homeless people are part of your community!!!!! get with it!!!!!!!!!!!!! they’re not outside interlopers they’re not invaders they’re not vermin. homeless people = people deprived of homes, they are Victims and you should be angry on their behalf because people are being deprived of shelter in Your Community

cumdumpstiel

no one deserves homelessness and no one brought it on themself, not even alcoholics and drug addicts and unmedicated/uncooperative/“unreasonable” mentally ill people

if a person does not have access to appropriate shelter and is forced to either try to find a homeless shelter that isn’t full to capacity AND won’t abuse them/put them in danger, or live and sleep in public areas (which is literally criminalized like….. everywhere)

they have been purposely deprived. basic human needs are being used against them, the necessities for human life are being withheld from them and they don’t deserve that. if u have been or are currently homeless, you didn’t and don’t deserve that

so listen, it’s far beyond me to feel comfortable doing this kind of thing but uh… guess who’s gettin thrown out of her home? my story is basically that my dad got pancreatic cancer when i was sixteen. i dropped out of high school around that time. ive been the main caretaker, errand-doer, and emotional support since then. he passed away a few months ago - which, while extremely sad, has given me the chance to start living my own life. unfortunately my mother has decided that, after less than a year doing my own thing, i have to get my shit together and have a) the money to pay for a place to live b) a place to live within five months.

we live with my fiancee who moved here from rough circumstances (with the explicit promise of my mother that it was ok) who is also included in this. however both of us are disabled, have mobility issues and serious anxiety issues so typical jobs arent so much an option. right now im working part-time (since retail is all i can do w my education background and i have severe chronic pain due to EDS, and my limbs kinda dislocate at will so that’s not ideal) but its minimum wage and im just simply not making very much. were working on creative stuff thatll hopefully bring money one day but its fickle as hell, you know how it is.

my dad left me money but my mother has taken all of it. she refuses to allow me any access to the money he left me. we had enough money to live before he died, but shes started spending huge amounts of money at once on frivolous shit. she refuses to work. im 90% she doesnt want me to make money for myself but wants me to pay for her stuff because thats what my dad did. shes extremely volatile emotionally and can go from adoring us one second to being cold and cruel, shes overtly selfish, and shes honestly exacerbating both of our anxiety issues because of this

she previously told us shed help us out with money but has since rescinded the offer and started pushing us harder and harder to leave. shes also like, actively abusive toward our cat, which is driving me up the wall

anyway, sorry for how long this has gotten. long story short i really need help right now.

Democrats continue, an entire year later, to harass a woman who won only 1% of the vote & 0 electoral votes instead of just admitting that their candidate was shitty as fuck (in fact, the MOST unpopular Democratic candidate in polling history)

popgoth

So as many of you know the previous kickstarter for the popgoth tarot failed. But after some consultation we’ve decided to relaunch one more time for one final push. The popgoth tarot is a deck I made to bring together aspects of both goth and pop culture, with representations of people from all spectrums. This deck is perfect for beginners, advanced, anyone looking to expand their collection and their intuitive power. We’ve got 30 days to make 2k, and if we get to 4k, I’ll be releasing a full length tarot guidebook including tarot spells and spreads. This deck has been my personal beacon of light through this dark year, I hope it can be yours too. If this kickstarter succeeds, there will be a giveaway for a free copy of this deck, and everyone who reblogs this, will secure themselves an entry. So help spread this and support me by reblogging!!!! (and backing if you can) every reblog gets us closer to making this deck an acessible reality to everyone!!!! This is it. The final push.

How to destroy an informed public:

1) Squeeze the public’s ability to take time to question information and think critically.

2) Defund publicly held broadcasting.

3) Flood information channels with misdirection and misinformation.

4) Popularize the idea that every side to an idea, debate, or ideology has at least some claim to legitimacy.

5) Declare knowing right from wrong and fact from fiction is impossible.

URGENT WOMEN AND MEN ON STRIKE FOR 1 MONTH NEED YOUR HELP

POTCOMMUN LINK : https://www.lepotcommun.fr/pot/smk9h0kl DONATE HERE

In the train stations of the North of Paris, the women and men employed ONET* have been on strike for one month to protest against the awful working conditions they have to endure, and the ridiculous amount of money given to them to eat each day at their workplace (1,90€, that they want to raise up to 4€). They are in charge of cleaning up the train stations in Paris and its suburbs — most of them have worked as cleaning agents in the train stations for more than 20 years, and this is their first strike. These people are mostly immigrant women, they’re not white, most of them have families and kids to support, and they will not be paid anything for the month they spent on strike.

Their situations are already extremely precarious and not getting one full month of salary will have disastrous consequences for their lives and the lives of the people relying on their salaries.

They set up a « pot commun », which is a french crowdfunding website that allows you to donate to them to support them and their families.

Last Friday (01/12/2017), they suffered police repression in one of those trains stations and we now fear that because of the police violence they won’t be able to hold on for much longer, on what has already been a very long strike. Not only are they risking their employer not to accept their demands, they are also likely to lose their jobs afterwards.

This situation is absolutely critical and this is why i’m begging you to donate anything you can, or reblog and share this if you cannot donate.

POTCOMMUN LINK : https://www.lepotcommun.fr/pot/smk9h0kl DONATE HERE

All you have to do is write the amount of money you want to donate in Euros,click the pink button « participer », fill up your « prénom » (name), « nom » (surname), and email, and click « participer » again at the bottom of the page. Then you fill up your card information : « numéro de carte » means card number, « expire fin » is the expiration date, and « cryptogramme visuel » is the 3 numbers in the back of your card. You will then be redirected to your bank confirmation page if your bank requires it. Potcommun is a known website in France and it’s 100 % secure. That’s it ! It’s extremely quick and it will help a lot of people. I’m not sure if every non-french cards work, but please give it a try and if not, share this anyway.

If you live in France you can send a check to the Syndicat Sud Rail de Paris Nord or come directly to give some cash to the strikers in the Saint Denis train station if you live in this area. You can contact them with this number : 0626948127.

About this topic you can check those articles (in French) :

Pourquoi les étudiants doivent soutenir la grève des agents de nettoyage d'ONET

Video de Révolution Permanente

*SNCF (the public company in charge of French railways) uses subcontracting to hire cleaning agents. Subcontracting allows them to not pay their agents the salary that would be due to someone working in a public service. ONET, a subcontracting company known for its violence against women and lack of ethics (they have already made headlines when a number of women working for them accused their superiors of sexual harassment), is the one in charge of cleaning SNCF’s train stations.

eco-socialism

If anything, the fact that most of the world’s people don’t have qualitative access to the fruits of education and technology works in capitalism’s favor. If all people had a sufficient education in this day and age, and archaic conceptions of intellectual property were abolished, we’d see constant creative booms in STEM and the arts. This would mean that sustainable technologies and labor-saving automation could be improved upon nigh-exponentially. In turn, a scenario like that would lay capitalist contradictions more visible for the lower classes of the world to see, and the system’s longevity would be put in jeopardy. Capitalism benefits from having a dispossessed, impoverished workforce that will accept whatever wage on offer, alongside the “unlimited” extraction process of capital accumulation that needs a society of dependent consumers; capitalism is not in the business of making itself obsolete.

notyourmoderate

It’s kind of funny how much effort the Powers That Be put into restricting access to information. It’s not a finite resource and it’s not prone to devaluation. A PhD in chemical engineering doesn’t become less valuable if you double the number of chemical engineering doctorates. It doesn’t do less or apply less. Information and education can be reproduced nearly infinitely nearly effortlessly. Imagine how easy it would be for every textbook to be released as a pdf and for every college professor to post all of their lectures as a youtube series. We would allow everyone to reach their desired level of education for free with no boundaries. But, nobody would make any money off of this. It would involve giving away for free what could be rationed out for dear. And so despite the fact that it would instantly and unequivocally make the world a universally better place, it doesn’t happen because nobody makes enough profit to make it happen.

This is also why we see people coming up with cures for diseases all the time but never see the treatments in action. They stand to make more money if they keep you sick and on medication. They give you a band-aid solution which leaves you coming back for a new band-aid again and again. Same thing with phones and other personal technology. They have the tools to make the perfect phone and they know exactly what the people want from their devices based on reviews and complaints. From a capitalist perspective, it makes more sense to make subtle changes every year and keep increasing the price. One of the most effective ways to increase profits is to impede progress.

garbageflowers-deactivated20250

but when they DO find a way to get the treatments in action, the FDA gives them special protections to have a monopoy on the product so the pharm companies buy up all these patents then sell their medicine at extremely high prices since they have a monopoly on the medicine.

It’s also worth pointing out here that, as well as the obvious examples such as exorbitant healthcare costs and restrictions on education, there are a number of less obvious ways in which capitalism halts progress as well.

America has no effective public transportation system, unlike developed countries with strong social welfare systems such as Japan, Germany and France. As a result, in nearly every American city it is more efficient for commuters to drive to work, and this causes tremendous traffic jams, which are incredibly wasteful and unproductive.

There are also the incredibly insidious ways in which corporate lobbying prevents America from adopting more efficient technologies. There is an excellent article below which highlights the ways the coal industry in Ohio has lobbied against adopting green power, even as the cost of green power becomes increasingly inexpensive. It just goes to show how capitalism isn’t interested in economic gain- only in short-term economic gain, which is something entirely different.

tbh the logic behind giving companies rights over scientific discoveries (if you don’t give them an incentive they won’t invest in research)makes sense until you think about a, how much public money goes into r+d (innovation doesnt really depend on for-profit companies) and b, how easy it is for individuals to innovate nowadays, even with limited resources. every article about a group of teenagers making solar-powered tents for the homeless or a rubik’s cube for blind people is an argument against the idea that innovation comes from high-tech labs (which again, companies aren’t paying for anyway)

It’s so crazy how like….engrained the violence from capitalism is in society. Like so many deaths and so much pain can be linked directly back to it and it’s viewed as like…normal that is so wild

oncelerfucker69-deactivated2019

It’s all because of the capitalist idea that wealth (and therefore power) is based on merit, so people assume if you’re in a position of financial power you earned it and it’s within your rights to do whatever you want with that wealth and power. So, ironically, a lot of the people causing the most harm under capitalism see themselves as moral, and we’re taught to believe that too.

It’s how violence is justified under capitalism: If you experience it, there must be something wrong with you as an individual, and not the system we live under. That idea plays into social darwinism and helps reactionary movements. In fact arguably some of the philosophers who championed laissez faire capitalism (like Hans-Hermann Hoppe) are outright fascists. Capitalism is toxic in every way possible.

Can i note that, in addition to being beautiful there is a poetic practicality to the cone/ovoid shapes since in a arid environment, it massively decreases surface area and allows less sunlight to hit the tops of the buildings and therefore keeps the insides cooler, while the circular floor plan makes it more efficient to heat during cold nights

Guys

Don’t send emails using layouts to the FCC

They’re ignoring those ones, calling them ‘scams’ and ‘fake’

Don’t send emails using bots to the FCC

They’re calling them ‘spam’ and ‘not made by real people’

Don’t customize the layouts. Write your own from scratch. It takes a long time, but don’t take someone else’s. The FCC will ignore it. Make yours with you own words. Use everyday speech. Don’t worry about formality, if you got your grammar right and your tone correct, you’re good.

You can use your main email, a side email you might have, your parent’s email (if they allow that).

Remember to address THEIR stance on it - whether or not they support or reject keeping NN. Make sure you address YOUR stance and why you need it.

This isn’t a time to think about the fanfics and fanart. This isn’t a time to think about the fandoms, this is a time to think about the jobs. The schools. The hospitals. The ones in poverty, the ones hanging on the edge of the unemployment rate. The homeless, the jobless. The ones with needs, who can’t get out of the house and has to rely on the internet to order necessities like food, hygienics, clothing, and even medication.

It’s tempting to think of our fandoms. Without nn this blog goes dark, no more PJO posts other than what I manage to put in the queue (and even that will run out). No more Ponaa, MCGA, etc. But I can live without that - I can’t live without my school. NN being destroyed will destroy my future in education.

It’s time to take action if you haven’t. Send someone to them, if not for yourself than for the rest of the 320 million or so Americans.

I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-Nazi ones, which is great, but I felt like we needed one to show our support for the Jewish community.

bipolar-bubbeleh

all you goyim I follow - I see you reblogging this and it warms me.

ameerawritesstuff

do not reblog this unless you mean it. I have dealt with so much anti-semitism in my life and the number of times I get it from “open-minded liberals” is disturbing. Remember this summer when the Dyke Marches banned people for having a rainbow flag with a Star of David on it? I was accused of playing my “Jew card” too much when I tried to get my shitty goy roommate to stop making Auschwitz jokes.

Being anti-nazi does not equal support for the Jewish community. Do not claim you support Jews just because you recognize that Nazis are terrible. Surprise, we actually have more to us than the Holocaust!

If you DO support the Jewish community, reblog the crap out of this so people can feel safe!
