“If Latin America had not been pillaged by the U.S. capital since its independence, millions of desperate workers would not now be coming here in such numbers to reclaim a share of that wealth; and if the United States is today the world’s richest nation, it is in part because of the sweat and blood of the copper workers of Chile, the tin miners of Bolivia, the fruit pickers of Guatemala and Honduras, the cane cutters of Cuba, the oil workers of Venezuela and Mexico, the pharmaceutical workers of Puerto Rico, the ranch hands of Costa Rica and Argentina, the West Indians who died building the Panama Canal, and the Panamanians who maintained it.”

Ich hab in nem Land mit Sonntagsöffnung gelebt und dabei hab ich vor allem eins beobachtet: Das passiert auf dem Rücken derjenigen, die sowieso schon nicht viel verdienen und nicht viel auf ihrer Arbeit zu sagen zu haben. Die Leute, die gut verdienen, haben sonntags frei - sonst würde das ja auch gar nicht funktionieren, wenn alle anderen auch auf Arbeit wären.

Es sorgt damit eben dafür, dass ganze Bevölkerungsgruppen nie nen gemeinsamen freien Tag haben, und dass man sich dann vielleicht eben auch noch sonntags Gedanken über die Kinderbetreuung machen muss.

Und das alles, damit man mal sonntags bisschen was einkaufen kann.

Important thing to remember w conversations around atheism is that it can very easily stray into 'let men be masculine' territory. 'let people be religious' ok so you're right, freedom of religion is important, but a lot of society is oriented around religion and there's pretty significant social pressure to be religious and yes there are religious minorities who are under pressure to leave their religion but they're generally being pressured to assimilate into the dominant religion not to stop being religious altogether so all in all I'm not sure who this message is for

the thing about fiber art that nobody tells you about is that every single kind of fiber art is a gateway drug to other kinds of fiber art.

interesting bumps so far. But low sample size currently.

Shout out to the trans people in the 16-20 category. I love you.

The thing about knitting is it’s much harder to fear the existential futility of all your actions while you’re doing it.

Like ok, sure, sometimes it’s hard to believe you’ve made any positive impact on the world. But it’s pretty easy to believe you’ve made a sock. Look at it. There it is. Put it on, now your foot’s warm.

Checkmate, nihilism.

usamerican chauvinism in any form no matter how cutesy or "wholesome" should make you sick to your stomach when you consider what it represents and what violence, displacement, and extraction it excuses and justifies
