because no one else will

one of the ancient ones. deep in my star wars era (which is eternal); lots of cloneposting. half feral. expect nothing. in this house we (still) love and respect Ratonhnhaké:ton. 30. she/her, but call me sir.

I like to make friends and I like talking to people but I'm bad at starting conversations and, as such, have no friends online. So if anyone would ever like to reach out and chat, feel free

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

[tpwrtrmnky]

The reason why "Not knowing about [X] leads to fascism" applies to so many different subjects btw, is that fascism is less of a structured political philosophy and more like "succumb to the worst of human impulses and knee-jerk reactions to provocations, let your biases guide you and embrace the dopamine rush of feeling powerful through cruelty" formalized into a political system

[tpwrtrmnky]

This is also why fascists keep investing in nonsense projects like really huge tanks. On an ideological level, fascism is the rejection of the idea that you have to think things through critically, so in the fascist logic, if the really huge tank failed it was the fault of the engineers who didn't try hard enough, not the concept of a really huge tank itself.

If the criminal justice system isn't making crime go away, to the fascist it just means the cops are too lazy and not punishing the bad guys hard enough.

The idea that the method needs to be tested and scrutinized is anathema to fascism, because it implies that the knee-jerk response to a perceived issue could be wrong.

Hanging out with people will make you remember you're the crazy woke friend for like. not wanting to shop at shien

[inkskinned]

Every day I handle more money than I will ever make. Every day.

At the start of my employment, my boss showed me videos of people stealing, and we both had a chuckle about it. How silly they were! There was a camera overhead, and it’s not to watch the shoppers. See, we can’t actually stop shoplifters. They get away with it maybe nine out of ten times. But we, who are watched and tallied and witnessed? We are always caught.

At first it was hard to hold one hundred dollars bills. An amount I had never seen before. An amount that didn’t exist in my household. It’s normal now. Here is something that is not for me.

“What the hell, I’ll take another,” says the man, pondering our 200 dollar watches. What the hell. Total comes to 580 and not even a flinch in his face. I have been working for 11 hours today and made only 110 dollars. It will go to my rent. Today I work for free, it feels. When I get my check, I will have 35 dollars left for food and saving.

The six hundreds he hands me go into the cash register. For a moment, I imagine having money. Then I put it away, counting out his change.

I know for a fact we sell our products for double what they are worth. That I could be making commission. That they could hand me those 580 dollars and change my life and not even mark the difference in their checkbooks. He’s not the only sale they make today, but I am the reason they made it. He’s not the only one spending 600 dollars, but if I hadn’t spent two hours with him telling me about his life, he wouldn’t have spent any. I go home. I don’t own a watch.

I have watched and rewatched a video on how to make salmon four ways. My shopping list is always the same. Pasta. Rice. Tuna. If I can afford butter it was a good week. I dream of the world I will never walk in, where I can throw the best fish fillet in the cart with a shrug. I hold hundreds in my hand and look up at the camera. I put them under the cash drawer.

I go to work. I scrap together my savings. I eat my bowl of rice slowly. My manager takes a paid week off from work just for his birthday. He owns a yacht. 

I’m not worth the cost of a watch.

i wrote this while i was working at orlando’s walt disney world parks.

i was part of their college program. i moved to the state for it. they legally owned the building i was living in and still charged me rent. i ostensibly was being charged to work for them. it was a 2 bedroom apartment and they placed 6 adult women in it in forced triples.

as many as one in ten disney employees have experienced homelessness while working for the company. despite huge efforts to unionize, strike, or otherwise demand fair treatment; disney has refused to increase employee quality of life.

disney admits publicly that a good portion of their success is because the employees (“cast members”) are dedicated, passionate, and selfless. this is never reflected in pay. even “face” characters (ie those that are princesses etc) make barely above a minimum wage.

at the time that i worked there, i made $8.50 an hour. at one point i was asked to create a human shield around a bag because a bomb dog had alerted to it. for eight fucking dollars an hour.

i now work a very cushy office job. i have bought the salmon and cooked it all four ways.

i go to the store. i am nice to the person behind the counter. she looks up at the camera while she counts out my change. there is nothing fundamentally different about her and i.

we are both worth more than the watch, anyway.
