Not a Khaleesi, a Queen @vanillachaimocha - Tumblr Blog

Image of a text that reads: In conversation with some coworkers, today, one of them said that homeless people should have to work for their meals just like the rest of us.

I said, "Okay, I know a man who is homeless. He'd be happy to work. He's got a business degree. He would be happy to come clean your house, do your yard work, or help you with your filing, walk your dogs, babysit your kids, or just about any office job. What time tomorrow should he come see you?"

They all just looked at me.

I said, "Mind you, he's homeless, so he hasn't showered in a while and the only clothes he has are the ones on his back because he lost all his stuff last week when ge got picked up for vagrancy and they wouldn't let him go back for his bag. It would be a few weeks before what you are paying him is enough to get shelter and such."

And still they stared at me.

I finished, "See? It isn't that easy. He can't get a job because he's homeless with no access to hot water or clean clothes. He can't get access to shelter, hot water or clean clothes without a job. You want him to work for his meals? Give him a hand out of the vicious circle. Stop pretending that all he has to do is get a job."

Unhoused people are not intruders into our communities, they are our communities’ failure to take care of their own.

Also u need a address to have a bank account and you can’t save money without somewhere to put it and carrying checks or cash is not an option

and this is the perfect example of when you know what the punchline will be from the very beginning and are still absolutely shocked at what you see

Every time i see a post or tweet about twilight being gay culture or hilarious I just think about how the Quileute tribe of Washington had to set up a website specifically to combat racist misinformation that was being spread about their history and customs by stephenie meyer. Like she really just took an existing group of people with millennia of actual history and an actual mythos and culture and then just made shit up to fit her sexy mormon abstinence only tract

Donate to help the Quileute Nation move their culture and community center to higher ground now that climate change is threatening their current infrastructure.

Let’s be clear, also, Meyer’s racism towards the Quileute tribe isn’t just an accident/ the result of generic white and settler ignorance about Indigenous people in America.

Mormon teaching is that the Indigenous peoples of the world (and potentially all non-white people) are the descendants of Cain, marked for Hell by birth. The Church teaches that the only way to “redeem” Indigenous peoples (and bipoc) in general is by colonizing them and their land, converting them to be second-class members of the church, and then committing genocide by diluting their blood lines by intermarrying them with white people.

In the Twilight books, Edward and Bella are supposed to represent the perfect mormon couple. They don’t have sex before marriage and when Bella gets pregnant she refuses to abort her baby even though having the child will literally kill her.

It’s no mistake that the main Quilleute character in the book marries the child of the idealized virtuous mormon couple.

The books are explicitly genocidal in nature. Repeatedly the Cullen’s demand that the Quilleutes/ wolves compromise their culture and their values/ the treaty they signed. By the end of the books Jacob and his closest friends leave their people/ their pack to become part of the Cullen’s family.

Twilight is fundamentally white supremacist and pro-genocide, because Mormonism is fundamentally white supremacist and genocidal.

They really love rewriting history, trust 40 years from now they’ll fake that everyone supported Colin Kaepernick the way how they faking now that everyone supported Muhammad Ali

gomez addams is the dream friend. id kill to have that dude in my corner. like if he found out my company closed cuz of covid he’d just give me 5k a month until “you get back on your feet, old boy”. I’d have to sword fight him like twice a week but then I’d just get better at sword fighting. literally what is the downside

Unions are trash. Theyll Destroy a whole company for firing a shitty worker.

gorgonsach

unions are the reason you aren’t paid 2.50 an hour with steel beams about to bust ya head open shut up lol

explorerrowan

Unions are why you have 5 day, 40 hour full-time work weeks. Unions are why they have to pay you in actual dollars instead of “company credits” that you can only spend at the company-owned stores. Unions are why there are fucking fire exits at your place of work. Unions are why it’s not okay for your supermarket ground beef to be any percentage human.

You think your company pays you out of the goodness of their hearts? Or even out of “market pressure?” The “job market” is a myth perpetuated by the capitalists. Corporations would pay you nothing if they could get away with it. And you argue “oh, but if they paid me nothing I’d just go to another one.” Wrong. Because to maximize profits, they all want to pay you nothing. Corporations exist to maximize profits while reducing risk for investors. It’s part of their entire function to find ways to cut costs as much as possible, and that includes finding ways to pay you nothing.

Unions are your defense against that. You think all a union does is strike? If you pay union dues, a lot of that is spent on lobbyists in various governments reminding your lawmakers that you have rights as a living human being that a corporation should not be able to stomp all over. Unions hire lawyers so that if you’re fired for bullshit reasons, the union can stand up for you against your boss. They’re called unions because workers are uniting to pool resources so that they can stand up to these corporate overlords with more money than God. Unions exist because you might not have the words, resources, or time to fight workplace injustices all by yourself. That’s the whole fucking point.

And if a business shuts down because a union is striking, it’s because the business was abusing people and didn’t deserve to be in business anyway. Don’t make excuses for the corporations. They already have trillions of dollars and a couple million lawyers to do that for themselves. They don’t need your help.

The erasure of labor history from US history curriculum has caused so much fucking damage to this country.

I found this on tiktok and I laughed so hard so I thought I’d share on here

It’s so chaotic I love it

the-privateer

just so you guys are all aware, the only reason gritty exists is allegedly because the NHL made a rule that every team HAD to have a mascot and were apparently assholes about it. so the fliers made him as a chaotic fuck you. hell the first tweet made on his official account was a “sleep with one eye open” threat towards another mascot for making fun of his design

0v9

are we not going to talk about how he launched an entire sheetcake into that man’s face, probably killing him?

adamsmasher

in case anyone was curious, here’s how it went down here in Philadelphia the moment he was introduced to the world

Us: “what the fuck is that thing, it’s hideous, send it back” Everyone else: “what the fuck is that thing, it’s hideous, send it back” Us: “how DARE you, fuck you, gritty is antifa and also our hero. he’s been here since before our ancestors descended from the trees and he’ll be here long after the earth is dead and barren and if you EVER talk shit about our prodigal son we will throw a sheet cake in your face, instantly killing you.”
