For people thinking to themselves "But my industry / job doesn't have its own union, there are no unions for <people with my job>", I can highly recommend the IWW. I've seen firsthand how they won several thousand quid of stolen wages back for one member https://t.co/pL7M6JVUT9
Just listened to @Keir_Starmer’s drivel. How can anybody believe a word he says?
It is people such as @UniteSharon who give real hope for the future.
Meaningful work & action not empty rhetoric and virtue signalling.
Join a Union today.
I hope you never make it back to our islands the rest of your life. Fuck you for taking away housing from a Hawaiian family. Your “piece of mind” is driving us out of our homeland
The killing heat has arrived. People are literally being burned alive, collapsing on sun-scorched surfaces and dying from extreme burns because surfaces are just that hot.
Yes, really. This isn't dystopian fiction, it's our reality. And it's only going to get worse. 1/6
Lol someone on reddit made a post about a made up feature introduced in WoW so that a news site using AI-driven scraping bots published an article about it and it worked
At this point, Shein could sell clothes made of human skin, and folks would get on this app and say, “Poor people deserve clothes made from human skin too. Where else am I supposed to find cheap clothes made from human skin? It’s classist to tell me not to wear human skin.”
this shouldn't be a hard concept to grasp, but men calling conventionally beautiful women like margot robbie 'mid' is about control because they think that withholding beauty from women is a form of punishment and signals to any other woman that she should 'know her place'
I don’t know a single long-term chronically ill woman with neurological disease who at some point hasn’t been given a false FND (aka hysteria) diagnosis.
Years later, we all found out something serious was missed bc of medical misogyny and ableism. And we’re Disabled bc of it.
When medical providers hear the term "brain fog" they often shrug their shoulders but a "brain injury" diagnosis leads to action, as it should. Let's call it what if often is - a brain injury, not brain fog. @CIBScenter#PICS#LongCovid
I hate the term “productive member of society”. It comes from the capitalist idea that your value lies in your ability to produce, and what you produce.
You are valuable, period.
Remember a guy I volunteered with in 2011 who had severe MH problems. He'd told an ASOS assessor that when he went to the supermarket, he'd have a panic attack. 'Geoff likes to go shopping,' they wrote, & his benefits were stopped. Osborne doesn't deserve a moment of peace.
A California man caught covid at work. He infected his wife who ended up in ICU. So he sued his bosses. The largest lobbying group in the US got involved. The court ruled against the man because a victory would mean “dire financial consequences for employers.” Is it clear yet?🧵
Dear @ferminkoop, @ZMEScience, we are wasting most of our resources, energy and fossil fuels via 3-4 billion non-contributing, net loss #bullshitjobs. Causing #climatechange and "inflation". Please address root causes.
