1903 - THE MATCH GIRLS WITH ROTTING JAWS, LONDON 🇬🇧
Look at the young women's faces. Their jaws are swollen, rotting, glowing in the dark. They are teenagers — 14, 15, 16 years old. This disease was called "Phossy Jaw."
Their job was dipping matches into white phosphorus. White phosphorus is poison. Every day they breathed it. First their teeth fell out. Then their gums turned green and black. Then their entire jawbone rotted and had to be cut out by a doctor with no painkiller. Some died screaming.
The factory owners knew. They knew since 1880 that white phosphorus kills. But it was cheap. Safer red phosphorus cost 3 times more. So they kept using white.
These girls worked 14 hours, 6 days a week, for 4 shillings. If they talked, they were fined. If they dropped a match, they were beaten. Their faces glowed at night from the phosphorus — they called them "ghosts" on the streets of London.
In 1888, 1,400 of them went on strike. All teenagers. Led by a 16-year-old girl named Sarah Chapman. They marched to Parliament with their swollen faces and said: "We would rather starve than rot."
London was shocked. And finally, in 1908, Britain banned white phosphorus — because of these girls.
This was not medieval times. This was 1903 in London, the richest empire on earth.

진지하게하는 말인데 내 공간에 초대를 한다는거 자체가 사실 원래가 되게 불편한 일이 맞음
기본적인 예의는 사람이라면 지켜야 하는 거지만 상세한 상식의 기준은 사람마다 조금씩 다를 수 있음. 그걸 전부 손님이 지키지 않았다고 화가 난다면 집에 손님을 초대하지 않는 게 맞다고 봄
Vean la paliza que un policía estadounidense le dio a un anciano solo porque mintió con su nombre real en una parada de tráfico en Lewiston, Maine (EEUU), en plena calle le da 5 golpes en la cabeza.
Un día más en el "pais de la libertad", ese que reparte democracia por el mundo.
Aquí, la derecha se tiró una semana defendiendo que Trump estaba liberando Venezuela del comunismo, y resulta que solo estaba robando, como decía la izquierda.
남성 운전자가 횡단보도 건너던 여성에게 시끄럽게 경적 울림-여성이 항의하자 남성이 "죽여줄까" 위협-"그래, 죽여라" 맞받아지차 남성은 차량을 인도로 돌진시켜 들이받음-피해자 수풀 쪽으로 튕겨 나가 양발이 골절되고 허리 다쳐 수술. 목줄 풀린 미친 개가 너무 많다.. https://t.co/yjmELVVVvC
뉴진스 소속으로 하이브가 붙는게 너무 불쾌하고 역겨움. 뉴진스를 억지로 활중시키고 멤버들을 찢어놓고 특정 멤버에게 소송을 걸어 괴롭히고 나머지 멤버들에게 그걸 지켜보게 하고. 그런 와중에서 기록을 갱신하는 그룹의 성과는 아무렇지 않게 지들이 누리는게 진심 역겹고 토나옴. 인간이 아님
