I'm mad as hell & I'm not gonna take it anymore. Here to slap sense into academics until the dumb bird app inevitably combusts. Chronically punching up.
@Mari42025330793@OldManLefty1 I'm sorry, in what world do you think white people in Texas are going to voluntarily pick lettuce even for moderately higher wages than migrant workers do now?
I wish people would realize there was a world wide pandemic 4 yrs ago that affected the economy of the entire world.
Not only that but large corporations took full advantage and raised the prices on everything and haven't lowered them since.
Stop blaming Biden & Trudeau!
@alioop326 I don't. In some cases I'm able to enjoy their work while being mindful of what they put into it, but I don't give them money and I will go out of my way to lose them money.
In one case I was personally involved so much that it's also ruined it for me.
Incidentally, they called me to follow up on my recent registration as I listed my in laws as my "us address" not realizing I could just stick with my last address. He said what I did also works as I have a valid tie to that address.
Someone in the Ohio Secretary of State office told me today that most of the "voter fraud" complaints they handle turn out to be expats who are, legally, voting from their last US residential address. Current residents file because they either don't know or care that it's legal.

@The_Sarahnade We just celebrated 3 years of marraige and I'm still crazy about him. Sure there's days when he drives me nuts in a bad way but they are few and far between. Most of the time, he makes me laugh. He makes me brave. He makes me feel loved. Can't ask for more.
I've worked there and I've been a grad student who was pressured not to delay a big milestone like this and I've worked with many grad students who were outright punished for having lives. Fuck literally all the way off with your lukewarm 'she made a choice' takes.
There's a lot of "well I imagine that was her decision" and from someone who's been in a similar position and worked a lot with grad students those people are vastly overestimating the agency grad students, esp minoritized ones, have. Especially at a school like Rutgers. I
