When John Oliver mentioned the Bessemer Amazon union drive in this week’s show I was really expecting him to talk about how the vote was found to be illegal and a revote has been called, because despite the huge media coverage of the first vote almost no one seems to know that another one is happening and needs support and talking about that on such a popular show would really help get the word out, but he just… never brought it up
Amazon has already started mandatory anti-union propaganda meetings (they started in the first half of October, actually) but nobody is talking about it. They’re not getting the outside support they’ll need to win. They’re only getting Amazon’s side of the story
Please don’t let this vote come and go unnoticed. Post about it, talk about it with your friends, bring it up to coworkers and strangers, whatever it takes to get people to actually pay attention. They need it
Here’s their website, with links to their social media at the bottom for updates
this vid is about them looking for the source material for the dude whos on fire but im obsessed with how this looks like a true crime cold case video about dewey
i can’t get over the fact that if you were to have more than two arms you’d need more than two pectoral muscles to accommodate them
can’t make this shit up folks
If I were a security guard for a person who’s being targeted by assassins I simply wouldn’t devote my entire attention span to every single noise I hear.
Why do I care if there’s a random noise in this out-of-the-way dark corner? My post is right here.
But… but I threw a rock there. Y-you gotta check
If I hear a noise I’m gonna throw a flash grenade in that direction.

“Got a neutralized assassin in gate 17.”
“Did they try distracting you by throwing a rock?”
“Yeah, they did.”
“Fucking idiot.”

Don't laugh at this because "Oh those silly monster f*ckers." This is a giant freaking RED FLAG just like with Only Fans.
so there's some people in the tags wondering "hey why are lots of sites cracking down lately/why is anything sexual being removed"
once again, it goes down to platforms and payment processors. platforms, aka, app stores, and mostly Apple: that was the issue with Tumblr, and with OnlyFans. Fandom, the company that hosts all the fan wikis, also produces D&D Beyond. If they're trying to make a Fandom app, this might be why it's happening - or because they are self censoring before trying to do something else that would involve an app store or credit card payment processor.
This is why people need to pay ATTENTION to what happens with the mainstreaming of SWERF rhetoric. For example: there is a supposedly anti-trafficking movement called Exodus Cry about "protecting children not porn", that uses trafficking survivors, the media environment of trafficking panic and people's real fears, to push this stuff, when in reality they are an evangelical Christian group. Without researching the nefarious background, the New York Times wrote a whole piece about their supposed "work", which, being the NYT, got a ton of attention and got payment processors like the major credit card companies to start cracking down HARD on porn sites. (Look up the TraffickingHub campaign. The irony here being that Mindgeek, the GIGANTIC media monopoly that owns sites like Pornhub and Redtube, is very unethical but not for the reasons these mf say).
They've made Netflix documentaries, TikTok is chock FULL of trafficking panic videos with false information, Congress has already used "protecting children" to enact SESTA/FOSTA, which put sex workers and many others in danger (see: the immediate fall of Backpage), and there's more on the horizon.
I IMPLORE people - this is not about fandom shipping discourse. This is not about antis. This is about 1) internet privacy 2) sex worker rights 3) how to REALLY protect trafficking and abuse survivors 4) the police/surveillance state we live in getting bigger. I'm rambling here, but to learn more:
1. Follow Hacking/Hustling on Twitter/etc. They have an infinite amount of resources on this.
2. Follow the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who flags stuff like this all the time.
3. Listen to these episodes of the You're Wrong About podcast for a good summary:
- the sex offender episode
- the human trafficking episode
- the wayfair conspiracy & trafficking statistics episode
4. Some necessary reading:
- "The Crusade Against Pornhub Is Going to Get Someone Killed"
- "Visa and Mastercard are Trying to Dictate What You Can Watch on Pornhub"
- "Nick Kristof & the Holy War on Pornhub"
5. LEARN ABOUT THE EARN IT ACT from Republicans in Congress. It is another "oh we're trying to protect the children" situation that will hurt sex workers first and everyone else in the process.
- "The EARN IT Act is a Disaster for Online Speech and Privacy, Especially for the LGBTQ and Sex Worker Communities" - ACLU
6. LEARN ABOUT SECTION 230 and the ongoing debates about platform responsibility. As Facebook enters its meta virtual reality phase this is crucial as well.
I’m just trying to clean up my hard drive what is this bullshit

this image of Mongolia's best known paleontologist, Altangerel Perle, standing in between the fossilized arms of Deinocherius is undeniably the most powerful image in paleontological history
I might as well do a hint of my thoughts here before I go and set things square on Oprah 🤔😜🤷🏼♀️ !!!!!
fictional character discourse would be more fun if we all internalized the fact that characters are narrative tools, not people. once we have that basic fact down, we can start talking about what story the author is trying to tell using these characters, whether they’re successful, whether the story itself is successful and by what means we are measuring success—which are all really fun and interesting things to discuss! but we simply cannot get to that point unless we first accept that fictional characters simply do not have thoughts, feelings, opinions, or any agency on their own. a fictional character has more in common with the fictional chair theyre sitting on than with a real person

my cat hates taking his pills. the only way we can get him to eat them is to turn it into an elaborate pantomime - we take the packet out of the cupboard slowly and hold it up, saying “oh!! what’s this? what’s this? a TREAT? a TREAT for louis????” while making surprised faces. we offer him a pill… then, before he has a chance to sniff it, we wag our fingers at him and replace it in the packet so it becomes a Tantalising Forbidden Mystery. we continue doing this until he’s so confused and excited that he will eat the pill as fast as possible, just so he can find out what it is before we can take it away from him again. as soon as he’s eaten it he looks utterly disappointed and betrayed, like a child who just ate a delicious sweet only to find it was a chocolate-coated brussels sprout. it never gets old
Op this is the funniest thing I’ve ever read
op how could you just hide this from me in the tag this makes this objectively 10000000% funnier
