this has the aura of being funny but i genuinely have no idea what the fuck any of them are saying
bööls of wa’ah
this is what Scottish Twitter is supposed to sound like
This was good for the first two thirds. Then it went from good to great.
i think that the "i do not control the ____" memes are generally tame and do not lend enough credence to the genuine absurdity of the original line that is
This serves much the same purpose just fyi
this is a real deleted scene from revenge of the sith
HOW IS THIS REAL
IM GOING TO FUCKING CRY
anakin: hey obi wan guess what *makes beeping sound* obi wan, scared: how the fuck are you doing that with your mouth
The USA are a hellscape
this whole fucking post reads like satire but its not
If that’s not enough to show the USA is an active dystopian nightmare idk what is
this photoset is enough to write episodes for more than 3 seasons of Black Mirror
“wouldn’t you rather earn something than have it just handed to you?”
Yeah when it comes to actual awards and fancy goods, but when it comes to basic needs, basic human decency, and accomodations, those things should always be handed to people. No one should have to “earn” those things.Value people as people, not base it on how much they produce.
yeah but that creates a severe dependency that could be exploited easily, and creates a slippery slope @musical-clarity
Actually studies show that people who live in places with universal income (who are given money with no strings attached just for being citizens) do far better work than those who don’t and are more enthusiastic to do work.
This is because they still want nice things and will work for those but the part of their energy that was devoted to worrying about if they have enough money to pay the rent and bills this month is now freed up to do other things.
Some people will always be lazy and take advantage of the system, but they are always a tiny percentage and it seems ridiculous to me to punish the majority and severly hamstring their abilities just because a handful of people will simply live of basic income rather than work.
It’s been tested a couple times. In Canada, in some European countries, and the results are always the same. There are two groups of people who show a statistically significant (Greater than one half of one percent, or 1 in 200) increase in Not Working and living off the guaranteed income. Parents of Children under school age, and full time students. Among ALL other groups, employment actually INCREASED. Why? Because guaranteed minimum income means that homeless people can get at least a basic low end apartment. It’s hard if not impossible to get an above board job without a permanent fixed address. Also more people were able to have and maintain a BANK ACCOUNT. It is often hard to get a decent job without an account that can accept Direct Deposit for paychecks. Also, lost work time due to illness and injury decreased across the board. It turns out if people are getting a decent amount of money each month they can A> afford to eat better, and B> obtain decent medical attention both preventative and emergency. Crazy right? So why hasn’t it caught on? Because it doesn’t directly benefit the people in power, and it increases THEIR PERSONAL taxes, their CORPORATE TAXES, and thus decreases their PERSONAL INCOME. So, because Jeff Bezos and Alan Greenspan might fall from making 100 billion dollars a year to making 99.8 billion dollars a year, it’s a hard NO and we can all fucking die.. The End.
tl;dr
TL;DR : people work better when they are living
Stefanie Smith is running for Congress and if you’re in the Churbana area seriously check her out: she’s an out former sex worker with great politics. You can read an interview with her in the next issue of @workingitzine, out this Saturday and online next Monday.
“The Jeffery Epstein memes are not improving the lives of survivors. In fact, seeing so many memes has actually had a really detrimental impact on my mental health this week. I’ve seen so few people post about the issues that actually impact survivors and workers. Did you know that this summer, Trump’s then-labor secretary, the man who got Epstein his plea deal in Florida, proposed 80% cuts to programs combatting child sex trafficking? The Trump administration did cut the funds for trafficking survivors to have their criminal records cleared. This makes it so the survivors often have to be put in sex offender registries, and frequently cannot find housing and jobs as a result of their criminal records. This often leads to people returning to street-based work, with or without the presence of a trafficker or pimp, because they have no other options. And then they face increased policing and even more abuse from law enforcement. In October of this year, the Trump administration decided to either postpone or cancel (differing reports from DOJ and HUD) $13.5 million dollars in grants meant to ensure trafficking victims get housing.
And since my posts with photos seem to get more attention, here I am at 15 years old, homeless, sitting in the booth at Baker’s Square, smiling for the moment, but actually trying to figure out who I was going to have to sleep with to get shelter for the night and enough cash to sit at Baker’s Square for hours on end the next night. If I had been caught, my entire life would have likely been ruined and I would have suffered immense abuse in the criminal justice system, foster system, or jail. And I realize a lot of people don’t want to conflate sex trafficking and sex work (all minors are considered legally trafficked regardless if there is a trafficker and this obfuscates the root causes of underage sex work. Spoiler alert: it’s poverty), but I want it to be known that even at 15, I knew I was safer on the streets than I was at home, with a relative, in foster home, shelter, or juvenile detention. I had agency. I chose the safest option available to me, most people usually do. #SupportSurvivors #SupportWorkers #ResourcesNotArrests #HousingIsAHumanRight”

FUCK YOU AND YOUR BITTER JEALOUS LONELINESS HOWARD STERN
YES SO GOOD!!!!!
And she will be a completely different woman, but that’s alright.
Most folks with this guy’s mindset will go far in life.
I’m still proud of the fact that a couple of years ago, I tweeted to Sarah Michelle Gellar and asked if Stern had paid up on his bet. To my great surprise, she actually replied and said he hadn’t and he owed them money. 😂😂
Those articles also blame millennial and gen z kids for not know but bitch who is running the curriculum in schools? Who is making the text books?
