I know this is supposed to be funny, but does it horrify anyone else that social media is being used by employers to monitor how happy we are to be slaves to capitalism and if we aren’t 1000% enthusiastic about having to work, you’re immediately terminated? He says “Good luck with your no money, no job life” but the implication is pretty clear–”Good luck starving to death because you didn’t live to serve me/my company” 

So if you express a feeling about your job/working/capitalism on your own social media space that doesn’t please your employers, you’re punished.

Holy fuck

This is some dystopian shit right here

This is actually illegal in the US, by the way. There’s a thing called the National Labor Relations Act that protects your right to complain about your job (the reasoning being if you can’t complain you can’t find other employees with similar complaints to start a union with).

If this happens to you, you should file a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board. Source: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2013/01/complaining_about_your_job_on_facebook_the_national_labor_relations_board.html

The initiative was begun by Ashley Scott and Renee Walters, two Black women who wanted to build a safe space for their own families.

"We needed to create a space and a place where we could be a village, again, a tribe, again," Scott said. "We wanted to create this safe space where we can address our own issues and concerns."

Do you only care about Black Women post-mortem?

Jennifer is alive & asking for help. We need eyes on her case as things progress. This shit doesn't accidentally continue for 2+ yrs. Cops claim they can do nothing, which is directly a lie.

#standwithjennifer

She has video recordings & pictures evidence on her instagram, she has even won a court case against her neighbor (due to Jennifer getting tickets from the dog shit the neighbor threw into her yard) yet the neighbor remains & continues to harass. This same neighbor pulled similar tactics to push the previous owner, another woman of color, out as well.

I lived at a place once with toxic neighbors. They too left dogshit at my door a few times. Idk what beef they had with me personally since we both were white & hardly exchanged any words. But i know it's not ok to not feel welcome at your own home. Jennifer not only feels unwelcomed, she doesn't even feel SAFE at her property that she OWNS.

Please stand with jennifer & help keep her safe.

This wasn’t a government stunt to try and avoid doing something meaningful, but a coming together of community artists who did it for free. Which is why it’s the best.

[swordshapedleaves]

And it’s not even finished in that shot!

It really is stunning art. I hope they keep this block closed to vehicles for a long time.

I love how the right wing is all “It’s Anarchy! It’s terrorism! They’re burning everything down! They must be stopped! Send in the military!”

Meanwhile the moment people are allowed to do what they want, the first things they do are…

Make art and plant a garden.

[ID: 1) An overhead video of Black Lives Matter painted down the middle of a public street in Seattle in large letters. Every letter is a separate brightly colored piece of colored art. 2) A Tweet by James Saint-Franc @sirjamesa12 “Every single letter was designed by black artists from the Seattle area.” 3) A still shot of the same street art completed. It is even more brightly colored.]
