this is literally never not accurate

What happens to disabled people WILL ALWAYS happen to you.

This is actually the original definition of emotional labor, as defined by Arlie Hochschild, the sociologist who coined the term. It refers to the labor of performing emotions in order to do your job. It is not enough to just do your job, you have to put on a performance

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Okay Starbucks has started the huge ass strike so if you weren't already boycotting, now is the time! No Starbucks for the holiday season! Yeeehaaawww I love collective action

Hey! Former Starbucks worker here (still have scars from 2nd degree burns), please don't cross this picket line. Starbucks is a chronic union-buster. There are so many wonderful local coffee shops to support instead. Make your support for Union Starbucks stores known until *& then after* a strike! 🖤

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Was watching some old videos of myself from just 4 years ago and oh my god the 30s glow up is so real. No offense to past me but I am so much hotter at 30 than I was at 26

so like are we also not allowed to celebrate this guys death or does that only apply to up and coming fascists who are still actively ruining society lol.

It's not just here but in some charged threat cases where DOJ is treating, "you're a Nazi" or "you're a fascist" as a threat rather than a reasonable observation.

Rest in piss buddy boy

we were told AI would cure cancer. that it would bring us quantum computing. instead we get slop, and racist propaganda. the (historically accurate) Luddites were right, man. Smash the machines built with the sole purpose to demean your humanity. Entrepreneurial spirit isn't inherently virtuous.

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer. It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

Everything tested on the Palestinians is coming home. These will eventually be weaponised. People are not reacting fast enough.

New awareness campaign

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

yeah wtf man i'm so serious that i think this is the Big Tobacco bullshit of our age

Lots of lovely folks want to cook for neighbors, fill community fridges during SNAP shutdown but are intimidated. A mutual aid group in Flatbush, Brooklyn has been feeding 80+ people every single week for a year and a half or so now. Nobody is born knowing how to cook for 80, so here's our guide!

I really need folks to stop acting like Trump's goons are somehow emotionless terminators. They are super insecure bullies who desperately want to seem strong and powerful and popular and it kills them inside when they're not. Like Trump.

I can't imagine having to be in Heba's position. Heba is in pain every day in her uterus and vagina because lack of menstrual products has led to infection. Lack of immune system due to malnutrition has also played a part, as has the killing of so many doctors in Gaza. gofund.me/9bcdb219c

I haven’t eaten anything substantial in 3 days. I’ve only raised $10 so far Please help me survive

Back in 2004, CBS aired a sci-fi Legal Drama called Century City starring Viola Davis and Ioan Gruffudd that took place in the year 2030 where Oprah is currently president. Please bear witness to how insane these two paragraphs are on its Wikipedia page.

I love my bed head because it gives me big fluffy Carol Kane hair

I wasn’t exaggerating it rules so hard

It’s a really nice, good quality mirror though and I got it for only $25!!! And the now dead lady seems like she was happy in her final years so hopefully she moved on, but if not, I feel like she’d be a nice ghost

This year I’m really embracing the spooky season by purchasing a dead woman’s mirror on fb marketplace ✨

Definitely had this hunch when I read that their personal property was seized as well. Makes me think of the Bronx in the 70’s when they just straight up burned the buildings down.

My brother (who is also my roommate) adopted a dog and somehow I don’t think our downstairs neighbors are probably as thrilled about it as we are

There's a bigger play going on here. Slumlords coordinating with ICE to roust tenants, steal or destroy their stuff, damage the building so its uninhabitable. All to trigger legal expedited evictions, make insurance claims, and then sell to developers. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media. The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters. They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters. Israel is once again breaking international law

I did this over the weekend! The apt took barely 10mins and for both a flu shot/covid booster, the effects this year were very mild compared to what I’ve dealt with previously. A slight fever that hit right before bed so I slept it off and then low energy for about half of the next day. Not bad!

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

It's genuinely insane that this isn't a bigger news story. Where the fuck are they Where the FUCK are they

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

That silly little picture you generated is cranking up energy costs, hurting artists, and adding absolutely nothing to the world.

my mom is out of the halfway house and needs some cash to get on her feet in her new living situation. she already has a job. for those who don’t know, she got out of jail pretty recently and was facing deportation this summer. the goal is $2000.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

I would rather share one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone. ✨

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police
