Precisely. It’s why I reject being too strict about ruling out judgement due to “signs of the times”. In the famous words of Parenti, ancient Greece actually had a whole segment of the population opposed to slavery. They were called slaves.

To hell with any ban, workers united can never be defeated

Weird how even in this comment section, forming a union was never mentioned

As someone who has masked both neurodivergence and sexuality, it’s not worth it. It will be challenging to navigate our biased and unaccommodating world, but the challenges pale in comparison to true happiness. Happiness is always fleeting, so seeking a negative peace pretending to be something you’re not is a fool’s errand. Hiding yourself will only ever lead to pain and mental anguish.

At the very least, we’re doing our damnedest to fill the ocean with carbonic acid

Damn sounds like the rebuild will be a nail biter! Hope it goes well, good luck and god speed. Toss in a couple hail Satan’s too, you’ll need all the help you can get

Hope you kept a good backup

It’s fun to laugh at sovcits and I know we’re dealing with unreliable narrators, but I think there’s some legitimacy to this person’s objections about their treatment by police. Trying to seize the gun in TX is a big one to me.

Maybe it’s just years of labor organizing, but I’m deeply unsettled by this for some reason. Surrounding the consumers on all sides with crosshairs centered on them gives me a bad vibe.

I’m a union organizer, so I got to see some truly golden moments. My favorite was during a campaign, we took over a Q&A session with a member of the C-suite present. In a previous meeting he tried to convince me of some bs, so I asked him directly “why did you lie to me?” during this take over. The look on his face was priceless, and it took him over a minute to respond pathetically with “I don’t appreciate being called a liar”

Hmmm

Belle is Beau’s wife. She’s taken over the channel because he’s taking an indefinite break to recover from burn out. As a personal note on the matter, I feel like she makes more cutting remarks and I appreciate her monkey paw responses

Whatever it is, it isn’t worth it

Honestly, it was a little bit frightening

Having lived in a house with radiators, bleeding registers is like a once every 5 years type of task. There’s a much larger leak in the system, you should talk to your apartment manager.

My workplace offers a mental health benefit similar to this, we inform HR that we’ve scheduled a mental health appointment during work, tell our manager that we’re stepping away for an hour, and then return to work after the appointment. It would be a good idea to ask someone in your company how to use your benefit.

I’ll be the first person to remind you that HR is not your friend, but this is exactly what they exist for

I don’t remember giving permission for this picture of me

Consider pixelfed, the fediverse alternative to Instagram

It’s only guaranteed to work with pixels. It still works with other phones, but with varying degrees of success and obviously no official support.

Well Gompers would be all in on the anti-china thing going on right now, he’s part of why the AFL supported the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Mother Jones would probably die a second time from a heart attack when she finds out that republicans are rolling back child labor protections.

IWW members would probably be organizing service, retail, and contract workers.

The men from Blair mountain and Harlan county probably wouldn’t lay their arms down this time.
