IF YOU LIVE IN THE FOLLOWING STATES:

Alaska Alabama Arkansas Colorado Georgia Massachusetts Minnesota Oklahoma Tennessee Texas Vermont Virginia

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES TOMORROW (March 1st)

These are so crucial in our upcoming presidential election.

Candidates such as Bernie Sanders are losing by the smallest percentage due to lack of younger voter turn out.

PLEASE don’t let the older generations choose our next president. It’s OUR FUTURE to decide upon, not necessarily theirs.

Reblog to spread awareness, also tag your state and who you plan on voting for.

Thanks loves, and happy voting.

Freaking THIS

[stfueverything-deactivated20230]

Yes, that’s right, it’s obviously the worker’s fault, not the systemic and pervasive problem of crony capitalism. Duh. 

[heavenearthandhoratio]

Let me tell you some fun stories, OP. 

My best friend has a degree in early childhood education AND teaching home economics (there is an actual name for this degree, I just can’t remember it right now, she would kill me). Yes, she has an ~actual degree from a university~. I know it’s hard to believe, because we so adore thinking that everyone making minimum wage are barely high school graduates (as if there’s anything wrong with that). 

Here’s the thing though, she can’t get a job with her home-ec degree because all of the things she could be teaching (culinary arts for example) are being cut from school’s budgets. So they’re downsizing those teachers, not hiring more. 

So she uses her early childhood education degree, and she works at a preschool. Bear with me. I know it’s more fun to pretend that the only low-wage jobs in our country are in retail and fast food. Because it’s easier to look down on the people busting their asses to make sure you can shop and eat.  

She teaches her students their letters and numbers, how to write their names, counting and sharing and art. She gives her students a solid foundation to be able to enter elementary school. 

She makes $8 an hour. In the city she lives in, depending on what preschool she works at she could make anywhere from $8-10 and hour. It’s not a matter of skill, it’s not a matter of ‘rising above’. There is no above in a preschool, unless it’s the director. And someone making $16,000-$20,000 a year and working 40+ hours a week doesn’t really make enough to go back to school for their master’s degree just for the hopes of making $15. 

Before I got into my current field I worked at a different non-profit. Oooh, that’s right. A Non-profit organization. With my degree. I actually did ‘rise up’. I rose up as high as I could withing that organization. As high as ANYONE could, actually, without being either the Executive Director or Assistant Director. I went from making 7.25 to making 8.25. That’s right. I rose as HIGH AS I COULD GO and was still only making a dollar more than minimum wage. 

That wasn’t because of my skill, or my drive. I rose from the most entry level position to the position directly under the assistant director in THREE YEARS. But it didn’t matter because greed is everywhere, even in non-profits, and the AD and ED were making six figures a year while the rest of us were starving. The AD and ED were also the only people in the org allowed to work full time. This wasn’t because there wasn’t enough work, this was because they didn’t have to give us any insurance if we didn’t work full time hours. 

Greed is everywhere. THAT’s why people don’t have living wages. Corporations are making billions of dollars a year, their employees are getting their food from food banks.

Look at caregiver pay.  These people are taking care of Nana and can’t afford to live.  remember that next time you complain about staff “Ignoring” her.  Understaffed, overworked, and minimal wages, and they have licenses and certifications.

[mys-maialibre]

The entire state university system in my state is preparing to strike for a 5% wage raise because the average faculty salary is $45,000 - which works out to about $22/hr, taking winter and summer breaks into consideration - for 50-70 hrs/week of work. 

These are people with Masters and PhDs, people who worked their asses off to get to where they’re at, people who work their asses off on and off the clock to provide an education. These are tenured professors who have worked ~10 years without a raise. 

Don’t even get me started on K-12 educators.

[dead-blog-go-to-artgoddex-deact]

Not to mention someone should be able to work a single, minimum wage full time job and be able to afford a roof over their head, food, and basic household necessities like toilet paper and soap for AT LEAST themselves as one single person.

If you honestly believe the person who makes your food, teaches your kids, cleans your work/home, wipes your grandma’s ass so you don’t have to DOESN’T deserve to make at least just enough to stay alive, then you my friend don’t deserve to make a cent more than they do.

TV show idea: 

Baby boomers have to switch life situations with a millennial for a year. The millennial gets to live in their house (which they paid off like thirty or forty years ago) and work at their job that provides a good salary and benefits. The baby boomer has to live in the millennial’s shitty, overpriced apartment and struggle to pay rent and work a minimum wage part-time job as well as an unpaid internship in their (the baby boomer’s) field. 

The show can be called Switching Cribs and every time the baby boomer throws a tantrum a little cartoon of a baby crying appears in the corner of the screen.

[lilacbreastedroller]

one of the least helpful things ive been told as a neurodivergent person is “don’t half ass things”

if you can quarter ass something, do it! if all you can do is clean a corner of your room, or only read one of the two assigned chapters, or write the heading for your resume, or put all the papers for taxes in a pile, do it! if today isn’t a whole ass day, take pride in the portion of ass that you were capable of

don’t let neurotypicals work ethic define how you did today

Can some one fill in the blanks for me, between fanart and suicide?

[thesociaijusticecourier-deactiv]

She drew some nsfw or other questionable content - I don’t know I haven’t seen it personally because it’s irrelavant what she drew, in my opinion. Anyways, the ridiculously over PC and SJW masses decided that she was a bad person because of the things she drew and decided to create several accounts such as zamiisucks, and zamii070attendingprosecutor, then proceeded to bully and harass her from multiple accounts until they pushed her to desperate measures.

In short they tried to kill her and almost succeeded. Because of her art. They pushed her to kill herself because she drew pictures they didn’t like.

SMH I still can’t wrap my mind around that
