garment because …”

[queeranarchism]

Several people asked me to finish those sentences so breaking the format:

… because in a time of ‘liberation parades’ where soldiers marched in uniforms, the quilted skirt (each unique but harmonious in how they appeared together) formed a kind of ‘uniform’ that groups of women could wear in liberation parades, identifying the role of the woman as the hidden hero of the war. Fifth, the skirts expressed a positive view of the future, the reusing of materials expressing the conviction that the war torn country could be rebuild from it’s broken materials. ‘We are not there, but we’ll get there’ was the most common slogan embroidered on the skirt. Recycling, appreciating women’s labor and finding unity in diversity were seen as the key ingredients for this future.

Here’s what the quilted skirts looked like by the way:

very proud of this pettiness and applaud this kind of research into whats important anyone who thinks textiles and barley arent important does not understand history

[crazy-pages]

Also every time someone tells me that battle tactics are the most super important special part of history because that’s where the actions of individuals shaped history, my soul departs my body.

Like, yeah I’m sure the tactical choices they had available to them had nothing to do with the degree of pre combat training, command organization, and communicability of war doctrine. And it’s not like those things are inherently rooted in degree of literacy, education, job specialization, bureaucratic management of food, with the political priorities of those in power and how that was related to the existence of professional militaries.

Sure those horse archers and heavy calvary had huge impacts on individual battles, but do you have any idea what went into enabling societies to field them on the battlefield? What it takes to maintain a professional force of mounted soldiery? The sheer quantity of bureaucracy, widespread literacy, top-down dictation of land-usage, the cultural values and incentives, the food network? And yeah sure you can tell me how important the charge of the Winged Hussars was but do you know deeply important horse pulled wagons were in enabling that many Ottoman soldiers to move more than a few days from their home territory for any length of time? How horsepower supply lines not only enabled distant long-term sieges, but critically enabled the Muslim Ottomans to function in foreign lands without fatal levels of pillaging to the locals, which allowed for the recruitment of oppressed Protestants which rocked the shape of Christianity in Europe?

Sure tell me about how massive this army was, but do you even know how it got that big? The careful road management, the precise cartography, the census data, the transition to regular coinage tax structures rather than grain levies that enabled armies that large to exist? Does that interest you?

I swear I die a little every time someone gushes over the great actions of individuals with no thought for the larger social history that enabled those actions. That’s the most interesting part.

‘forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones I did not.’ - Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Illustrated astronomy by Asa Smith (1829 - 1907)

[deadbeatdaughter]

i’m coining a new literary criticism called feralism and it’s when you wildly misread the text as a glamorization of hedonism like how we as a society read the great gatsby and now want to throw banging 20s themed gatsby parties or read the secret history and want to hold a bacchanal. it recognizes literature as a vessel for the repressed human need to just lose your fucking mind.

Mike Bloomberg is a racist, paternalistic, Islamophobic, oligarch. And that’s without mentioning that Bloomberg has even more sexual harassment allegations against him than Trump does.

Don’t anybody dare @ me or tell me to “vote blue no matter who,” not when this billionaire racist isn’t even a Democrat. As a BLACK man, I shouldn’t have to pick between the racist Republican who wants to use the police to racially profile me, or the other racist Republican who also wants to use the police to racially profile me. That’s not even a false choice - it’s no choice at all.

My Bloomberg story isn’t nearly as horrific as those in the tweets above. My relatives living under Bloomberg’s racist regime simply instructed me to stay out of NYC if I didn’t want to risk being arrested and harassed and possibly inserted into the criminal justice system. And I listened to them. Because Bloomberg had successfully turned NYC into a giant sundown town. And I didn’t want to risk a criminal record for the crime of walking while black.

Mike Bloomberg is an authoritarian who wants use big government to crack down on poor people and black people, but wants less taxes on the wealthy, and deregulation for billionaires. It is not hyperbole to say that Bloomberg is an existential threat to democracy.

Please don’t let him buy the White House.

I want a home mostly just to welcome people into it. There will be bowls of candy for guests, and the cookie jar is full. I’ll always say “I was just about to make a coffee/tea/cocoa, would you like one?” when somebody walks in. There’s lemonade and iced tea made fresh on hot days. Once it hits That Hour and they start saying they really should be going, I’ll remind them that the futon is always open, and I’m making cinnamon rolls tomorrow. There’s champagne and sparkling juice hidden on a high shelf just in case somebody announces their engagement or their pregnancy or their new job while they’re here. There is an extra chair in the living room, at the table, and on the deck, and it’s for you. I want to be able to say “if you’re ever in trouble, come to me.”
