my union and many fellow unions (81000 teachers, librarians etc in the greater Helsinki area) is going on strike from tomorrow onwards and i’m so excited ❤️ it’s almost everyone’s first strike as the previous time teachers went on strike was in 1984. yay!

(also, even here in democratic socialism land, the employers’ attempts to break the strike even before it’s started have been pretty nondemocratic this time. and the amount of anti-strike propaganda they’ve been spewing, eurgh!)

i’ll be on strike guard duty most days, looking forward to it!

Mick Lynch, General Secretary of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) has been in the media all day talking about the rail strikes and god what a great spokesperson he has been for them.

Here he is handling some ridiculous line of questioning from Kay Burley who is trying to suggest the union will be encouraging violence on the picket lines and referencing the 1980’s miners strikes, which is pretty absurd for a whole host of reasons:

Here he is calling Chris Philp, a Tory MP and Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport a liar approximately 900 times for spouting nonsense on Newsnight (I can only post one vid so these will be links)

Here he is telling Richard Madeley he’s talking “twaddle” for asking him if he’s a Marxist, which tbh I think was polite because imo Richard Madeley is just a c u n t xx

And if you’ve any uncertainty as to why rail workers are striking, these two clips will be a good place to start

The universe really said “Monday’s going to really suck, so today I’m going to let you find a bunch of really cool stuff at Goodwill”.

Do you know how long I’ve been thinking of buying that specific Rufus from eBay because my brother had one when we were kids 🥺

And if I can get that Powerpuff Girls game to work on my laptop, it could be so fun to make a let’s play of

#I hope it doesn’t count as crossing the picket line to record it soon #I don’t think video games or cartoons are under the strike but I don’t want to do so accidentally #goodwill #goodwill finds #goodwill haul #LOTR #lord of the rings #return of the king #powerpuff girls #PPG #the powerpuff girls #gamesville #pc gaming #pc games #kim possible #Rufus #Kim Possible rufus #kp rufus

What impact would us all canceling our subscriptions to the streaming services, logging out, and only watching pirated alternate content for thirty days have on making media execs negotiate fairly and pay people for their work? Would it be equivalent to everyone taking a fan outside and pointing it in the direction of a hurricane?

Now…we weed out the scabs!

#oh boy there are gonna be scabs this i know #so now is not the time to gush over your fave actors/actresses #cause I’ve got a gut feeling some of them will try and dodge this #and everyone is gonna act shocked #but remember! #you don’t know these people and the lengths they will go to get a check #even if it means crossing the picket line #sag strike

I gotta say - whenever I see discussion about a North American-made live-action BNHA property it makes me want to quit my job and pursue writing and directing so I can take it out of their hands

#of course #don’t cross a picket line #please support the writers strike #but also #come on you guys #it makes me froth a little when I think about it #BNHA #my hero academia #heroaca #boku no hero academia #all might #do not un-Japanese this series that eliminates the impact and purpose

me @ drew barrymore: girl the strike

#actors can’t promote their work so does she want them to cross the picket line?? #or is she just gonna wing it with musicians #like I don’t understand what’s she’s doing or why

[iibislintu]

mmmmmm i’m taking the bus to the workplace and in front of every school i see teachers in strike guard vests - makes me feel oddly proud & powerful!

in a moment i’ll don the vest myself ❤️

Uhm… if I stream the SHINee beyond live concert will any of y’all watch 😭😭😭

#SM is deeply evil but I’m willing to buy a ticket so other people don’t have to #i also don’t know if this counts as crossing the picket line since none of the artists have asked us not to suppor the label?

friendly reminder you can dislike things without having a higher than thou n virtuous reason for it, like, something doesn’t have to be morally bad you can just….. not….. like it cause it’s not your taste?? i see so many people start trying to hunt down “problematic” aspects in a piece of media to justify why they don’t like it n then to also convince others they shouldn’t like it either. there’s no need for that, if you don’t like something that’s okay, no need for some pious justification

#talking about the live action one piece rn #i’m seeing people REACH for reasons to justify hating it n it is not that serious #nothing is inherently wrong with (n ffs no advertising is not crossing the picket line) #people just don’t like it n that’s FINE THATS OKAY you don’t need to you can dislike it #but to try to find ‘problematic’ n ‘immoral’ aspects of it to justify your dislike for it is weird n unnecessary #look at my posts boy #you guys are so annoying like fr fuckin annoying #it’s hardly ever that serious stop virtue signaling you look pretentious n stupid

the loss of succession, barry, and ted lasso all within a week feels like too much

plus, with the wga still on strike and it seems like little hope of reaching an agreement soon, most of my favs won’t be back for a while

:((((

#i’m broken #on top of that yellowjackets season finale :((( #i 100% support the strike and don’t want people crossing the picket lines #succession brain rot #ted lasso brain rot

progressive ~communities~ spend so much energy and focus tearing themselves to pieces all day every day out of, like, variably self-righteousness and also traumatic paranoia and man. that’s gotta be at least as responsible for the mired-in state of things at this point as any actual opposition is

dunno how but we all gotta rediscover goal-oriented collective action—solidarity on an intentional chosen axis, even with people you think are an asshole on other axes—and also just like unclenching your fists enough to be a little fucking generous with one another in applying the benefit of the doubt

#i don’t even know how many times i’ve seen people raise furious beef with each other about like #using the ‘wrong’ terminology or phrasing for something #for shit where there is absolutely no consensus about what the ‘right’ terminology is #you know. you fucking know. we gotta figure out how to be cool about shit for long enough to actually accomplish things #the bayonetta thing has me thinking about this again like. #unite as workers have solidarity as workers or it’s not gonna work #you don’t cross a fucking picket line because you know a couple of those striking factory workers and they’re assholes
