Unpopular opinion that shouldn’t be unpopular: anti-bullying programs in school that don’t address the root causes of bullying - which are almost invariably larger forms of bigotry and oppression like racism, ableism and homophobia - are completely useless and ultimately futile.

[tsfhhjfdhhjsdfh-deactivated2018]

kids get bullied, frequently, because they’re “weird”. but it just so happens that the traits society calls “weird” are overwhelmingly related to poverty, minority religion or ethnicity, neurodivergence, non-straight sexuality, and gender non conformance. 

funny, that.

I know it sounds like a joke, but “the agriculture lobby” is actually a major part of the reason we don’t have laws that focus more on exploited agricultural workers rather than people doing sexual labour. #sexwork #labourrights

Can you even imagine the havoc it would cause if he deported farm workers? We would all starve. Literally, we would run out of food unless companies could employ Americans just as quickly. They probably can’t because they wouldn’t be able to get away with treating people as poorly as they do the migrants who grow our food.

[workingitinportland-deactivated]

That is LITERALLY true.

Not to sound like that guy from Parks and Rec but having worked at the Bureau of Labour AND having done research into trafficking—even the companies that treat their workers LEGALLY are paying starvation wages; there are hundreds and hundreds of farm that depend on a mix of exploited and uncoerced labour.

The government has made it incredibly hard for trafficked workers to get justice: IF they are able to get away and report it, they then have to stay in the same geographic location (often dangerous) AND if they aren’t citizens or in the states on a work visa they aren’t allowed to work, but the gov’t isn’t paying their rent or bills or food,

and THEN often ICE will deport such workers because god knows deporting them is way more important than forcing unethical motherfuckers to abide by the law and keeping track of and punishing those who don’t.

[mockiato-deactivated20200315]

And another thing is, agriculture businesses—both plant and animal—often have arrangements with the local law. So they’re given a heads up when a raid is going to happen, and they’re allowed to voluntarily report certain individuals. This allows ‘problem’ workers who have spoken up to each other or supervisors about poor conditions (including assault by documented bosses.)

A small handful of people have their lives destroyed, allowing the companies to say they’re fully cooperative with law enforcement and fluffing out the officers’ quotas by deporting obvious risks to safety like ‘middle aged parent working long hours for little pay to feed their kids.’

And all without harming production. A true capitalist marvel, where everyone benefits, except the exploited workers.

THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM

[ultrafacts]

Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]

[retro-geek-deactivated20220412]

For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
