This is what's so fucked up about "nothing that requires the labor of others is a human right".
The labor is already being done under capitalism. The laborers are already being underpaid under capitalism.
When you propose removing the greedy profiteers and paying the workers a reasonable wage, people call that "slavery" while they have no problem with the current system.
They're not even trying to make sense.
i have a suggestion
Ownership meant a physical copy. Now you own nothing and can't find what you want across multiple streaming platforms.
Bring back headphones that plug in. Bring back expandable memory. Bring back owning media.
I just had to collect all of these responses together in one place
Edit: And one from my friend, who doesn't have a tumblr (yet)
#i keep waiting for someone to address the '18th century looms were huge' claim#like sure some were#but the fact that textile mills had been invented doesn't mean that all home weaving ceased#indeed people still weave for fun or profit in this the 21st century#smaller looms were still being built and used in the 18th century just as smaller looms are still being built and used today#and that's without considering the existence of inkle/tape/band looms which were/are used for making narrower woven ribbons for trimming etc#small 18th century looms absolutely exist
there are thousands of notes and a few people ABSOLUTELY addressed this xD
I wanna add mine! But it still has some assembling to do before I can move on to the next step
...Okay this place *is* better than Reddit.
My wife did a lot of hand crafts while we were dating. After we got engaged, my father piped up that at least she didn't have a spinning wheel. We put it in the doorway the first time my parents came to visit.
Her loom is packed away at the moment so she can work on an uncountable number of knitting projects and metalwork at the moment.
Fibercrafts.
Not even once. You start with "Oh, I'd love to learn the drop spindle" And the next minute your home office is occupied by a loom, you're planting flax in the garden, and considering the logistics of owning an alpaca.
Zohran Mamdani is using New York City to show the world how progressive policies work for everyone. #DemocraticSocialist
you can’t support autistic people and support the police. No amount of paint jobs or sensitivity training can stop police from killing with impunity
And fuck the jigsaw puzzle imagery advanced by the eugenicists at Autism Speaks. We’re not a “puzzle” to be “solved“
Half of all people killed by cops have a disability, because cops aren’t trained to recognize or deal with people with disabilities and very few places have people who are trained for those situations easily accessible during emergencies. So the cops come in and do what they’re paid to do - murder anyone who’s inconvenient to the state
All of this except:
More training absolutely will not and cannot reduce the number of disabled people cops kill.
Cops kill members of vulnerable populations because they can get away with it and are even incentivized to do so, not because they need more funding to learn to recognize and interact nicely with members of a vulnerable population.
A lot of these murders happen after a police officer was explicitly informed about the victims’ disability (see the case above!) and “wellness checks” on disabled people with their disability as the explicit reason for the call are frequently violent. In some wellness checks, police start firing without saying a single word to the victim.
Having disability experts available doesn’t help—see the case above where the police killed the social worker lying on the ground with his hands up!!
The issue is the incentives, not ignorance or insufficient funding. “More training” just means more funding, and we should be pushing for interventions that reduce police funding and their incentives to do harm instead.
Philando Castile: murdered for misinterpreting unclear orders
Sonya Massey: murdered for saying something that was interpreted as a threat
I don’t know if they’re autistic. They may not be. But they were both killed for something that could easily be an autistic trait, and they’re both evidence that police are a mortal danger to autistic people.
If you support the police, you can take your “autism awareness” and shove it up your ass.
And no, I'm not being intolerant, you're being a shitwit.
MEXICO WIN!!! FUCK AI!!!
A few months before he passed away in 2003, a 74 year old children’s television host sat down in the same studio where he had filmed 895 episodes over 33 years and recorded one last message. It wasn’t for children. It was for the adults who had grown up watching him.
Fred Rogers hosted Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood on American public television from 1968 to 2001. For over three decades he walked into the same set, changed into a cardigan and sneakers, looked directly into the camera, and spoke to children as if each one of them was the only person in the room. He never raised his voice, never talked down to his audience, and never rushed a single moment.
In that final recording, he looked into the camera one last time and said “I’m just so proud of all of you who have grown up with us. And I know how tough it is some days to look with hope and confidence on the months and years ahead. But I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are.”
He passed away from stomach cancer on February 27, 2003. He was 74.
Sometimes you're in your 50s and still need a dose of courage from Mr. Rogers when the world feels scary.
I will forever miss Fred Rogers. RIP
