UPS drivers making more money will help all workers make more money.
Labor united helps all labor. Rising wages is not zero sum.
Don't fall for 'divide and conquer' rhetoric from the Establishment. They fear the power and influence of worker solidarity.
It’s so fucked up how tiktok culture has made clout-poisoned people turn the public into content, every day I see people minding their business have their entire faces put online for thousands of likes, a couple kissing on the train, a lady dancing across a cross walk, a guy nodding his head to the music at a club, a lady buying a banana at the store, ring camera footage of the neighbors kids being stupid. Just let people live jfc
I think I may have made it seem like this is about wholesome content (which my sentiment towards that is the same) but most of the time when I see this stuff people are being ridiculed for being completely normal. And I didn’t make up any of these examples btw, I couldn’t find the dance one but only because there are too many videos of people being recorded at cross walks

Im gonna add this to every post about this i see im never gonna shut up about it. This will get people killed. This will ruin lives. More people live in hiding than you think. So many people are one post away from having to abandon their whole lives. Dont ever post anything of anyone without their consent, stranger or not.
I am a photographer. It is my job to go into schools and take candid photos for the yearbook.
The number of kids that are on a 'do not photograph' list isn't large, but it is a non-zero number. If that kid is even out of focus in the background, we do not use that photo.
If a child shows even the tiniest bit upset that there's a person in the room with a camera, I do not take their photo.
At pop culture conventions, I ask people if I can take their photo. Or if I take a candid of them, I track them down and give them my info and get th3ir consent before posting.
At events like parties, concerts, performances, consent is generally implied because these are photographed events, but if an attendee approaches me and tells me to crop them out then I crop them out.
This makes street photography tedious, but I learned in my very first job as a camp counselor that people have very good reasons for not wanting their photo publicized. There are kids in the foster system with abusive parents. There are adults with stalkers. There are people who might be a witness to a crime.
Even outside of this- I've seen how private persons become memes against their will just by going out in public. Some people are super not normal about meme fame.
Leave people alone. The world is complicated. Make your own content.
Can we please make the deep sea the next cool desirable “final frontier” pretty please. I want Elon Musk to design a horrible Tesla Brand submarine and go down to map the Mariana’s Trench for commercial development and watch it crumple like a tin can the second it reaches 200 meters
i love this wolf so much i had to draw him…..

common misconception. what they've actually invented is money but worse
Countries definitely love it when you go around minting a competing currency within their borders. This will go well and see no complications.
That last comment isn't even a joke they are literally part of the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors group.
we need a three day weekend i swear to god no experiments no testing no bullshit we gotta lop off a workday
I just spent 5-6 years working 4-10s and seriously, we need that 3rd fucking day. I'm back working 5 8's and I hate it.
I don't know how I managed before. That day of pure rest. The day of pure creative. The day to not have chores, errands, or obligations. Want to catch up on sleep? Go for it. Got a show you've wanted time to binge? Have at it. Games to play? Hike to take? Hobbies to work on?
I never realized what having that extra day did for my well being till it was gone. Yeah, I'm bad at time management, but even on my days off I just feel bad because I just need to rest but I feel guilty if I do. If I sleep too late I won't have any time to do what I need or want. I feel like I'm fighting with myself between my needs and my needs- the need to rest, to catch up on sleep, to get energy, and the need to actually do things- laundry, dishes, cat, self-care.
Yeah, I've been pitching the idea at my new job since I got here- apparently I wasn't the first to bring it up, but it's getting from the 'talking' phase to the 'enacting change' phase.
we need a four day workweek and we also need those four days to not add two extra hours to an already long standard shift. 8 hours is a third of a regular person’s waking day (i am ACUTELY aware of this as a narcoleptic whose reset time is twelve hours. a six hour shift is half of my waking day). Four day workweeks are great but taking the time off the fifth day and adding it on to the other four days is, I feel, nulling the point of a four day week. And yes I am also suggesting the pay increase per hour to compensate for 32 hours being the new full-time. At the very least.
We also literally have studies showing that longer shifts are not more productive, at all, because productivity drops sharply partway through. We’re not meant for long periods of dedicated work. We get the most done in like the first 2-3 hours of a shift. So it doesn’t make sense to lengthen them anyway, in most jobs - you won’t actually get more done.
32 hours should be the new full time.
Kelpie is embracing her inner longness today, and doing it all over the house. Right now, she's being Long on the bedroom floor. As soon as I move, she will, too, to be Long near me.
Kelpie is an eight month old Maine Coon kitten.
