Bitches, I've got a doozy of a story for you! I work at a manufacturing facility with lots of locations nationwide and internationally. Our field is competitive with several other companies, many of which also have facilities in the same area. My company also notoriously underpays its workers as far as the local work goes (can't speak for other locations, cuz I don't know).

Well, back in April, the whole top echelon (president, CEO, etc) came to speak to us in a company-wide meeting. The CEO talked about the growth of the company, blah blah blah. At the end, they asked if anyone had any questions, and when no one else did, I stood up.

I've been following you Bitches for years, and this particular day had been absolute hell on a personal level from the word go, so at this point, my give a damn was broken beyond repair. I looked the CEO dead in the eye and told him the reason the company has such a problem with retention (he *just* mentioned it) is because we're by far the lowest-paid company in the area. I also told him that the way it usually works is that we hire someone, they get a little experience, then they leave to the competition for a drastic increase in pay. (You can only imagine how loud 300-400 production workers are, let me tell you!)

Well, the CEO gave what sounded like a bunch of corporate political waffling, so no one expected anything to come of it.

BUT WAIT!

Last week, on the same day I started in a new position (with a hefty raise), everyone got letters stating how much their pay was increasing! And the starting pay jumped up significantly to compete with the other companies nearby!

It felt really good to be able to tip the dominoes to help everyone out. 😊

OH MY FUCKING STARS AND STRIPES!

You are a beacon of light, an explosion of goodness. You just did something HUGE for everyone you work with... AND somehow the company as well?!?! We're unbelievably proud of you.

Never doubt that you can make a difference, bitchlings. By stating an uncomfortable truth, this baby bitch just improved the lives of every single person they work with AND helped their employer with worker retention. You've changed your community and industry for the better and we're just over the moon with pride.

Ayyyyyy good for you bitch!

I just did something similar! (Though I did it privately and via email, because I named some specific examples of the higher ups being horribly disrespectful, argumentative, and idiotic).

I was shaking when I left the office that day, but Monday morning I got confirmation from a friend who still worked there that the managing shareholder was creating an open anonymous suggestion box, and changing their work from home policy (both huge deals there, the place is still stuck in the stone ages).

It's not your significant pay raise for the whole company (once again, holy shit!), but another example of how speaking up CAN do something.

Lirin: *exposes his children to gore and dead bodies as soon as they learn to walk*

Lirin: why is my son so fucking weird

[stormlight-archive]

Real talk, kaladin, buddy thats where the trauma started bro. Not tien

[knight-of-skyloft]

Teaching kids about death and the human body is pretty well-adjusted parenting, honestly. Lirin is treated with suspicion by the other villagers because they mystify medicine and surgery ("it's not natural to look at a man's insides"). Idk, I think bringing Kaladin on as an assistant was a perfectly fine move.

[stormlight-archive]

I know you transcribed this for lirin

[knight-of-skyloft]

Idk who this Lirin guy is but he sounds morally upright and also sexy. Anyway gotta go. [sound of medical tools clattering in background] Hesina they're on to us!!!

welcome to carrie does fanart for a non-existent fandom. The Martian is one of my top 3 books, if not my number 1. So I just went ahead and did little basic character sketches of the crew and attempted a one page comic with dialogue straight from the book. Would've worked better as a 2 pager comic but I didn't have the time for that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Martian would make a cool graphic novel I think, I'd like to see it that's for sure!

BTW for anyone too lazy to do the math a wage of $125 a day works out to about $15/hour for an 8-hour workday so….. someone in 1923 definitely had a vision of the future

i hate when people are like “don’t dye your hair at home it’s going to look bad!” that’s the whole fucking point i think looking like shit is sexy, why don’t you recognise the inherent classicism behind societal standards or mind your business

be healthily sensitive. tell them you're hurt when you're hurt. describe what hurt you. no silent treatment and passive aggressiveness. be honest. don't compromise your emotion. don't bottle it up. weigh the issue. understand and maybe, forgive.

[kuronekochantomidorime]

And for people who are used to being shut down when they do this, you are doing the right thing. You are not "too sensitive" for communicating your feelings just because the people around you don't respect them. There are people out there who will.

hey kid. i know this lab is scary, but the punishment isn’t for you. i’ve got a guy coming in who likes ben shapiro. i know, right? anyway, all i need you to do is explain your gender identity to him in detail. don’t worry, he’ll be bound and gagged. you can leave once you’re done i just needed some help.

Another thing about the importance of parasites and other “pesky” organisms is that they are a non-stop irritation to almost all other animals on the planet…..and the impact of that cannot possibly be overstated. It affects EVERYTHING those animals do. It even affects what they look like and how they’re shaped. The clouds of biting midges breeding in a marsh are going to affect how long an animal stops to graze on wetland greenery and how much of that greenery it takes. Explosions of mosquitoes that follow a wet season are what drive larger herd animals to seek drier prairies and meadows, allowing a completely different set of animals and plants to surge. Population booms of ticks and lice drive animals to practice mud-wallowing, social grooming, population splits and even mass migrations. Flies are the entire reason zebras have stripes. These are just a couple of examples, but basically the whole face of our planet looks the way it does because some of the tiniest animals are constantly pissing off the largest.
