person who will lose their job: the guy who had to try and steer a massive cargo ship with no power in a sandstorm

person who should lose their job: the guy who decided to build a cargo ship longer than the suez canal is wide without considering the obvious corner case (or more likely, the guy who dismissed the possible corner case as unlikely and the profits worth the risk)

yyyyyeeeeeeeep.

This article talks about the “notion of an 18,000 TEU container ship” being a nightmare.

the basic emotional condition of capitalism is anxiety, fueled by insecurity. one of the most common, yet most effective, rhetorical moves used by the apologists of capital is to present this motive force as aspiration, rather than terror - that is, to disingenuously figure the motion of the system as a running-to, instead of a running-from. it is like if the camera were only ever positioned behind indiana jones, following him as he “aspires” to reach the exit of the cave, not once turning around to reveal the colossal stone sphere just inches from crushing him

It's hard to explain how alienating the media has been this year as an "essential worker". Every single piece of media produced this year is about how "we're all" stuck inside all the time now, and I'm just like..... I got two weeks at home when I actually had covid and otherwise have gone to work every single day I normally would. All these adverts and news show lines about how we're all in this together and we're all spending our days baking banana bread and zoom calling and all this and I'm like..... Well, not all of us I guess. And it's weirdly alienating and makes you feel weird and cut off

we need to talk about this more. being forgotten by capitalism is deeply terrifying, because when we’re not marketable we don’t exist.

I don’t even know anyone irl whose lives have been truly disrupted like that, who’ve only been leaving their house for groceries or food and to come back or whatever. Literally everyone I know is an essential worker. No one at any point worked from home. It’s been plainly spelled out that I and everyone I love are completely disposable in such a blatant way.

might get crucified for this but destiel could’ve been it

if there was a play about an angel who pulled a repressed homosexual man out of hell and fell in love with him then yes i’d post snippet quotes from it. you would too. we all would.

Don't get me wrong everything on Tumblr has been hilarious about this but nothing will come close to the emotion I felt when I came into work this morning and was greeted with teary-eyed laughter by my coworker who has a supernatural tattoo

to be clear I am not emotionally invested in ‘representation’ from the worst show to air this decade I just think this whole situation is incredibly fucking funny
