I genuinely wish people would stop engaging in algospeak when it comes to topics where discussion can legitimately be diluted by it. I don't know how to drill it into your head that censoring "rape" and "sexual assault" is extremely counterproductive no matter how much discomfort reading the words brings you.

What's crazy is now incels will make rape jokes but replace "rape" with the grape emoji like we are in a hellscape where everything is censored yet everything is reactionary

i hate that i have to do this but i have been in the midst of what my psychiatrist tells me is a "severe episode" all while my job is slashing my hours. i have to get new meds and pay rent- i'm about $900 out from being able to do either of those. i have no choice but to ask for help.

i have sold plasma already. i have sold my belongings. i have been applying to jobs like crazy but it just isn't panning out. please help me, even just a buck or two. anything given will go straight toward medication, rent, and gas, with anything over the goal going to groceries. i don't mean to be pitiful but my family will hurt me and homelessness in texas is dangerous especially in the summer. thank you all so, SO MUCH for your help in the past, i am so close to getting out of this hellhole.

commissions will be done as soon as i can finish them. please give me patience while i claw my way back to being human again. thank you

Tumblr users discussing rap music is the new Plato's Allegory of the Cave

aleshakills

They see the shadow of rap music cast on the wall by their conservative parents and confuse it for the real thing

Whatttt is with the tendency of Tumblr users to seek absolution from every single person who offhandedly posts about disagreeing with something they do

I say this not unkindly, but firmly: to function as a member of a social species, you have to get comfortable with the idea that not everyone will like you

“Freedom” in America is known to the Black man. Here it is — Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

Death by spreadsheet is an acceptable degree of separation for most in middle management. They can sleep at night without guilt for what they've done, because the system charitably setup twelve degrees of separation between their choices and the real-world harm. But do not be fooled, their choices set that harm into motion. Without their reckless disregard for human life, the harm would not be done.

I used to work at a TV station in Ohio. On weekends, we only had an 11pm news broadcast. Not much happened on weekends, ya know? I worked Monday-Friday 9-5, but someone on the weekend shift quit, so I also had to come in at 9pm on Sat/Sun to work the 11pm news. It was brutal. I worked seven days a week, even if two of them were ~3hrs.

This was a particularly bad winter. One Saturday, we had a level 2 snow emergency: That means you should only travel if you absolutely must. Like, it's not uncommon for cops to pull you over in level 2 emergencies to ask where you're going and why. It is genuinely dangerous to drive in that much snow.

I told my boss as much, how I almost crashed on the way home at 12:30am after a news broadcast. I told him I would need to call off if there were a snow emergency again during a night snow.

He told me, point blank, "If you ever call me about the goddamn snow, I will take it as a call of resignation."

And that was that! The very next Saturday, snow fell again. It was a level 2, but would become level 3 by sunup. Level 3 means driving is literally illegal except for ambulances and snow plows. I stared out the window, watching the snow, and I had to make a choice.

"Will I die for this? Will I kill myself to keep this job?" I made $11/hr.

Yes, managers work you to death. That's their job.

Every single labor protection is written in the blood of those who were literally worked to death, and business owners and profiteers would claw those protections back with glee if they could. They will squeeze every red cent from your body if they are allowed, and write off your death for an insurance payout that they'll try to pocket for themselves while hiring your replacement for half the pay they gave to you.
