I really hope people online aren't getting the wrong impression of unions and that they're flawless Things that will protect them from any and all mistreatment and that strikes are fun little treats union workers get

Unions are People not Things. Union leaders can fuck up. Unions can definitely operate in a way that gets you low wages and poor benefits if you're not being represented well.

A union by itself does not guarantee you anything. Unions take work and money to run. You pay dues, you go to meetings, you vote. You protect each other in a union. You don't join a union and magically have everything taken care of for you.

Strikes are a powerful tool but are scary. They're not a goal to achieve. Unions don't aim to go on strike during negotiations.

Be who you are for your pride!!! 🧡🤍💖

rosencrantz is dead guildenstern is dead and me i feel also not so good

Iron Lung something a bit spookier

I got a marketing email from hobbycraft to say that they're now selling plush pumpkins ahead of halloween

so of course I went to the website, which led me to this delightful photo series showing the different sizes available:

I love and support this man and his pumpkin collection

i am BEGGING ppl 2 start making media abt women that does not revolve around mothers/daughters, believe it or not not everything abt women + feminism has 2 do w mommy issues + mommy trauma.

just imagine how bizarre it would b if every movie or book or poem about men had to do w how their father was self sacrificing or whatever for them. how their fathers trauma passed down to them. etc etc etc, even media solely abt manhood + the journey to it or thru it does not tend to do this

reversed, it seems very strange + very sad that u would b missing out on some great creations the past few decades. why do we treat women's media like this

are you going to buy snacks for the demon outside the 7-11

to everyone who said yes, you are now married. congrats!

Cryptid fish that has only been seen once and never again that may or may not exist but well never know my beloved

If you don't know the story of the Beebe's Bathysphere Fish, you owe it to yourselves to read about it. It's one of my favorite examples of cryptozoology as the actual study of animals unknown to science, as opposed to just telling stories about monsters and appropriating world folklore.

THE WRITER AND ACTOR’S STRIKES HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PAUSED THE PRODUCTION OF 4 MARVEL MOVIES!!!! thank you striking creatives.

my strangest legacy - in high school, for one reason or another (I can’t remember) my friends and I wrote “34 days until March 2nd” on the whiteboard in the drama classroom. It was completely arbitrary but we kept it it up, “30 days until March 2nd”  ”23 days until March 2nd” etc. It spread around enough that the entire school is buzzing about what is going to happen on March 2nd. We figure we should think of something and decide to bring in cake. There were about 13 of us in total committed to bringing a cake. On March 2nd, during 3rd period lunch we all entered the cafeteria in a line (the parade of the cakes) and laid them out—a grand cake buffet for everyone in that lunch period. We did it the next year. And after we graduated it kept going.

This past March 2nd was the 9th year they’ve done it. It’s become a school sponsored event. There are t-shirts for this thing every year. March 2nd is cake day. I am a god. 

my former teacher sent me a package. it’s the 10th anniversary this year. they’re already getting ready for march 2nd. it’s january.

it’s March 2021 and i’ve been told there will be cake on the 2nd. I was recently sent the t-shirt design for this year. it’s the 16th anniversary and it will be the last March 2nd Cake Day at school for my former teacher who is retiring this year
