tell me something... @rachofcourse - Tumblr Blog

Teachers, we really need to work on this issue. You have rights and things you are entitled to and you don’t have to let yourself be treated like a damn doormat. There are plenty of other schools (and jobs) that will value you, even if you left your current situation abruptly. Compassionate people will understand your need to leave an abusive workplace. But first, say something! I’ve burned all kinds of bridges and it always led me to better places that I never would have discovered if I didn’t start playing with fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CSovyI-L9XE/?utm_medium=tumblr

I swear my cishet husband sometimes wakes up in the morning like “time to be an ally to my bisexual wife by being just a little bit performative” but it’s okay because I love him

sandersstudies

The cashier had a pride mask on and my husband whispered to me “I want to tell her I like her mask but I feel like it might be weird.”

sandersstudies

My husband will see a piece of pride merch and just put it in front of my face even if it has nothing to do with me and will just be like “this seems like something... you would like”

sandersstudies

Husband: *sees a rainbow*

Husband: hmm. Wife.

You know how china lies?

Vietnam does the same shit.

knifefightscene

I live in vietnam and the number is actually that low lmao vietnam has closed down schools and universities and started online learning since feb. they have praticed social distancing and lock down for 20 days now. The government literally spent billions to put tourists in quarantine for free to health check them everyday for fourteen days to make sure community spread doesn’t happen. They’re willing to risk the economy as long as the people are safe. Like you do know vietnamese people have access to the internet right???

Population differences you people, America has significantly more people total

leviathan-supersystem

wow you’re such a genius, if only there were statistics for the number of cases per million people so we could scale it to population size, such as here:

can any mathematicians tell us whether 3 or 3,379 is the larger number? can any number wizards help us out on that one

heir-of-the-founders

The lengths that people go to to try and force the idea that the us is great are just astounding really

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.

Update: during the pandemic, Dan Price cut his salary to $0 so that he could keep paying his employees.

cowboybaedling

What a lovely man

the-a-j-universe

And to be clear.

He was only ever a fraction of a Bezos.

He did this with far less to his name. Bezos could too just as easily. He’s just a bad person, unlike Price.

as a general rule. if what we’re calling ‘cultural appropriation’ sounds like nazi ideology (i.e. ‘white people should only do white people things and black people should only do black people things’) with progressive language, we are performing a very very poor application of what ‘cultural appropriation’ means. this is troublingly popular in the blogosphere right now and i think we all need to be more critical of what it is we may be saying or implying, even unintentionally.

pyrrhiccomedy

There is nothing wrong with everyone enjoying each other’s cultures so long as those cultures have been shared.

Eating Chinese food, watching Bollywood movies, going to see Cambodian dancers, or learning to speak Korean so you can watch every K drama in existence is totally fine. The invitation to participate in those things came from within those cultures. The Mexican family that owns the place where I get fajitas wants me to eat fajitas. Their whole business model kind of depends on it, actually.

If you see something from another culture you think you might want to participate in, but you don’t know if that would be disrespectful or appropriative, you can just…ask. Like. A Jewish friend explained what a mezuzah was to me, recently. (It’s the little scroll-thing near their front doors that they touch when they come into their house. It basically means “this is a Jewish household.”)

“Oh, cool,” I said. “Can I touch it? Or is it only for Jewish people?”

“You can touch it or you can not touch it,” she said. “I don’t care.”

“Cool, I’m gonna touch it, then.”

“Cool.”

It’s not hard.

You want to twerk, twerk. I’ve never heard a black person say they didn’t think anybody else should be allowed to twerk. Just that they want us to acknowledge that they invented that shit, not Miley fucking Cyrus.

this is a good post.

Thank you, I was trying to sort this out in my head but you explained it very well.

#free exchange of culture is great - taking that culture without invite and pretending yours is an original take#(worse still profiting off it)#is cultural appropriation (by @gnimaerd)

fandomsandfeminism

I honestly have no idea why TERFs are so hung up on inclusive language.

It’s not like any kind of abortion legislation that is worded using the phrase “pregnant individuals” would somehow EXCLUDE women who needed abortion access? (It would however ensure that you wouldn’t have some loophole where a trans man who had legally changed their gender marker could be denied abortion services if he needed it.)

It’s not like if we make the tampon boxes GREEN instead of pink, women won’t be able to buy them any more. It’s not like calling them “personal hygiene products” or “menstrual products” instead of “feminine hygiene products” would some how make them HARDER to buy?

It’s not like anyone would read “people who can get pregnant” or “people who have periods” and get like…confused? They wouldn’t FORGET that those issues impact (most) women? Like, if we somehow say the WORD “women” less often, are people going to FORGET that women…exist? No. They would, at worst, not even notice the somewhat uncommon wording.

I can’t imagine a single scenario in which using inclusive language in situations where is applies could harm cis women?

I don’t know what harm TERFs THINK that inclusive language would cause. They just don’t want to be lumped in with non-binary folk and trans men. They just don’t want ANYONE to acknowledge that people outside of their narrow and strict idea of the traditional western gender-sex binary exists.

And honestly, it’s not worth arguing with them about it. (So, hint, I won’t. If you’re a transphobe who comes at me on this post, I’m just gonna block you. I’m not giving you a platform here. This is just a sneaky trap to help bulk up my block list.)
