rich folks love to use the word empower when they talk about poor ppl but that objectifies us while also implying that we ain’t got no power without em which is a big old joke.

This shit is why you can't separate continuing to financially support the Harry Potter IP (whether by buying the games, merch, watching the new TV show when its out) from the consequences of what JK Rowling does with that money She's become so stiflingly powerful that even private docs arent safe

If ICE can kill anyone it wants with impunity, then none of us have any meaningful rights. It’s that simple.

"don't lash out at people loving what you do" is a sweet way to say it. I agree that loathing your work is just part of the improvement cycle, but sometimes your *current* skill level is someone else's goals and telling them their goal is shit isn't very kind to them.

In New York City, if you break our worker protection laws and shortchange your workers, we will make you pay back what you owe.
Yesterday, we recovered $2.3M for 1,600 workers from Walgreens, Calzedonia, and Kinship Coffee. Since January, we have recovered more than $10 million for New York City workers. Because our City is not a billionaire's playground.
New Yorkers have the right to a regular schedule and protected time off. If your employer violates our laws, file a complaint at nyc.gov/workers and we will fight to put money back in your pocket.

Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!! This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.

Frame 2: The bus comes, it's wrapped in an ad that also says "STOP HIRING HUMANS." The artist has a blank look.

Hey Execs who are clearly new to this. If someone could get 8 million people to watch their content, why in the world would they need to make any kind of deal with you? That's not how this works. YOUR job is to look for talent that DOESN'T have an audience. That's why you invented marketing.

Picture of a burning hillside where a warehouse used to be

A California distribution warehouse for the consumer products of giant Kimberly-Clark burned to the ground on Tuesday and an employee has been taken into custody under suspicion of arson. The sixth alarm fire required 175 firefighters to contain.

A video circulating online, reportedly taken by the agreed worker shows them setting fire to several pallets of toilet paper while calmly repeating "all you had to do was pay us enough to live."

Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER?
