me and who

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

are people talking about the labor conditions at Taylor Farms yet? like the fact they use enslaved prisoners in their facilities?

are we drawing the connection between worker safety and consumer safety & public health yet?

are people demanding to see the conditions in this place that keeps making us sick? why are the enslaved workers not having the time to use the bathroom or to rest when ill? very few people would shit in front of their coworkers given any choice at all.

On the prisoners point:

Prisoners in the U.S. are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands

In a sweeping two-year investigation, The Associated Press found goods linked to prisoners wind up in the supply chains of everything from F

More on the health point:

If you ever hear the phrase "fascism is aesthetics as politics," that's what this post is talking about.

It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.

It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.

This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don't want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against "crime" because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.

[estrogenesis-vaporeongelion]

to be clear: the people organizing, funding, and directing the current fascist movement are motivated by material and ideological concerns beyond this, but for the average bandwagon chud who won't see any exploitative loot himself, the opportunity to take part in senseless cruelty that makes him feel powerful is the motivating reward

Just a life update, for anyone who cares. Two years ago, my husband had a great job, with insurance and everything. My health improved. We scrimped and saved and bought a house...old, not in great shape, but ours. And then everything went to hell. My husband was replaced with AI. When he lost his job, we lost our insurance. Immediately thereafter, SpyBoy got sick and we maxed out our credit cards trying to save him. Jonathan got a job unloading trucks at a grocery store. We lost SpyBoy. My health got steadily worse. J's job has kept him at 39 1/2 hours a week so they wouldn't have to give him insurance. And now they've cut him back to 2 days a week. We don't have a car, so he walks over a mile to work. There are no buses here, so he's limited to work within walking distance. We lost our food stamps. I was denied for disability, again. We divided our house in half and turned the other half into a rental apartment. We are drowning in credit card debt. We have no assistance. J makes less than a thousand dollars a month. I started my Etsy business back in February. I make funny little creatures, sparkly pride merch, magnets, and more! It's doing well, for a new business with no advertising budget. But not well enough. We are desperately trying to refinance the house, but it's a 50/50 proposition at this point, because of our low income. I've been trying to keep things together, but we're going under. It is 98 degrees here, feels like 117. And we're going to have our electricity cut off next week if I can't somehow find $389. Part of my disability is poor temperature regulation. If we lose the a/c, I'm going to end up in the hospital, which we can't afford. We're only a few months from losing the house at this point and ending up homeless. If anyone can help, I still have my entire library for sale: https://www.ebay.com/usr/featherinyourcapnola Here's my Etsy store: https://mardigoth.etsy.com

We have a gofundme: https://gofund.me/145eb9d3f

I have a kofi: https://ko-fi.com/idiomagic

I have a wishlist for cat stuff: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/BK56PZUL2A76/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2 If anyone can help at all, we would be so very grateful. Reblogs help so much! The past two years have been an unrelenting hell, one blow after another. Please, please help us.

okay new hunger games 6th book theory: mags was voted in during the 25th games and the (not confirmed) new book will be about her games and such. i just feel like the 25th games have yet to be fleshed out, only hinted at and we dont know much about mags in general, i feel like it could be intentional. shes def one of the oldest mentors and so what has she seen and what does she know?

[dramatic-dolphin]

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.
