lets say hypothetically that i wanted men to die and suffer for all time

#which is more than the money made annually by the 50 biggest companies in the world btw #apparently icelandic women went on an unpaid labour strike in the 70s and it brought the whole country to a standstill can we pLEASE bring #this back!! #a;so the countries with the smallest divides #it isnt that the men do more #its countries with better social care etc #WHICH MEANS the gap still exists #just becomes a class AND gender gap #the average USamerican woman spends more than 4h a day doing unpaid work #which is literally like a second job #imagine what u coudl do with an extra four hours in ur day

Showcase example of why I am deeply skeptical of Eat The Rich types. Too many of y'all are like this fuckhead who has no clue what rich requires eating.

Also for context: Ron Perlman has been acting since 1975. Studio exec Bob Igor made $27 million last year from Disney alone, just one of his streams of annual income, which includes but is not limited to stocks, real estate and consulting.

Here is the link to the petition! Demand an End of Alabama's Forced Labor Scheme in State Prisons

Something I learned a long time ago, and I will never forget -is that the reason why most prison systems have very short visitation times is because they do BUSINESS with a huge telecom company -and the hope is that with shorter times to see people in their life, they will HAVE to inevitably use in-prison phones set-up and therefore will spend more money... Once you start reading about the prison industrial complex you will surely become an abolitionist.

Angela Davis' work is something I can't emphasize and recommend enough to people to learn who want to learn/unlearn more about these issues as a start. This Is one of her most recent books. But she has many on this topic:

⚠️ ATTENTION UK COMRADES ⚠️

never in my life did i think i would be making a post like this but here goes.

what's happening in the university of brighton?

during the past week, the university of brighton has announced 110 staff redundancies in a bid to save almost £18m.

meanwhile, senior management have recently shelled out an almost identical sum of money to buy out the lease of a sports facility on campus - a decision which nobody asked for or wanted.

these redundancies will be finalised at the end of june and will have a catastrophic impact on learning conditions, which rely on the expertise of our lecturers. though the ripples of this decision will be felt throughout the university, it explicitly and disproportionately targets 'non-profitable' degrees such as humanities, arts, social sciences, etc.

for the staff made redundant, it could mean the end of their academic career due to a surplus of unemployed academics as a result of sector-wide lack of funding for teaching and research. this is also happening during a cost of living crisis.

lecturers on work visas could be forced to leave the country and may not be able to support their families. those who aren't made redundant will suffer from increased workload, larger class sizes, inability to conduct research and more students per member of staff.

the university of brighton offers a fantastic range of unique, interdisciplinary courses in the heart of the uk's queer capital, allowing our vibrant student community to benefit from intimate seminars that immensely benefit our learning. with some of our departments being cut by more than half, the loss of these will be absolutely devastating.

in the e-mail the student body were sent, we were told the redundancies 'wouldn't affect us', with zero acknowledgement of the relationship students build with their lecturers.

this is an attack on the job security and dignity of our valued body of educational staff. the vice chancellor, who takes home around £250,000 a year, said she 'needs to pay the gas bill'. we say human beings over buildings.

the student body cannot allow this. this sets a dangerous precedent for workers all over the country.

so what can we do to help?

let them know that this not okay. voice your concerns to the vice chancellor debra humphris, who can be contacted at [email protected]

spread information. tell your friends. kick up a fuss. stand in solidarity with staff and students. contact your local representatives and encourage them to offer support. jeremy corbyn has already given his!!

consider following @ uobsolidarity on instagram to stay updated.

here is a petition you can sign and some relevant news articles. here's how to find your mp.

SOLIDARITY FOREVER. FUCK GREED. PLEASE BOOST!!!

Everyone making fun of Reigen like the dude isn't literally in his late 20s. Dude started the psychic agency when he was like, 24. It's a miracle that place is still running. The fact that Reigen isn't even 30 years old explains absolutely everything about him.

#like yeah of course he extorts a middle schooler for labour he's 28 and eats like a college student #mp100 #reigen arataka #like yeah of course he's weird he has the social circle of a guy who's friends all went to found families ten years ago in his late 20s #he literally had a quarter life crisis #mob psycho 100 #don't get me wrong reigen is absolutely bulliable #i'm just saying if i founded a psychic agency now to spite my parents it would go about the same #if not way worse actually

we literally have no clue how much of the horrors in genloss actually represent the content creators’ actual feelings about content creation and how much of it was just thrown in to make it a better story. i want to throw up.

#generation loss #genloss #we know that niki's character is based around how she's treated online #but like how miserable are content creators in reality?? #not to be parasocial either bc i am genuinely just fascinated in the social phenomena of content creation and labour as a whole #but content creation is so idealized and content creators tend to talk positively about it so are they actually just fucking miserable? #and how much of that is our fault as viewers and how much of it is a product of capitalism and broader societal expectations? #rated rambles

I thought I was the only one who still didn't understand what the Spina Di Rosula was 😭

You know, anon, I was debating with myself whether to put that joke in because I was thinking "Did I just have a poor reading comprehension moment?" However (compilation below):

#navia was so enthusiastic about the case that she just. forgor #like she showed up with her henchmen and fontaine invented sunglasses apparently so I was like. ah it's the famiglia #and then they were like. we have a permanent accessible base of operations which basically acts as a local government for Fish ToT #and then she drops that she has a liason with the actual police ? #hey girl <3 your organisation has a positive(?) social impact but its labour classification is unclear <3 #anon #ask #ty for the ask! #and also providing a space for me to compile everyone being confused LOL

a socialist will never lead the Labour Party again in the UK. after Corbyn, centrist MPs will see nominating a socialist as a credible threat. this matters when at least of fifth of his nominations came from centrists who wanted to "widen the debate". coupled with that, labour has since changed the rules, meaning that a leadership candidate needs to be nominated by 20 percent of Labour MPs, rather than the 10 percent that it was in 2015

if you're a socialist in the UK, the Labour Party is a dead end for us. only a party that's dedicated to building socialism in the UK and worldwide will serve our interests. joining hands with capitalists leads us nowhere
